[00:33.40]I'm old enough to know better  young enough to not give a ****
[00:36.63]Rather hold my head high and die than living dumb
[00:39.13]
[00:39.82]Remember I was down to die just to live it up
[00:42.46]But life's a ***** and I judge it's quickly given up
[00:45.20]They say that life is short  several looking through the bars
[00:47.15]Gotta keep your head up  I be looking to the stars
[00:50.04]
[00:50.97]I be doing like  wasn't looking for no cause
[00:53.49]They ain't kill me  though  now I'm here looking at the scars
[00:56.30]Sometimes you get caught by people looking from a far
[00:58.79]That's how it is when you out here taking cookies from a jar
[01:01.74]That's what my son said  they came and took him and his draws
[01:04.29]He support the family  they took the mama favorite bro
[01:06.55]
[01:08.63]To face  that's my favorite bar
[01:10.52]Here's the rainy days they say you should be saving for
[01:12.91]But when sun shines no one carries umbrellas
[01:14.76]
[01:15.55]And if they did  they be looking dumb like dumbfellas
[01:17.88]
[01:18.41]I'm trying to become some  they probably become jealous
[01:20.61]
[01:21.27]Have a lot to say about it  but afraid to come tell us
[01:24.05]
[01:24.65]I'm here to beat the odds that were set against me
[01:27.21]Wished the worst left to anyone who bet against me
[01:29.76]I wanna be somebody  somebody that's never been
[01:32.46]No squares in my circle  best shape I ever been
[01:35.07]I'm growing up  my daddy planted a seed
[01:37.48]
[01:38.27]My mama watered me with a plan to succeed
[01:40.22]
[01:41.03]I was that kid in the ghetto  hand full of seeds
[01:43.36]But I'm here now and I don't play a receipt
[01:45.90]
[01:46.87]Sometimes I think I love to back a right time
[01:48.82]
[01:49.73]Imagine I would've ****ed up that night slime
[01:51.89]
[01:53.20]It hurts to even think about it
[01:54.72]Would be in the streets  thirsty  trying to get a drink about it
[01:57.32]
[01:57.92]Black pouty  I pull that quarto cinque
[01:59.96]While they put that iron to your clothes
[02:01.69]Like I'm taking wrinkles out it
[02:03.44]Take every Franklin  Grant  Jackson and Lincoln out it
[02:05.97]Look you in the eyes and tell you don't you even think about it
[02:09.37]So as you're hearing dropping this rhyme
[02:10.94]Know that my opportunity couldn't be stopped at a dime
[02:14.16]The life you chose come from lack of options in time
[02:16.47]Gotta do what you gotta do  even acting a crime
[02:18.80]
[02:19.32]And who am I  Without a name  dropping an arm
[02:21.87]
[02:22.40]Someone who sold a copy and then he just stopped  he just climbed
[02:25.07]Someone who get money without dropping a dime
[02:27.62]Transform to your leader and my optimus prime
[02:30.48]So  for dinner you're stopping at prom
[02:33.75]Run at your patron  top of the line
[02:36.04]Hold 'em up  look at your niggers and say
[02:39.01]There was no way out  but we figured a way
[02:41.54]
[02:42.35]And now we chill  loaded up a still
[02:44.62]I just wish a nigger would but I know a nigger will
[02:46.97]
[02:48.09]But for real  good is how you feel
[02:50.28]But as soon as a nigger good is as soon as a nigger will
[02:52.69]
[02:54.34]And we don't own these niggers nothing
[02:55.98]
[02:57.29]Put that in a nigger will  yeah
