Story of Me |
| Still here |
| Somehow |
| Man, it took me 15 years to understand my worth |
| It was 1988 when Marley planned my birth |
| Had to get my feet up out of the sand and surf |
| Never thought that my rap lines would span the earth |
| But they did, went to every corner of the globe |
| It’s time to reveal, since y’all really wanna probe |
| I went from Brownsville kid, gone to King’s County |
| To Queenstown, sitting in a sauna in a robe |
| And since then, never took a day off from the pen |
| I understood hard work would pay off in the end |
| Yeah for as long as my body is strong |
| I’mma give it all I got, try to body a song |
| I’mma give it all I got, try to rip that show |
| And yo, understand I got to get that dough |
| And so, cause I know how to spit that flow |
| Sold out three nights in a row, like Tic-Tac-Toe |
| In the fast lane, kick back slow, no need to rush |
| We royalty, bow down at the feet of us |
| The anticipation, it’s like |
| Standing on the corner in the cold and you can see the bus |
| It’s finally here, our arrival |
| Raised in the ghetto, singing songs called survival |
| We stand, united by the beat, man |
| Tight plan, right hand on the Bible |
| Try to let you know |
| Just want to let you see |
| The real is all I know |
| Real is what I be |
| Time is now for y’all |
| Now is now for me |
| Life is beautiful |
| This the story of me |
| Just try to make history |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Ain’t no mystery |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Know my history |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Can’t shake destiny |
| Just gotta make history, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| I almost had the nineties by the throat |
| I was just that close to getting money by the boatload |
| Instead of hoping what I wrote flowed |
| I could have said: «Whoop, there it is» |
| But it would have felt so wrong to do that song |
| Try to prove I belong in a crew that strong |
| Listen, understand, this is preordain |
| This is written by God then we all came |
| Could have signed with Def Jam but Lyor changed |
| Changed his mind at the strangest time |
| He was still destined to sign a dangerous mind |
| Another cat with the grind the same as mine |
| Another son born on the fourth would come |
| He was of course the one with that course to run |
| And like a ham sandwich on the softest bun |
| I refuse to eat it, I will not be defeated |
| Here to stay and get a lot completed |
| This what I got to offer, what I got is needed |
| Confident but I’m not conceited and I swear |
| The same mistakes I made will not be repeated |
| I choose to keep paying up dues |
| Life try to beat me up like scuffed shoes |
| It was hard, doctor called me off guard |
| Same place I was born, got the rough news |
| We rise, we fall and pray |
| For better days |
| Why shoot we for the stars |
| And prayed for better aim? |
| The world, the pain remained |
| It never change |
| Long as the sun will show |
| The cold is still the same |
| Just try to make history |
| Gotta make history |
| Ain’t no mystery |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Know my history |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Can’t shake destiny |
| Just gotta make history, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| We rise, we fall and pray |
| For better days |
| Why shoot we for the stars |
| And prayed for better aim? |
| The world, the pain remained |
| It never change |
| Long as the sun will show |
| The cold is still the same |
| Just try to make history |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Ain’t no mystery |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Know my history |
| Gotta make history (history) |
| Can’t shake destiny |
| Just gotta make history, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| The story of me, never would have knew me without it |
| And they won’t make a movie about it |
| I mean, I guess they could but truly I doubt it |
| Mad friends watching Ralph McDaniels, knew me and shout it |
| Oh snap, that’s Duval, he live in my building |
| Life in the PJ’s, living and building |
| Whether you in Seflo or living in Tilden |
| Trying to escape men, women and children |
| A product of the same and when I got into the game |
| Initially my moms was really shocked and ashamed |
| She was like: «Boy you got a Bachelor’s» |
| And I was like: «Why they call it a b. |
| s?» |
| Bullshit walks as far is what I was taught |
| Yet I ain’t had one job interview and she stressed |
| The story of me, born from the story of us |
| Studio bound, the story of us |
| My Honda’s in the shop, no warranty |
| I need a new regulator, no Warren G |
| But I’mma get by, do or die |
| And then I left URI |
| I looked around and then came the yellow tape |
| I decided to sit on chrome and accelerate |
| And after that, I knew they wanted me gone and singing a |
| Swan song but I decided to let 'em wait |
