I never claimed to be an angel
But you gotta look at shit from my angle
Why's everybody so judgmental
Cause I earned my stripes like a bengal
Like a bengal, like a, like a bengal
Like a bengal, like a, like a bengal
Why's everybody so judgmental
Cause I earned my stripes like a bengal

I'm a bengal, send me to Cincinnati
Love this game though, rapping makes me rather happy
Ain't in it for the cake or the crabby patties
Or the caddies or lackeys, still keep my khakis a little baggy
I'm a B-E-N-G-A-L, we raise hell
Not a demon, nor am I close to an angel
You can lose your soul with the same sale
These drugs can't help you regain your brain cells
Pain dwells on a chosen few, it's overdue
I get the credit I deserve, my emotions are skewed
I'm sure of it, it's probably true, my apologies, dude
But you comparing me to a fucking prostitute
You looked up to me, such a fucking hypocrisy
Knew we was never friends from the jump, partner, see
You was just pining for a reason, obviously
But that ain't come close to stopping me, no

I never claimed to be an angel
But you gotta look at shit from my angle
Why's everybody so judgmental
Cause I earned my stripes like a bengal
Like a bengal, like a, like a bengal
Like a bengal, like a, like a bengal
Why's everybody so judgmental
Cause I earned my stripes like a bengal

Moscato or hollow tip model tits
Holla, it's time to do a crime or you swallow clips
Check my stats, only charge I got as a minor
Riot and criminal mischief for Mr. Whiner
Jailbird, quit complaining bout hard time
You did the crime then what's the issue? Pound sign
Got no symphathy, you selling it and smoking it
Well then you bet on the wrong number and lost your poker chips
So convinced you was doing not a damn thing wrong
Like selling illegal substances didn't bring it all on
I'm no angel, not gonna baby you motherfuckers
But quit selling that ROC like a diamond cutter
I'mma utter 5 letters that paved my success
When it comes to others, I.D.G.A.F
Earn your stripes, spit heat til it burns the mic
Show your motherfucking teeth like you on a hunger strike

I never claimed to be an angel
But you gotta look at shit from my angle
Why's everybody so judgmental
Cause I earned my stripes like a bengal
Like a bengal, like a, like a bengal
Like a bengal, like a, like a bengal
Why's everybody so judgmental
Cause I earned my stripes like a bengal

L.D. on the track, that oktane flame
Put that fire to the beat, destroy the main frame
I'm a bengal, mayne, I DO NOT GANG BANG
So quit acting like you know me, we aren't the same, dang
BEAST until my feet stop working
Eat BEATS until my stomach's hurting
Never let 'em Dunst you unless you fucking Kirsten
Game on when you walk through those curtains
All you can be is yourself, quit searching
Let 'em know that your lurking, urging them to march in
You'll be waiting like a 30-year old virgin
Merging lanes, taken, bursting into flames, scorching
Course when they find you, you'll start convering
Diluted prayers can't save 'em, body parts divering
No diversions, even an angel's gotta eat
But this bengal came to raise hell and eat a beat, OH!
