| When I was 21
|
| It was a very good year
|
| It was a very good year
|
| For city girls
|
| Who lived up the stair
|
| With all that perfumed hair
|
| And it came undone
|
| When I was 21
|
| It was all a dream just a year ago
|
| Bussin' tables and servin' food but y’all don’t hear it though
|
| Now I’m on another level but y’all aren’t near it though
|
| My soul bleedin' on the track, so spiritual
|
| It’s a blessing cause now rappin' is my profession yo
|
| Set to detonate, I’m just waitin' for my time to blow
|
| White boy at first glance but when I rhyme they know
|
| Race don’t mean a fucking thing the second that I flow
|
| It’s been a year and everything I said would happen has
|
| While everybody that I know was out havin' a blast
|
| I was right here in the studio bustin' my ass
|
| It’s been a year, I’m 21 but I feel (35)
|
| Yeah, and now I got this
|
| I taste the blood, no one can stop this
|
| Second I drop this, die hard fans is finna cop this
|
| While the rest of the world follows through fiber optics
|
| I took my time, see I studied the game, learned how to rhyme
|
| I was around drugs and gats, but never delved in crime
|
| Had other things in mind, so I began to grind
|
| First tape was a success
|
| Locally, I got press
|
| But I knew this one right here would run the world a mess, but I digress
|
| A year ago, I was a youngin in his room
|
| Staring out the window, lookin' at the moon, knowing it’s coming soon
|
| But today I board this rocket ship and sonic boom
|
| Cause I am no longer a seed, homie, it’s time to bloom |
