Someone else has wrote it, and to be honest.
Watch the throne, sounds like pusha t writing inferior jayz verses.

So we gon' act like Hov didn't get bodied on this?
Dnt do this to me

They say a midget standin on the giant's shoulder can see much
further than the giant
So I got the WHOLE rap world on my shoulder they tryin to see
further than I am
And I have been tryin to be patient with they preoccupation
with David and Goliath
But sooner or later, that patience gonna run it's course
and I'm forced to be a tyrant
But bein tyrant, comin through your environment
I'm so far ahead of my time, I'm bout to start another life
Look behind you, I'm bout to pass you twice
Back to the future and gotta slow up for the present
I'm fast, nikkaz can't get past my past
How they propose to deal with my perfect present?
That's Lu's run on metaphor style. Look how it goes from the giant theme to the "patient with they preoccupationwith David and Goliath." Then the patience run it's course and being a giant turns him to a tyrant. And he says tyrant twice. The same pattern repeats in a later verse just like Lupe does.
Lupe won a Grammy for Daydreaming.

This wouldn't shock me, Jay-Z is well known for using other people's songs and adding his lyrics to songs like Can I Get A and Empire State of Mind.

"do it again" hook was stolen from a go-go song called "Overnight scenario"

Nothing on TBA is close to Reasonable Doubt lyrically, but cats are 100% positive with no proof that Lupe wrote on it?
As if dude had been a wack lyricist before that album. You cats are funny.
