[00:27.54]Yeah yeah
[00:31.28]I grew up a **** as screw up
[00:33.26]Tie my shoe up
[00:34.40]Wish they was newer
[00:35.57]Damn need somethin' newer
[00:36.95]In love with the baddest girl in the city
[00:39.29]I wish I knew her
[00:40.35]I wish I won't so shy
[00:41.87]I wish I was a bit more fly
[00:43.46]I wish that I could tell her
[00:45.00]How I really feel inside
[00:46.69]That I'm the perfect ***** for her
[00:48.40]But then maybe that's a lie
[00:49.93]She like a certain type of nigga
[00:51.62]And it's clear I'm not that guy
[00:53.17]Ball player star player
[00:54.77]I'm just watchin' from the side
[00:56.41]On the bench
[00:57.19]'Cause my lack of
[00:57.88]Confidence won't let me fly
[00:59.67]I ain't grow up with my father
[01:01.37]I ain't thinkin' 'bout that now
[01:02.88]Fast forward four years or
[01:04.58]So from now I'll probably cry
[01:06.30]When I realize what I missed
[01:07.78]But as of now my eyes are dry
[01:09.46]'Cause I'm tryna stay alive
[01:10.94]In the city where too many niggas die
[01:13.51]Dreamin' quiet tryna dodge a suit and tie
[01:16.05]Who am I
[01:19.01]Aye who am I
[01:21.64]Yeah
[01:23.31]Things change rearrange and so do I
[01:26.43]It ain't always for the better dawg I can't lie
[01:29.58]I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
[01:32.54]I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
[01:36.07]One time for my mind and two for yours
[01:39.42]I got food for your
[01:40.74]Thoughts to sooth your soul
[01:42.57]If you see my tears fall just let me be
[01:45.72]Move along nothing to see
[01:47.53]I always did **** the hard way
[01:49.54]My niggas slangin' in the hallway
[01:51.91]Burnt CD's and trees like this was broadway
[01:55.20]Times square
[01:56.21]Kept the dimes there in the locker
[01:58.24]Some Reggie Miller
[01:59.37]With more brown hairs than Chewbacca
[02:01.54]Whispers that he got it for the low low
[02:03.92]Sell a dime for a dub
[02:05.74]Them white boys ain't know no better
[02:07.64]Besides
[02:08.31]What's twenty dollars to a nigga like that
[02:11.00]He tell his pops he need some lunch
[02:12.66]And he gon' get it right back
[02:14.18]I peep game
[02:15.22]Got home snatched my mama keychain
[02:17.46]Took her whip
[02:18.42]The appeal too ill to refrain
[02:20.63]I hit the boulevard pull up
[02:22.48]To my nigga front door
[02:23.83]His mama at home
[02:25.09]She still let 'em hit the blunt though
[02:27.04]I told her hello
[02:28.20]And sat with my nigga and laughed
[02:30.37]And talked about
[02:31.29]How we gon' smash all the ******* in class
[02:33.53]I complimented
[02:34.63]How I see him out here getting his cash
[02:36.88]And just asked
[02:38.04]What a nigga gotta do to get that
[02:39.95]Put me on
[02:40.78]He just laughed when he seen I was sure
[02:43.29]17 years breathing his demeanor said more
[02:46.52]He told me
[02:47.31]Nigga you know how you sound right now
[02:49.97]You wasn't my mans
[02:50.99]I would think that you a clown right now
[02:53.05]Listen you everything I wanna be
[02:55.47]That's why I **** with you
[02:56.93]So how you looking up to me
[02:58.78]When I look up to you
[03:00.39]You 'bout to go get a degree
[03:02.05]I'ma be stuck with two choices
[03:03.93]Either graduate to weight
[03:05.36]Or selling number two
[03:06.83]For what
[03:07.36]A hundred bucks or two a week
[03:09.25]Do you think that you would know
[03:10.51]What to do if you was me
[03:12.41]I got four brothers
[03:14.64]One mother that don't love us
[03:16.68]If they ain't want us
[03:17.48]Why the **** they never wore rubbers
[03:19.92]I felt ashamed to have ever complained
[03:22.36]About my lack of gear
[03:23.59]And thought about how far we done came
[03:25.50]From trailer park to a front yard
[03:27.49]With trees in the sky
[03:28.70]Thank you mama dry your eyes
[03:30.48]There ain't no reason to cry
[03:31.96]You made a genius and I
[03:33.51]Ain't gon' take it for granted
[03:35.09]I ain't gon' settle for lesser
[03:36.80]I ain't gon' take what they handed
[03:38.42]Nah I'm gon' take what they owe me
[03:39.84]And show you that I can fly
[03:41.63]And show ol' girl what she missing
[03:43.26]The illest nigga alive

[03:55.55]I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
[03:58.78]One time for my mind and two for yours
[04:01.90]I got food for your thoughts
[04:03.64]To sooth your soul
[04:05.17]If you see my tears fall just let me be
[04:08.42]Move along nothing to see
