I Still Don't Care

I don't care about the people who don't care about me/ And I still don't care.../ I will leave this world the way I came in/ And I came one deep... I don't need no pair/ I don't care about nobody who don't care about me/ I only care about those who offered something to eat/ When I was hungry and they stuck by me/ When I was lonely, they visited me with sweets/ My opponents wanted to put me six feet under/ But I fought it, I stood taller/ I'm nationwide now and you will see me/ From North to South to East to West/ My name will be respected like the coming of Jesus/ So you should bow down now, run to see me/ I know it's hard to see somebody on top that you envy/ You can't do nothing about it, just smile and be friendly/ I know they tired of me winning, they tired of me grinning/ It's getting kind of sickening so they try to be with me/ I'm fine being distant because I like what I do/ I only care about me, I don't care about them/ I did my time in prison, and I never done the crime/ Never complained they were not with me, just did my thing/ I know there are a lot of people hating on me/ Waiting on my downfall, they keep waiting on me/ I live my life in the mountains, with my head in the clouds/ With my mind on my money, trying to get what's mine/ Not worrying about nobody, but me and myself/ Me and my wealth, just trying to put records on the shelf/ Nobody will help me out the way I really need it/ So I treat them how they treat me, I tell them to beat it/ My name written in stone, you can read it and weep/ When they try to give me something, I tell them, keep it/ They were sleeping on me while I was in the kitchen eating/ Cooking up these recipes that you hear me speaking/ When I was down and on my knees, they abandoned me/ Now, they want to be friends and friends I don't need/
