The Dedication Lyrics

Yo, this first gotta go out to all the folks who ain't believe

Who been the fuel to my tank since the day I was conceived

All them so-called friends, all them hoes that said they love me

All them motherfuckin' DJs that ain't never fuckin' bumped me

All them dusty-ass promoters that ain't never fuckin' pay up

There's no beef, I found my own way up

While I was ridin' down 30, on my way to the dirty

With a couple of them rolled, double-cup on slurpee

Picked up the pack from my Sap, did my thing and came back

Did that shit a couple times, now my pockets is packed

So now I gotta check the burn, I hit up P bout' the theater

He said I had it when I wanted, but there's some not allowed near her

I was cool, nothin' personal, he know what it do

But as the days went by, I was sadly surprised

Because of insecurities, he created his demise

I ain't claimin' to be perfect, I mean, who the fuck am I

Oh yeah, that nigga who been down since 2005

Who never, at any time, ever snitched or ever cried

About some shit I got myself in, or some shit I was thrown into

Before they heard me rappin', the hustle was instrumental

Gave my heart to my city, to my team, and to the culture

And then was left to die, for the varmints and the vultures

Rose from the depths, I wouldn't even call hell

Went against every single odd, but found a way to prevail

Bitches never noticed me, now they see every detail

Showin' they ass and tits off, tryin' to get some retail

But I won't let the ratchets get me, nah, I stay with repellent

Na I don't need no bud, dawg, I don't care what you sellin

If I did, what would I look like talkin' to you

As you pulled up to the pump like 20 will get you two

Chunk you to deuce, and now behind me is some red and blues

Nah, I'm straight, it's cool, I won't pressure the dude

He work for me, he don't know his plug just came through for two

And he gon' need another few in like a hour or two

See, if you knew me and my past, you would say

I'm doin' better with my attitude

And all, hopefully this shit's forever

Cause since the day I got with Jim and put my son on the track

I've seen my patience pay off, now it's time for payback

Once again, this is goin' to all whoever fuckin' doubted

That I'd ever have a crowd of white girls

Fuckin' shoutin' out my name, out the motto

Out they wanna fuckin' swallow, but I ain't goin' down that hall

Cause we all know where that hall go

And what you fuckin' all know is I'm still right here

After the peaks and the valleys, I remain right here

To infinity and beyond, no buzz light year

I'm shootin' shots of tequila, chasin' it with light beer

Pourin' hella out for my brother, Blurry, I know you right here

If I had one wish, it'd be to bring you right here

Let you see what we built, a fuckin' kingdom

All around the world now, we got her singin

And I'd like to present a toast to my motherfuckin' self

For bein' down for a nigga when there was nobody else

For not fuckin' givin' up when you even doubted yourself

For all them long ass nights, hustlin' while the kids sleep

And still wakin' up at five, makin' sure the kids eat

For not giving up, I'm like, where would them kids be

You coulda walked away, it just isn't in me

I know what I did and didn't have to do

I made my decisions and stand by em' to the death, baby

I have no regrets with everything and anyone

And everyone I gave my all

And again, right now, I'm pourin' out my soul to y'all

And it's for no ill intention, but I would like you to listen

And let me know if there's anything that you see that I'm missin

Cause all the fans want me real, and the women say that too

But every time I see the try, they don't wanna see the truth

So now I'm sittin' in the booth, pissed off and confused

Demolishin' shit, now they want the old blue

Damn, I'm like, what should I do

What should I do

You know, I've been reppin' this Dfw shit for a long motherfuckin' time

And I've heard a lot of motherfuckers try and share the same messages

But you know what I'm sayin'

Like Dallas and Fort Worth and everything in between, we're the same thing

You know, it's time for us to act like the 35E and the 35W

Come the fuck together

It's crazy how those two interstates come together above us and below us

And we still can't get that shit right in the middle

Let that marinate

Blue
