[00:09.07]Know the boy D-Double do it all day
[00:11.27]Get the messing with his tracks, no foreplay
[00:13.62]Seems simple now but it wasn't always
[00:16.01]Used to sit up in the Pap High hallways
[00:18.54]Teacher put me there saying that I talk to much
[00:21.04]I thought I knew it all but I never knew much
[00:23.41]I come to school late because my form room sucked
[00:25.79]And we hang out by the canteen all through lunch
[00:28.09]Young teen with a pac(men)tality
[00:30.09]No dream I can make reality
[00:31.81]All I care about is popularity
[00:33.71]Trying to pass Jessica trying to get a touch
[00:35.95]And a Mufti day try them with some new Chucks
[00:38.55]Try them with some new Nikes or something
[00:40.34]They didn't give a fuck about assignments or nothing
[00:42.70]Didn't make music even though I loved it
[00:45.10]Scared to try , high to shy get busted(?)
[00:47.38]So I sit on the sideline
[00:50.38]Despite in my time
[00:52.84]If I could be in their shoes
[00:55.03]The things that id do
[00:57.44]But wishing won't get you know where
[00:59.89]Dont be scared to go there
[01:02.17]If you sit in my wake
[01:04.61]Do it the right way
[01:05.09](yeah ya)
[01:07.08]No I wasn't in the first fifteen
[01:08.63]Wasn't in the choir, Never learned to sing
[01:10.97]Couldn't play an instrument or pluck a string
[01:13.28]Or the little rich kid whos dad bought him a car
[01:16.13]A regular dude fading in to the background
[01:18.91]Never took center stage, didn't really stand out
[01:21.21]I remember school TalentQuest
[01:22.84]We would hang out see this other dude rap
[01:25.05]Then he'd be the man around E block
[01:26.50]For like the next two weeks, scoring all of the chicks
[01:28.69]While these Diggas my mom bought, are falling to bits
[01:30.98]And I'm off in detention, for ignoring Mr. Smitts
[01:33.63]And this bitch mocked me in class for having big lips
[01:36.00]It was a hard knock life for a kid
[01:38.09]Till I realized that a life isn't lived
[01:40.19]If you're worrying about what other people might think of it
[01:42.49]Don't sleep on this little boy's raps because he might be a hit
[01:45.48]So I sit on the sideline
[01:47.98]Despite in my time
[01:50.18]If I could be in their shoes
[01:52.48]The things that id do
[01:54.94]But wishing won't get you know where
[01:57.33]Dont be scared to go there
[01:59.69]If you sit in my wake
[02:02.25]Do it the right way
[02:06.36]Dont let it go by
[02:08.62]There ain't no reason known why
[02:10.81]Youre waiting around
[02:15.87]You could be a star
[02:17.71]Just watch from a far
[02:20.25]Just stop waiting around
[02:23.21]School finished did a little bit of growing up
[02:25.47]But it wasn't like music was blowin' up
[02:27.92]Shy as ever figured out I had to grow some nuts
[02:30.37]And put my self out there, so they know whats up
[02:32.66]And yeah I was pretty scared what they might say
[02:35.11]They FENZ at it and say its bad in a nice way
[02:37.50]Or I wasn't doing it the right way
[02:39.10]But there ain't no right or wrong
[02:40.85]Got one life to live and it ain't that long
[02:42.95]So you gotta stay strong, gotta stay on
[02:45.44]Another day sittin', wishin is another day gone
[02:47.90]Another day doing dishes, or just mowing up the lawn
[02:50.19]Coludve been another day that another star was born
[02:52.53]So I sit on the sideline
[02:55.22]Despite in my time
[02:57.49]If I could be in their shoes
[02:59.87]The things that id do
[03:02.21]But wishing won't get you know where
[03:04.70]Dont be scared to go there
[03:06.95]If you sit in my wake
[03:09.45]Do it the right way
[03:15.77]Dont be scared man
[03:18.21]Dont worry too much about what people are going to say
[03:22.42]Because at the end of the day
[03:24.08]The only person who still thinks about that stuff is you
[03:28.47]Ya know?
