Yeah Paper chasin´ on occasion West Deer Park, that´s my location Life and death what we was facin´ Boy, gotta get that motivation
Back in the basement Look at my idols, I´m feelin´ adjacent Doin´ the shit that I wish I was doing, I´m feelin´ impatient Throwin´ parties and catchin´ cases That´s the life, but that shit basic Gaff cook crack, I can´t erase it If I could, would not replace it Grew up all alone Had to teach myself to tie my laces What´s the deal? I´m a plague of fear Rattpack we keep it real Nothin´ but love of the people that paid the way So a mother like me he can get it today Antwan, Erykah and 3K Can´t forget those ain´t here today R.I.P J D and Pimp C
Payin´ respect so don´t hold it against me Devil he callin´ me, he let it tent me God exempt me, why you sent me here? What I think about yearly yeah What I´ve been through these people only see through a peep hole yeah Not a single one got an idea So I write it down on this page Feel like I´m 35 times my age Look in the mirror don´t know what to say But I´m happy the man I is
Yeah, yeah I said I´m happy the man I is And I´m proud of the man I´ve become I´m proud that I´m from a slum I never got cold, I never got numb Except from the winter time and then some
I transcend and I transform Poetic vision in real form Growing up nobody there for him I promise when I have a family I´ma be there for him I love hip-hop Hate a motherfucker gold kick rock No matter what happen I never gon´ stop Like Cole said if they don´t know yo dreams Then they can´t shoot ´em down But I´ma let the world know ´Cause I´m too high up to hit the ground This shit right here is like therapy, spittin´ airily I ain´t perfect, I got problems, I got issues like people magazine Shoot from the hip and reload the magazine I wish I could just go on forever, forever, ever and ever
But this rhyme Ill as it is divine Be gon´ cut short today ´cause I´m out of studio time Only thought I was recording these horns and not no rhyme What can I say? Inspiration hits at anytime So I guess I´ll have to conclude all my thoughts another time Another rhyme Another, ano i- wo-a rhyme
