Bull rhythm |
Raw livin' |
Came up hard with no pot I could piss in |
Came up smart with no pot in my system |
At the beginning, then I went in |
I asked moms about pops, why he missin' |
I asked about the crack viles in the kitchen |
Before I knew being an addict was addiction |
Then it kicked in, then I pitched in |
That was when the classmates used to diss then |
What happened to your eye? |
They never listened |
They never wanted to know in the instance |
You wake up out of your sleep half of your vision |
Nigga I just couldn’t see shit |
Used to feel like I was never gon' be shit |
Patch on my eye, I couldn’t be Rick |
You wanna hear T-Pain can you believe it? |
My outlet was the music |
Was either that or hoop dreams was the cool shit |
I remember video music Box was the for new shit |
Reading the back of the flap to see who produced it |
Used to write raps on scraps like I could do this |
We used to scrap those raps like, «Are you foolish?» |
You ever heard of Rakim, Kane, Cool Chip? |
Well maybe not the last, them other two… shit |
You better find you a gig |
You never gon' make it happen how they rappin' my nig |
That was fuel to the fire that they light in the kid |
That’s why I chose to inspire and enlighten the kids |
I was moved even higher by the writing of B.I.G |
Before that was Illmatic every night in the crib |
Tribe Called Quest, the Gang Starr, too many to list |
So when I get to work with Preme man it’s really a gift |
When I get to work with Pete man it’s really the shit |
And new legends, 9th Wonder, Khrysis, and Fatin |
And everybody on the album that decided to pitch in |
Marco you my brother till they bury my skin |
Large Pro you a legend, don’t know where to begin |
Buckwild, Diamond, Diggin' In The Crates to the end |
And my nigga Eric G., you remembering when |
You first hit me on Myspace, tryin' to be friends? |
Told you, you was the truth way back then |
Want 7 for the soul, now salute that man |
It’s an army over here, y’all recruit that man |
Come up on a ill sample go and loop that man |
Really been the issues and journey since it began |
Couldn’t tell you where I’m headed, how to get there fam |
But if you in it for the ride put your seat back then |
Ayo 'Tin put the beat back in |
