| I think about the days when there was no contract
|
| I used to hop the train cuz i had no dough
|
| Playing beats on the chairs and let the discards flow?
|
| Mom said everydays like this
|
| When the baby face asks can I get payed for this?
|
| But anyway, Im, by the time I was a toddler
|
| A kid that understood me was a …
|
| Back to … for the dues I paid
|
| The only one with out shoes in the whole 6th grade
|
| Staring out the window, broke like Mr. …
|
| And nobody knows the troubles that I went through
|
| My mama said lifes a double headed knife
|
| If you stab you get stabbed
|
| Cuz either your paid or you pay the price
|
| So people listen when I start to flow
|
| But im that same baby face from a while ago
|
| So yo, remember we, remember this, remember us son
|
| Paid in the shade…
|
| But would you be down if i wasnt on your guest list?
|
| Do you remember how it was when we were not who we are
|
| When people didnt think that we would get this far
|
| I never really thought about being a star
|
| But if you phat, you phat, so you are who ya are
|
| Back in the past, I used to be …
|
| But now whos the … kissing my…
|
| Girls never kissed me
|
| Always tried to diss me
|
| But now its like the whole world is hangin wit me
|
| But still I maintain my focus
|
| And watch where im headed
|
| Cuz truth must be spread and lies must get bedded
|
| So open your eyes, cuz were the same old guys
|
| But now i got more friends then world has flies
|
| And the I (eye) do not understand what is the reason for the treasonal behavior
|
| Save that nonsense for later
|
| It seems you have forgotten that the original being that your seeing
|
| Was not always MC’n
|
| I used to get rejected,
|
| Neglected and dejected,
|
| Disrespected,
|
| Treated like I was infected
|
| But straight from black-alack comes the acrobat
|
| And you were sayin i would never get phat, remember dat? |
