"The Encore"
Something I gotta tell somebody,
just in case you didn't know
I gotta show you where I came from,
so you can see where I gotta go
See I started out with nothing and
I've been through some things
But there really ain't a difference,
I gotta gotta little change
I've been hood rich and I've been broke
Singing in the choir y'all, even sold ****
See I've been clean and I've been high
Lived like a king and I had to get by
Had a couple tens in my bed at one time
Them down as *****es when I didn't had a dime
Seen it all, heard it all, did it all
Appreciate the rise, hope I never gotta fall
Always thought it would be good but I never had it this good
I remember doing bad when a ***** didn't have,
now I'm thinking back
Always thought it would be good but I never had it this good
Had to get it how I could,
I was so misunderstood out the hood, now it's all good
Old friends came in with, saying that I didn't act the same
But I wasn't really different, it was them who started to change
Had to go a new direction, didn't wanna let 'em go
That was way before I noticed that they didn't wanna grow
I've been hood rich and I've been broke
Singing in the choir y'all, even sold ****
See I've been clean and I've been high
Lived like a king and I had to get by
Had a couple tens in my bed at one time
Them down as *****es when I didn't had a dime
Seen it all, heard it all, did it all
Appreciate the rise, hope I never gotta fall
Always thought it would be good but I never had it this good
I remember doing bad when a ***** didn't have,
now I'm thinking back
Always thought it would be good but I never had it this good
Had to get it how I could,
I was so misunderstood out the hood, now it's all good
