Ooo ooo
MC LYTE "Tell em what you see, miss I Arie"
I see
Money come between my best friend and me
MC LYTE "What else"
I see
Old friends become new enemies
MC LYTE "tell 'em where you've been"
I've been
Through a couple of litigations
I've been
Through character a**assination
They tried
They tried
They tried to put this stick in between my wheels
But they can't stop my motivation
Nothing will
I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is
I fear no evil 'cause I'm protected
No weapon armed against me shall prosper
'Cause I'm walking with the heavenly father
And I do believe that I'm gonna prosper
'Cause I'm walking with the prayers of my mother
You won't get the best of me
Even though you broke my heart
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
You won't get the best of me
Even though you broke my heart
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
I see
Maybe this isn't the life for me
I was thinkin'
Maybe I should leave the music industry
I've been
Betrayed by the people I've trusted
I've been
Ooohhhh seriously disgusted
They tried to put this stick in between my wheels
But they can't stop my motivation
Nothing will
I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is
I fear no evil 'cause I'm protected
No weapon armed against me shall prosper
'Cause I'm walking with the heavenly father
Hey! And I do believe that I'm gonna prosper
'Cause I'm walking with the prayers of my mother
Oh whoa
You won't get the best of me
Even though you got ma money
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
haha
You won't get the best of me
Even though you got ma money
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
MC LYTE Rap
You can't get the best of me
Cause of my destiny
Not to be less than me
But to be more
So don't question me
I came and I conquered
I soared to new heights and still I explore
In my fight to survive
Lights still too bright
Keep my eyes on new sights I continue to play
So when you try hurtin' me, even desertin' me
No but I'm designed to overcome adversity
Just wanna bring out the worst in me? It won't happen
Cause I take responsibility for my action
My tenacity well it has to be everlastin'
Cause even when it comes to backstabbin'
I'm laughin'
You won't get the best of me
Even though you broke my heart
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
You won't get the best of me
Even though you got ma money
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
(Repeat)
You won't get the best of me
Because by the grace of god
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
(3x more)
