Allen Iverson (Prod by Cool n Dre) Lyrics

Allen Iverson:
I'd b lying if I said that it didn't bother me u know becuz I think that I created all this. Like wit the mistakes that I made in my life u kno I created a picture of me that's not that's not me u kno i-I did alota things when I was young that I'm not proud of but u kno I think things helped me to be the man that I am now.
Vs 1
Wen u cumj from nuttin n turn it into a fortune
The ppl around u all want their portion
A couple mercedes a couple of porsches
Da bitches is sheisty so a couple abortions
Folks get slimy they all like oysters
The media pickin at u they all lik vultures
N u on a pedestal, u gotta stay focused
Ery move u make, it represents ur culture
U wanna b normal but that life's over
Now u on tv magazines n posters
U represent gangstas u represent soldiers
N they can't stand y? Cuz u not Oprah
N u got tattooes ya hair cornrowed up
N they lik O my n u lik So what
The world is cruel but one thing it showed us

Whatever don't kill us only makes us mo tough
A.I.:

Vs 2
In search of fame, at sanities cost
U a household name but all privacy lost
U make a mistake they hang u up on a cross
All of a sudden they forgot who u r
They for got about all da times u hustled n fought
Plz show me a king that's never suffered a loss
Or sho me a man that's never suffered a scar
N I'll sho u a man that's never given all
Or u sho u a man that's never given his heart
If I'm becomin a monaster its all y'all fault
U can't b a gentleman wen u swimmin wit sharks shit
Wen u can b superman who wanna b clark kent
Pour out my heart til I wind up heartless
Tryna b a father w/o havin a father
They hate wen u rise n celebrate wenu fall
But thru out it all I jus ball
I jus ball (continue till A.I. n beat fades out)
A.I.
