| I’m just me, I can’t be different
|
| Though I may just change my mood
|
| I couldn’t eat always ramen noodles
|
| Which is why I show and prove
|
| It was meant to be, I’d do this writing
|
| Started earlier in school
|
| From that studio apartment
|
| Knew I’d always make it through
|
| I look back, you see that?
|
| That young cat wound tighter than a cable on a bridge
|
| Stolen cable at the crib
|
| Neighbors yelling at 7am
|
| No AC, let them flys get in
|
| Built ev’rthing off of this music
|
| So I ain’t gone pack it in
|
| In 01, it was just me my girl and nothing but ideas
|
| Put ideas to work and now I’m eating
|
| Getting fat
|
| Built up a team, we did our thing
|
| We do our thing
|
| The crew I bring is instrumental
|
| Bringing instrumentals like its nothing
|
| I’m pumping big beats
|
| Strong words
|
| Real life, I’m honest fam
|
| And we for real gone see who sticks around
|
| And who gon' ram
|
| Used to look up there now here I stand
|
| Right there on stage in a thousand jams
|
| This ain’t a race so why you running like a wanted man?
|
| Flying high
|
| We make our way
|
| Can’t stay still
|
| Climbing free
|
| No telling me
|
| Who stays real
|
| Running from the things we’ve done
|
| We make deals
|
| Flying high
|
| We make our way
|
| Can’t stay still
|
| Climbing free
|
| No telling me
|
| Who stays real
|
| Late night sessions taught me everything I know now
|
| Way bright lessons about the way it is
|
| Had great impressions, that’s just how I roll now
|
| Keep my head above the water tryna shake the squids
|
| I was a student watching
|
| Every winter steaming
|
| In the streets walking
|
| Looking a meaning
|
| In the basement plotting
|
| In the attic scheming
|
| Free styling fuming
|
| Was awake but dreaming
|
| Tougher than leather had been my tape
|
| Runs house was my escape
|
| I was young and dumb and I made mistakes
|
| But I won’t take em back
|
| What I was then made me this now
|
| Got me open, momma proud
|
| You’re hearing this then it’s too late
|
| You may not make if back
|
| Some stories will stay my own
|
| May change names and dates
|
| Some stories are best untold
|
| You leave them to lie
|
| Some stories you tell the world
|
| The drama that life takes
|
| Known to have a loud mouth
|
| Just that kind of guy
|
| Flying high
|
| We make our way
|
| Can’t stay still
|
| Climbing free
|
| No telling me
|
| Who stays real
|
| Running from the things we’ve done
|
| We make deals
|
| Flying high
|
| We make our way
|
| Can’t stay still |
