[00:14.34]I wonder where is this, hold up
[00:15.64]Get the **** out my business, show enough
[00:17.03]We roll up then load up
[00:18.28]Just a bastard born out of wedlock
[00:20.23]Close to the Earth like a dreadlock
[00:21.51]Got my sites on deadlock
[00:22.65]Visions of my enemy in a headlock
[00:24.14]Feel like I'm livin' in Bedrock, surrounded by rubble
[00:26.34]Just a youngin' in trouble
[00:27.32]Took a shot and then made it a double
[00:28.99]Took a shot and then made it a double
[00:30.48]This that food for thought, my school ain't taught me good
[00:32.52]No one greedy inside my hood
[00:33.93]But a tablespoon of this baking soda gon' make it good, like it should
[00:37.07]That's ignant isn't it
[00:38.25]Hold up now wait, take a look at my pigment
[00:39.62]Tell me again, we can never be kin based on the color of my skin
[00:42.22]Matter of fact your lips ain't thin
[00:43.83]That's a club I don't wanna be in
[00:45.47]My DNA get done integrated
[00:47.08]My God it's innovative
[00:48.26]That's a million miles away from administrative
[00:50.03]I ****in' hate it, anyway
[00:51.53]Long ago, way back in the day in a place called West Deer Park
[00:54.32]I was like 5, sit in my mama lap while she would drive
[00:56.60]Police would knock on the door, I would hide
[00:57.92]Then they would talk to me and I would lie
[00:59.29]Hopin' I, don't die on this side of a .45
[01:02.33]Then they would handcuff my mama and take her away
[01:04.51]Over down on the driveway
[01:05.86]Fast forward a couple of years and I'm bumpin' that Sade
[01:07.76]Fast forward a couple of more and I'm bumpin' that "My Way"
[01:10.11]By Sinatra, so high, so high, oh my, God damn
[01:13.43]Now I'm a grown man, oh man
[01:15.15]What the **** done happened to the plan
[01:16.63]I know, as soon as I write this I might just go crazy
[01:19.54]Anything but lazy, I can't sleep
[01:21.95]Cause if I do, there's another mother****er wide awake on the creep
[01:25.11]Tryna kill you and he will too
[01:26.87]We livin' like civilized people, but far from equal
[01:29.17]I hope I live a long life and get to see my sequel
[01:32.24]My son, my seed
[01:33.51]Watch 'em grown and then watch 'em lead
[01:35.16]Let me proceed, bumpin' that that Californication, by the Red Hot
[01:38.16]**** around and then hit 'em with a red dot
[01:39.74]Y'all better not me ****in' with me

[01:57.73]Follow, follow me
[02:00.82]Follow me to paradise
[02:04.28]{Part II}
[02:28.03]I remember my life long ago in my adolescence
[02:30.28]I could feel the presence in my residence
[02:32.51]Hesitant even thought it was evident
[02:34.09]I should get the ****
[02:35.16]I know something is wrong
[02:37.20]Yeah, I know something is wrong
[02:39.04]Feel like my mind gone
[02:40.18]I know I play along, I might drown in this song
[02:42.82]Huh, I'm so focused, huh, I know you know this
[02:45.49]Uh, when I make a move and feel like no one notice
[02:48.21]Uh, when I quit my job, uh, I ****in' noticed
[02:50.74]Shit maybe then I'm noticed, huh, but maybe not
[02:53.34]Feel like this minimum wage is contagious
[02:55.04]So outrageous my age is on my mind
[02:56.59]Walking to work and I go blind
[02:58.75]Sippin' on that Koolaid, gettin' big wig money, that's toup茅e
[03:01.17]Look around and see people with no class, like snow on a school day
[03:03.84]Y'all can't do what I do, do what I do
[03:06.90]Starin' out this window like, like Erykah Badu
[03:09.41]Livin' life how I do is crazy
[03:11.24]This shit never amaze me
[03:12.15]But I still let it phase me and I don't know why
[03:13.84]All I know is my mind racing
[03:15.84]A million miles a minute, the second I'm in it yeah I be pacing
[03:18.65]Bitch I'm back again
[03:19.53]Been here since way back when, now let that shit begin
[03:22.09]This album 2 but this song was written before the first
[03:25.41]My mind racing, I'm sick of pacing, I feel the thirst
[03:28.22]Of those around me that down me and pray on my demise
[03:30.84]But it only makes it that much better when I rise
[03:33.74]This for the people that been through it and couldn't do it
[03:35.69]Had a vision but blew it, while haters screaming "I knew it!"
[03:38.25]This is real, so real
[03:40.03]The type of shit that make you feel like you gotta kill
[03:42.61]Most of these people will never hit fruition
[03:44.61]Paying tuition when they should've just listened their intuition
[03:47.19]Now they wishing they was switching up their lifestyle
[03:49.74]All alone with no one to dial
[03:51.83]I'm just a man, I got problems, understand
[03:53.83]This is all I ever wanted, yes I do it for the fans
[03:56.61]And I ain't perfect
[03:57.52]I've questioned if this life was even worth it
[03:59.56]Cause all the people care about is what lies on the surface
[04:01.86]And my purpose is to do it like it ain't never been done
[04:04.53]Always keep it real and remember where I'm from, now
[04:07.62]This album 2 but this song was written before the first
[04:10.01]My mind racing, I'm sick of pacing, I feel the thirst
[04:12.63]Of those around me that down me and pray on my demise
[04:15.37]But it only makes it that much better when I rise
