With the same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Shit that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me aks Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed prepare to be crucified
Uh, media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle
Every step you take they remind you, you ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now
Now the question is "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?"
Because.....
It's an old verse by the way. From a song he did about Basquiat called Most Kings, was supposed to be on Kingdom Come but got scrapped. He did the verse on Hot 97 for a freestyle a couple of years back, but it sounds much better on this track. As Chris was involved in the Kingdom Come sessions, he probably heard the original and asked specifically for this verse to use in the remix. Good choice, sounds great to me.
