| Uhh, yeah
|
| Early on I knew I was a fan
|
| Hummed the ice cream truck beat holdin momma’s hand
|
| Told 'em to turn it up in the dollar van
|
| Nobody moonwalked better in they pajama pants
|
| I used to try to tap like Gregory Hines
|
| «Lean On Me"word for word, I knew every line
|
| My moms blast that Anita Baker
|
| No wonder I can bake it with a piece of paper
|
| Yeah, lookin back, daddy left bad
|
| It was cool though, music was my step-dad
|
| I was raised by Stevie Wonder
|
| Lionel Richie, Luther and all the Jackson brothers
|
| Used to close my eyes and see far away
|
| On harder days I would chop it up with Marvin Gaye
|
| It was just a matter of time
|
| I took a crack at a rhyme and worked this magic of mine
|
| So when I felt like doin wrong, you helped me get it right
|
| And when I felt like givin up, you gave me one more try
|
| And when I felt like it was over, you didn’t let me die
|
| No, you didn’t let me die; |
| music, you saved my life
|
| (So many different artists I get soul from) Yeah
|
| (Still I move to the beat of my own drum) Music, you saved my life
|
| (I'm an avenue and street away where Hov from) Ohhh
|
| (Rest in peace Biggie Smalls, baby baby!) Music, you saved my life
|
| Yo, uhh
|
| Rocked a wave cap and bumpin gangsta rap
|
| I grew up in an era where it was the thing to trap
|
| It was the world that I was always angry at
|
| A maniac full of rage with nowhere to aim it at
|
| We came up in the hood but everybody ain’t adapt
|
| My parents did the best they could, I do my best to pay 'em back
|
| I’ll pay 'em back first, let me take it back
|
| Wasn’t no fashion, just airbrushed shirts and faded slacks
|
| If you could do a lil' better you’d rock a Coogi sweater
|
| All we knew was the hustle, we never knew no better
|
| «Get it crunk"was the phrase, everyone could relate
|
| We thought it’d last forever, who’d knew we’d be just a phase?
|
| They labeled me a delinquent
|
| Wasn’t nothin that the teacher ever could teach me
|
| It’s a miracle I ain’t get caught in this street shit
|
| If it wasn’t for hip-hop, I wouldn’t be breathin
|
| Bands
|
| Somebody pinch me, this can’t be life
|
| All these big cameras and fancy lights
|
| Man, this must be a mistake (why?)
|
| Just yesterday my mother cuttin the cake
|
| On my 10th birthday she told me to make a wish
|
| Here I am now surrounded by all of this (all of this)
|
| Man, what a crazy life
|
| Music, you really saved my life
|
| You really saved my, life! |
