| Gazing back my bad days I wouldn’t take em back
|
| Save that for y’all to critique when I fade to black
|
| I’m glad I never let doubts get the best of me cause
|
| They would be so many highlights I would never see
|
| I used to be so insecure slash immature
|
| Thru the years I learned you can’t make another man’s image yours
|
| Cause ya truth is like a signature it’s unique
|
| Cinema director and I’m living out my movie
|
| Edits and mad deleted scenes several script changes
|
| A bit a danger I’m a risk taker
|
| I do my own stunts, otherwise for me its no fun
|
| Shogun assassin might run up to a wall and do a back-flip
|
| I’m the hero and the actor ignore the camera
|
| Playing the main protagonists was told I was a natural
|
| Summer blockbuster parachuting off a crop duster
|
| Pay my dues and stay recluse like my pops mother
|
| This a story of a man who had a dream
|
| Ever since He read the source magazine
|
| Hanging pictures on my wall
|
| Bumping Wu-Tang Forever they would tell me «it's yours»
|
| Half a lung and asthma pump still wanted to get involved
|
| Smell of cigarettes my neighbors smoking in the hall
|
| Hustle in the spirit was stubborn and conflicted
|
| Weazing and outta breath, struggling to spit it
|
| But why is it I felt the most alive in that moment
|
| Poker face a pro at hiding pain put a mask on it
|
| Believed in what I had and I put some cash on it
|
| These rap dreams don’t come attached with a map on it
|
| You gotta work the locks yo pride gonna get hurt a lot
|
| Few taste-makers gonna decide who gets heard or not
|
| But fuck em, just build platform and be yourself
|
| The real can tell and you see for yourself
|
| That it’s ain’t what seemed from when you first look
|
| Respect the game my perspective changed and the earth shook
|
| And it’s looking even better than it did before
|
| I’m touching people I ain’t met and that worth living for
|
| This a story of a man who had a dream
|
| Ever since He read the source magazine
|
| Hanging pictures on my wall
|
| Bumping Wu-Tang Forever they would tell me «it's yours» |
