Bedtime Story |
Nah, it’s time to go to. |
What happened? |
What, what? |
Ok, ok |
Aight, this is how it went down, here we go. |
We talkin' a few years before you even appeared |
I was into my little gear |
Yeah — weed and my beer |
Hustlin' out of fear, fear of bein' a square |
Like them cowards with no gear |
They just breathin' the air |
Son, clear, but didn’t realize life ain’t fair |
With one drive-by, it could end your life right there |
Though I’m a fly guy, from then, tied my Nikes, like chea |
Fuck the world we can fight right here, I don’t scare |
From beer, no more nightmares here, not a tear |
I was straighter than the white man’s hair |
Met Nasir, had that hype that year |
Like a kite, threw me a mic |
I took flight right there, chea |
Rap wise I was nice I swear |
Went fool with the jewels, even iced my ears |
New school, I was cool, wore righteous wears |
But from the door they didn’t like that there, I ain’t care |
As long as I left the china white right there |
And understood that you could change a life through prayer |
But it’s all good, police even politely stared |
It was unreal, but still now it feels slightly weird |
I was spared, gave love, taught my peers |
Though it was rough, never gave up, fought my fears |
Now it’s like «what?» |
I’m G’ed up, awesome glare |
Entertainer from the streets with a sportsman’s flair |
[Outro: AZ & |
There, that’s good enough for you? |
Listen man, don’t worry about that now, just go to sleep |
I’ll tell you that later on. |
but you know what? |
I got one more quick story to tell you |
Maybe you could take this story, and tell your friends at school this one: |
Heeeeere we go! |
Out the gate, he who hate — himself ain’t straight |
He a snake, he the type who send himself upstate |
Catch a case for a plate |
He ain’t have to take, he coulda |
Played it safe, said his grace and ate |
But it’s fate, when a person makes certain mistakes |
What a waste, how the world. |
