This is, uh, a little unsportsman-like, but that's okay.
I'm not even gonna stretch though. I'ma just jump on the field, and do my thing...

Hook 1
As the old adage goes, as the old adage goes/ lessons learned the hard way make the old adage gold/ and the lessons i have learned have that old adage pose/ but i've yet to meet an adage i can old apropos/ they tell me i don't live quite serious enough/ when i lay awake at night, life's serious enough/ i'm tryin to win the fight while seething with disgust/ getting tired of the critics like "serious! enough!"/ i've tried and i've failed, recovered and I've triumphed/ i've walked every road on the way through life's trials/ i'm hungry and i'm tired, but still i'm inspired/ steady reaching for dreams before my drive expires/ or should i say, before my life expires/ cuz as long as i'm breathing, i'm dreaming of achieving/ relief from my grief and i need something to believe in/ i wanna see the wonders, then we'll be even steven.

If you hungry, why wait? Eat your words, my niggas.
(Melody by Takashi Miller)
Eat your words, what you said he other day is for the birds, 'cause I always finish first
Eat your words, open wide and let my lyrics quench your thirst, 'cause I always finish first, eat your words

Verse 2
Got these cowards catchin feelings when they see just how I'm shining/ wit a glow that's oh so bright, got em screamin like The Shining/ claimin I'm so arrogant, misguided when I'm rhyming/ but the truth behind the criticism is that I remind em/ of the dreams they never accomplished/ the schemes that made em a convict/ imprisoned by their jealousy and petty little nonsense/ But I will not apologize for graspin opportunity/ smiling with a twinkle in my eyes through all the scrutiny/ insecure, like, "Who is he?"/ taxin me, no duty free/ consider this a mutiny, there's nothin you can do to me/ my journey thru the jungle was like rumblin wit Rumble/ every little step I took they tried to make me stumble/ tried to knock me on the humble/ Even sting the king bumble/ but now they see me on my way they mumblin like Mumbles/ they all worked up, ears perked up like Dumbo/ but i just block shots and wave the finger like Motumbo/

Verse 3
They said it couldn't be done/ they said it couldn't be won/ all that stuff they said, they musta said it for fun/ cuz here I am on top of proverbial Mt. Everest/ and this is just the beginning, I'm gonna alter the Guinness/ meet me at the altar with reasons to stop making wishes/ if I get married, tell Peter and Paul I got the dishes/ when the Saints go marching in, I'ma be in that number/ one spot like that boy that PG for the Thunder/ so keep overlooking the Zero/ I'm a hero/ nice guy now, you don't wanna see the Nero [deNiro]/ I go from goodfella to godfather/ you just adding fuel to the fire right now so why bother/ I hope the words that you cook got enough seasonin/ don't let em go cold you gotta reheat em/ funny taste in yo mouth as soon as you speak em/ hope you choke on your words as soon you eat em/
