"2010 - Mr. October"
(feat. G Herbo)

Look
You speak English, right? That's common sense
Me, I had to learn to speak English for self-defense
Going through them projects your boy learned to battle rap
The more my punch connected, the less I had to scrap
And that's real rap
I don't talk to connect lines
I really tried to be the president, I faced the gun line
Two different mindsets
When you was in a gang, I was tryna build a paramilitary out in Port Au Prince
Now listen, I got a new acquisition
You can go from drug dealing to a corporation
From cooking in a kitchen boardroom meetings
Quarter bricks to quarter reports in rotation
See, I flipped the hustle to world domination
Why sit in a cell when you can sail the ocean?
And feel like Fresh Prince with a butler from England
1996 Bordeaux, see the glass glisten

I'm writing through the mirror, Candyman, coke and meth
Shakespearean pen, I knew a fiend named Macbeth
She giving tibèf, that's head under the project steps
So much potential but now just to use utensil
Daytona cover, her brother found a needle in her
Suicidal, no time to call a 800 number
Fuck a drug dealer, homie turned robber
Reaganomics started stealing the dope from Norega

Envision a new acquisition
You can go from drug dealing to a corporation
Cooking in the kitchen to a board meeting
Flip the hustle, now it's world domination
200k a week, I used to spend on Jacob
200k a week and now I'm buying acres
Reggie Jackson, Mr. October
Once I read the liners, I'm taking over

Aye, risk takers, still on the quest for the paper
Eight figure checks, anything less is a caper
I been oppressed, now I'm back for my forty acres
Feel disrespect, clipper to ya chest, get a taper
I been neglected, hated, my parents separated
Put to the test, I sold crack but still blessed I made it
The crib stressed, Pops came back, he changed that
A generation full of kids that got whacked, I blame rap
I do vacations to relax, remember days I played the trap
On road trips I rather back of the Maybach to take a nap
The 'Rari top is missing
Before I had the top spot, I played my position
Got no experience but lecture me like I should listen
I hit the streets with opportunities and propositions
Drop them switches and go start a business
Accountability go hand in hand with my decisions
Defeated all the competition with no pot to piss in, it's me

Envision a new acquisition
You can go from drug dealing to a corporation
Cooking in the kitchen to a board meeting
Flip the hustle, now it's world domination
200k a week, I used to spend on Jacob
200k a week and now I'm buying acres
Reggie Jackson, Mr. October
Once I read the liners, I'm taking over

I know it's hard to freestyle without the teleprompter
But ya boy improvise like he Charlie Parker
Fire starter number 23 under pressure
Uh, I show up in the fourth quarter
That vibration that you hear from my tone
That's a pain when a King is made from a broken throne
Think of a Jeezy symphony
It can go from perfect harmony to drums and agony
But these days, I read from the book of Timothy
Put money on your books and I'm pushing for the clemency
Yeah

Envision a new acquisition
Success the best vengeance for the opposition
Cooking in the kitchen, boardroom meetings
Flipping the hustle, world domination
10 M's on your boys' wrist
But now I reinvest and multiply the risks
100k to 10x CoinBase wallet
Real estate outer space, that's my next purchase
