| Yo, I’m tired of looking at everybody. | 
| Same boots, skully hats in 90 degree weather, looking to get into clubs for free. | 
| I’m not
 | 
| smoking blunts, or looking for jazz records at the Roosevelt.
 | 
| I left New York, the city itself was stress depression
 | 
| High boots and urban beats, that wasn’t my direction
 | 
| Producers filtering join in with R&B
 | 
| A million rappers, some clones trying to sound like me Biting my space styles, biting my horror-core
 | 
| All I saw was Kool Keiths on my thaw
 | 
| Record companies had G’d-off all my royalties
 | 
| Watching vinyl spin, local groups’wack MC’s
 | 
| Some try to rap with that perpetrate mobster crap
 | 
| Karl Kani jeans, fat stomachs in the limosines
 | 
| Mixtapes by wack DJ’s adds doo doo play
 | 
| I’m on the turnpike, the city drifting down the highway
 | 
| Like a mirage, the style there is all illusion
 | 
| On videos out of town, peoples buy confusion
 | 
| Rolling high with cash pulled over down my eye
 | 
| Since I’ve been out, y’all can’t see
 | 
| Is the world made of plastic?
 | 
| Is the city buried in dreams? | 
| (Yeah)
 | 
| Is the world made of plastic?
 | 
| Cause that’s the way is seems (Owww)
 | 
| Watching TV so bored, while imbiciles hold the mic cord
 | 
| Graffiti playgrounds are played out, yo how’d that sound?
 | 
| Army fatigues are weak, is for the minor leagues
 | 
| No rapping cyphers or brothers in the rented Benz
 | 
| Crews on stage, acting hard with a thousand friends
 | 
| I saw the place turn plastic, crackers looping beats
 | 
| People with no deals, walkmen rappin on the streets
 | 
| I turned my back, 90% of the city sounded wack
 | 
| Payola scams switched DJ’s like a rubber band
 | 
| Everybody clear with beats trying to be Premier
 | 
| Clearing s&les, your SP-12 fake ex&les
 | 
| My money grows with green from my own label
 | 
| While you act rich with no cash on the bigger label
 | 
| Your tri-state ways are shut down by barricades
 | 
| In fact I packed my bags, and listened to E-40
 | 
| Mac Mall, C-Bo, and other rappers you don’t know
 | 
| You’re narrow-minded and styles of mind you won’t find it My sound proceeds with moog and undertone bass
 | 
| No comic gimmicks with beats rapping in my face
 | 
| I come back real, solid rock razor steel
 | 
| Tap your program, show the world I’m the man
 | 
| You copy Poppa Large, the industry is large
 | 
| As I do see sorta rugged wack beer commercials
 | 
| Some rappers are bought and puppeteered like the Ninja Turtles
 | 
| From Manhattan I heat up, yo light up Times Square
 | 
| I make noise like open high hats on your cheap snare
 | 
| No promotional shows, girls wear corn rows
 | 
| People with hooded sweaters on crack keep me on my toes
 | 
| I walk with straw hats, fake glasses in the projects
 | 
| Bring my ghost image so tense on the line of scrimmage
 | 
| Playing my numbers, waiting for the Five to come
 | 
| Spaghetti out the window, people acting dumb
 | 
| Fire hazards wake the neighbors, your family’s nosy
 | 
| I come and go as I please on blockhead MC’s
 | 
| You bought new sneakers, no car, scrambling on the corner
 | 
| I’m not the star you are, the city’s fallen far
 | 
| By mechanism, you’re on my tip
 | 
| Stay off my penis, you’ve duplicated me for years
 | 
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are the one |
