What did the asian say
A peace of mind, that's what the asian said
I needed divine intervention
Was his religion and I was surprised
Him believing in buddha, me believing in god
Asked me what am I doing he said taking my time
Meditation is a must it don't hurt if you try
See you thinking too much plus your too full of yourself
Worried about your career, but did you think of your health
What did the indian say
A peace of the land, that's what the indian said
I needed demand, telling me longevity is in the dirt
Buy some property first, profit on better dollar
With generational perks
Equity at his best, really, you should invest
These tangible things expire, don't you expect
Income with so much outcome and yes
Look at my heritage, we blessed
Now what the black man say?
A piece of nookie
That's what the black man said, I needed to push me
To the limit, satisfy my hunger
Do it all for a woman, hair cut to a wool
We like to live in the jungle, like to play in the peach
What you saying to me
He said homie, come back to reality for a week
Nookie is power, cut on a new chick every night
I wouldn't be prouder, you should allow it
What the white man say?
A piece of mines
That's what the white man wanted when I rhyme
Telling me that he selling me just for $10. 99
I go platinum from rapping, I do the company fine
What if I compromise? He said it don't even matter
Make a million or more, you living better than average
You losing your core following, gaining it all
Put a price on my talent, I hit the bank and withdraw
Hit the bank and withdraw, hit the bank and withdraw
Put myself in the rocket ship and I shot for the stars
Tell me what you accomplished and what he said to the boy
I'mma make you some promises that you just can't ignore
Your profession anonymous as an artist
I don't target your market
You ain't signing your signature when I throw you my wallet
A lot of rappers are giving their demo all in the toilet
World tour, your masters, mortgage, I need ya

I holler, what you do? What you say?
I shall enjoy the fruits of my labor if I get freed today

What the black man say?
Tell 'em we don't die, we multiply
