| Know the boy D-Double do it all day
|
| Get the messing with his tracks, no foreplay
|
| Seems simple now but it wasn’t always
|
| Used to sit up in the Pap High hallways
|
| Teacher put me there saying that I talk to much
|
| I thought I knew it all but I never knew much
|
| I come to school late because my form room sucked
|
| And we hang out by the canteen all through lunch
|
| Young teen with a pac (men)tality
|
| No dream I can make reality
|
| All I care about is popularity
|
| Trying to pass Jessica trying to get a touch
|
| And a Mufti day try them with some new Chucks
|
| Try them with some new Nikes or something
|
| They didn’t give a fuck about assignments or nothing
|
| Didn’t make music even though I loved it
|
| Scared to try, high to shy get busted (?)
|
| So I sit on the sideline
|
| Despite in my time
|
| If I could be in their shoes
|
| The things that id do
|
| But wishing won’t get you know where
|
| Dont be scared to go there
|
| If you sit in my wake
|
| Do it the right way
|
| (yeah ya)
|
| No I wasn’t in the first fifteen
|
| Wasn’t in the choir, Never learned to sing
|
| Couldn’t play an instrument or pluck a string
|
| Or the little rich kid whos dad bought him a car
|
| A regular dude fading in to the background
|
| Never took center stage, didn’t really stand out
|
| I remember school TalentQuest
|
| We would hang out see this other dude rap
|
| Then he’d be the man around E block
|
| For like the next two weeks, scoring all of the chicks
|
| While these Diggas my mom bought, are falling to bits
|
| And I’m off in detention, for ignoring Mr. Smitts
|
| And this bitch mocked me in class for having big lips
|
| It was a hard knock life for a kid
|
| Till I realized that a life isn’t lived
|
| If you’re worrying about what other people might think of it
|
| Don’t sleep on this little boy’s raps because he might be a hit
|
| Dont let it go by
|
| There ain’t no reason known why
|
| Youre waiting around
|
| You could be a star
|
| Just watch from a far
|
| Just stop waiting around
|
| School finished did a little bit of growing up
|
| But it wasn’t like music was blowin' up
|
| Shy as ever figured out I had to grow some nuts
|
| And put my self out there, so they know whats up
|
| And yeah I was pretty scared what they might say
|
| They FENZ at it and say its bad in a nice way
|
| Or I wasn’t doing it the right way
|
| But there ain’t no right or wrong
|
| Got one life to live and it ain’t that long
|
| So you gotta stay strong, gotta stay on
|
| Another day sittin', wishin is another day gone
|
| Another day doing dishes, or just mowing up the lawn
|
| Coludve been another day that another star was born
|
| Dont be scared man
|
| Dont worry too much about what people are going to say
|
| Because at the end of the day
|
| The only person who still thinks about that stuff is you
|
| Ya know? |
