| I used to think that I was hard
|
| The kind of kid you don’t wanna mess wit'
|
| I’ll fight you and your bodyguard
|
| I was illeterate, we’re talkin' gibberish
|
| But never considerate of the way I treated friends
|
| I would fight ten kids and I would fly all heads
|
| I would even fight dragons 'til they’d be dead
|
| I would presidents and the mayor, you bet
|
| But it’s just too bad because I ain’t fought yet
|
| You see, I took a slug at no one
|
| But if I ever did, I’ll have to show one
|
| That I was like, able to wreck it I thought I knew but I didn’t know
|
| That all the talk in the world doesn’t make you a pro
|
| And so, 'cause my first real fight in the hood
|
| I would bash a skull, if I could
|
| But that’s when these kids wrecked my world, swept my feet up Straight got illed and I was nearly killed
|
| It never crossed my mind
|
| I could go ten different places at one time (all at one time)
|
| I could jump through my ears and walk through my mind (walk through my mind)
|
| I never thought that it could happen to you
|
| I never thought that it could happen to me But then it happend, see
|
| Coolin' out, chillin' with my homeboy Paul
|
| Now we was chillin', talkin' to ladies up inside of the mall
|
| I got a few numbers and some girl’s address
|
| So I was feelin' kinda fly and I was dressed real fresh
|
| We was coolin' as if we didn’t care
|
| He was too busy talkin', and so he wasn’t aware
|
| That’s when he caught a slug to his chest
|
| A hole in his vest, worst of all he made a mess all over the carpet
|
| Started to tumble all over the place
|
| 'Cause a bullet has no name, it sees no face
|
| Anyways, this girl pulled a trigger on us She was tryin' to kill the man who’s next to the man
|
| Who’s next to the man… what?
|
| And that’s all he gots to give
|
| He’s ready to die, but I’m hopin' he lives
|
| It never crossed his mind
|
| For my groupies, why must you do me?
|
| You never knew me, so what makes you hot for me?
|
| Is it fortune and fame just because of my name
|
| You wanna tell your friends that you did it Skee
|
| See, we can’t be, because there is no us
|
| You and I won’t happen, so don’t make no fuss
|
| Now we could persist with a hug and a kiss
|
| But I can’t help but wonder «who's daughter is this?»
|
| I’m glad you respect me, now let me respect you
|
| If I was a dog, then I might want you
|
| But if you want it that bad, then baby, don’t get mad
|
| Because you’re welcome to share with the rest of my crew
|
| Now that’s on you
|
| I know you fellas who ain’t wit' it You’re thinkin' «like, dang Skee, why don’t you hit it? |
| do that, yeah!»
|
| But you better think again
|
| Next groupie could be your girlfriend
|
| Just in case it never crossed your mind
|
| You never what could happen
|
| Everyday situations
|
| It could happen you’re going to the store
|
| Somebody drop a house on you and steal yo' slippers
|
| Who knows?
|
| Never crossed your mind |
