[00:50.30]It's funny because it's been on my mind lately
[00:53.24]
[00:55.50]Having a **** beat **** idea
[00:57.55]
[00:58.33]Sixteen bars ain't enough
[00:59.53]
[01:01.59]How the **** can I squeeze my whole life into a 16 bar verse
[01:05.66]
[01:07.84]You know so many different levels to living your life
[01:12.94]
[01:13.98]Depicting with your wordplay exactly what life means to you
[01:19.36]
[01:20.67]Sixteen ain't enough
[01:22.33]
[01:24.81]I know y'all gonna feel me on this one
[01:27.07]
[01:28.22]You gotta feel me on this one
[01:30.69]
[01:32.92]It's funny how things change funny how time fly
[01:35.44]More than my feet travel the more that I feel fly
[01:38.17]More that I make now the more that the chicks smile
[01:41.01]She call me a local ***** I opened a Swiss account
[01:43.89]Eisenhower status Etta James on the dash
[01:46.59]Smooth as John Coltrane cruising in the Cadillac
[01:48.81]Seville - feel my life on the real
[01:52.08]We the Last Poets so this is a world premiere
[01:54.74]Rolling like Mick Jagger the women just getting badder
[01:57.33]All I see is the money cream Eric Clapton
[02:00.23]And all I wanted was one 16 ain't enough
[02:02.78]Talking that fast money 15 every month
[02:05.55]When your people labelled poor that motivated me more
[02:08.07]Everything I ever wore was once worn before
[02:11.04]Roll with the punches now it's box office numbers
[02:14.08]Dressed like Sammy Davis steaming my m*******a
[02:16.32]Double MG's double M fees
[02:19.44]We in every hood *****: government cheese
[02:21.72]Yacht to Yach**asters Old Dirty Bastard
[02:24.98]Floor seat for the Heat paper that I'm stackin
[02:27.96]Better put away a penny for the rainy days
[02:30.77]Pick and roll give and go **** a fade away
[02:33.54]Living like Scottie Pippen dribble riddles for vittles
[02:35.87]Started off with a scribble now I'm flowing a river
[02:38.56]She say my heart cold I'm naming my son December
[02:41.09]Whitney died night before the Grammys -- damn what a memory
[02:44.32]Trump Tower and I started with a 10 speed
[02:47.46]Born broke had to use a *****'s instincts
[02:50.01]Now I get a hundred racks for the 16
[02:52.78]Waking up to turkey bacon and my thick queen
[02:55.43]****** hating I'm just watching on the big screen
[02:58.61]3 stacks on the beat and the kicks mean
[03:01.20]
[03:05.06]You know how sometimes you got so much to say but
[03:07.06]
[03:09.25]They on- they only give you 16 heh
[03:11.44]
[03:14.28]Man it's like I mean I got so much to say
[03:17.32]
[03:18.75]The world has said so much to me
[03:20.77]And I just wanna give right back to 'em
[03:22.53]
[03:25.16]But I only get 16 that's like a cage you know
[03:29.73]
[03:31.02]I really can't say what I wanna say you know it's just a glimpse
[03:34.49]That's all just one uh one little single glimpse
[03:36.42]
[03:38.24]Just a page
[03:39.15]
[03:41.28]But I guess I'm defeating the purpose of doing all this talking
[03:44.99]
[03:45.74]*******************
[03:48.41]Or was it winter-time ah nevermind
[03:51.12]I'm in my room booming
[03:52.87]Drawin' LL Cool J album covers with Crayolas on construction paper
[03:56.45]I'm trying to **** my neighbor I'm tryna hook my waves up
[03:59.30]I'm tryna pull my grades up to get them saddle lace ups
[04:01.89]Before lil' Marc was Jacob before them girls wore makeup
[04:04.02]Before my voice would break up before we'd tour them shake clubs
[04:07.47]Before my mama wake up before my palms would cake up
[04:10.21]Before they tell me they love me and we'll never break up
[04:12.98]Before the time she makes love to someone
[04:14.94]That I thought was my homeboy
[04:16.59]But boy was I wrong now
[04:17.89]I don't budge don't want much just a roof and a porch
[04:20.72]And a Porsche and a horse and unfortunately
[04:22.45]But of course an assor**ent of torches that scorches the skin
[04:26.15]When they enter
[04:27.46]Intruders whose tutors did a lousy job
[04:30.06]How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us
[04:32.35]That noose on us won't loosen up but loose enough to juice us up
[04:35.43]Make us think we do so much and do it big
[04:37.86]Like they don't let us win I can't pretend
[04:39.48]But I do admit it feel good when the hood pseudo-celebrate
[04:41.99]Hence why every time we dine we eat until our belly aches
[04:44.91]Then go grab the finest wine and drink it
[04:46.93]Like we know which grape and which region it came from
[04:49.28]As if we can name 'em hint hint it ain't um Welch's
[04:51.98]Hell just fell three thousand more degrees cooler
[04:54.67]Ya'll can't measure my worth
[04:55.84]
[04:58.61]Because the odds have always been stacked
[05:00.95]Against me when back's against the wall
[05:02.76]I feel right at home y'all sitting right at home
[05:05.31]All Kelly green with envy while I'm jelly beans descending
[05:07.40]Into the palm of a child looks up at mama and smile
[05:10.99]With such a devilish grin like "where the hell have you been"
[05:13.67]She yelling that selling's a sin well so is telling young men
[05:16.45]That selling is a sin if you don't offer new ways to win
[05:19.08]A dolphin gon shake his fin regardless if he gets in
[05:21.80]Or out of water most important thing for him is to swim
[05:24.62]And Flipper didn't hold his nose so why shall I hold my tongue
[05:27.65](I miss the days of old when one could hold his gal on his arm)
[05:30.60]And I set off these alarms when camera's snap snap snap snap
[05:33.00]Return fire pa-pa-pa pa pa-pa pa pa pa
[05:36.06]They'll learn why mere privacy so essential
[05:37.51]They won't make no laws I break their laws til they see out our window
[05:40.95]I take the fall to make them all treat human kind more gentle
[05:43.40]Forsake them all I hate them all don't like em don't pretend to
[05:46.39]Yea something tells me we ain't in Kansas anymore
[05:48.30]All that s*it that used to be cool ain't cool anymore
[05:52.01]All the women we were pursuing now they want more
[05:54.56]And they deserve it all don't settle for what ain't yours
[05:57.90]
[06:41.64]Does your mama know you see me does she know you're freaky
[06:44.29]Does she ever wonder if it's 'bout ya I am speaking
[06:46.98]Do you ever ponder where I'm at when you get sleepy
[06:49.90]How the hell I'm gonna tell the youth don't be me
[06:52.86]Yea
[06:53.11]
[07:03.84]Does your daddy think you perfect does he know for certain
[07:06.61]Does he know how you act when you pull back all them curtains
[07:09.28]Do he think I'm 2Pac cause I'm black and put the words in
[07:12.17]Does he know his daughter might have caught a real merman
