| I play drums on my kneecaps
|
| And freestyle to my feet taps
|
| Big L on TV — I wanna be that
|
| Mind blown — like: Man, did you just see that?
|
| And I did
|
| At 17 years old
|
| But I ain’t never smoke weed though
|
| And I ain’t never seen a shotgun
|
| Or try to escape from cops run
|
| Well, I lied to my Mom once
|
| And I stole a dollar from my Pops but
|
| I doubt that’s what rap fans did
|
| A middle-class fat kid in glasses
|
| Mom’s askin': Derek, what the hell’s wrong?
|
| I need a story to sell songs
|
| Wait, let me get this call son
|
| Then we can talk about your problems
|
| She said hello to the bad news
|
| Drop the phone on a Jordan’s shoes
|
| The cancer came back and it spread quick
|
| Three weeks later, she left
|
| Shit…
|
| I play drums on my kneecaps
|
| And freestyle to my feet taps
|
| Big Pun on TV — I wanna be that

|
| Pops on the sofa
|
| In front of Captain Morgan and Mosins
|
| His drinking used to be a joke but
|
| The liquor became his focus
|
| Drank from morning to no-sun
|
| Passed out — and the second he woke up
|
| He hit the liquor store before it open
|
| On the first name basis with the owner
|
| Drove the car home loaded
|
| Thank God the cops never pulled him over
|
| Or he never lost control of the Oldsmo
|
| And killed somebody, cause he wasn’t sober
|
| I told him — Dad, you better stop with that
|
| He laughed as he twisted off a bottle cap
|
| His liver had enough of the drinking
|
| Skin started turning yellow like the Simpsons
|
| They say he never was the same since Mom left
|
| The pain turned him into an alcoholic
|
| He drank cause he missed her
|
| Before I knew it, he was with her
|
| Shit…
|
| I play drums on my kneecaps
|
| And freestyle to my feet taps
|
