Seen the world
Done it all
Had my cake now
Back when, back when I was like ten
10 years old playing basketball, 5 foot short but standing tall
Mid-90's when rap was raw, I dreamt big dreams, I dreamt it all
I said to myself "you can have it all," I never looked back, shit damn it all
So now I attack like a pack of dogs or a pack of wolves, I strap my shoes
I walk these miles, no backward moves, I never acted cool, stayed after school
Played chess in the 4th grade, momma made good food like a gourmet
See daddy was missing like all day so I fucked the world like an O.J
Now every other day I got a court date
If you treat life bad, she won't stay
Either abide by the law or pay
I felt lowercase shit, no name
There was a match sitting next to the propane
I was the gas and the match was my whole brain
I blew up inside around fourteen
Depression bled through our veins
Then rap came along and saved me
I felt crazy, on top of that I was angry
Nothing else could contain me
Rain beats slow, down my window
Pain below, my life is good for more
I don't recall a night where my life first striked
To my body like a knife in a hood fight
All I know is now I'm here, lil hood tyke
Neighborhood says I'm strange, don't look right
See, my moms is black and my pops is white
In 1987, that wasn't common in sight
I remember once in the store a nigga threatened my life
Now like "fuck you in my hood for" sweating in tight
I'm just trying to get some candy, bagging the dough
A couple Chick-O-Stick's to wanna bag me up
Death toe tagged me up
Leave a nigga dead, cold as fuck
Luckily though them clowns wasn't know shit
Man, on my mind: "this some muhfucking bullshit"
And if you want it man, I got a fucking full clip
I'm on my last dollar and you would do the same quick
I'm on my last dollar and you would do the same quick
I'm on my last dollar and you would do the same quick
I'm on my last dollar and you would do the same quick
I'm on my last dollar and you would do the same quick
Now I'm angry and give a fuck how you paint me
And give a fuck what you name me
I was gangbanging, a little crazy, Lord save me
And that's just what he did, I was blessed with a kid
Still a kid myself with a destiny to live
He took away the anger, let waste to the pain
Gotta raise my seed now, and glory his name, Jesus!
Rain beats slow, down my window
Pain below, my life is good for more
