Yeah You know that shit rock Hey That´s the Cole hey from back in the day Hey yeah
Just a youngin´ with a dream Tryna get this money, yeah I´m tryin´ get this cream Not a lot know what I´m like for this rap shit I´m a fiend Not one to talk about poppin´ pills and sippin´ lean Just a passin´ for pussy I´m tryin´ to get up in the spleen This is my mentality rappin´ at nineteen Back in Maryland just tryin´ to break out on the scene Buyin´ fake chains at the mall so girls be like "oh he clean" Day dreams that my life is like a movie scene Sippin´ liquor puffin´ green so obsene Riddin´ ´round the city with my homies in a gat
We was lookin´ for trouble now where´s it at Paint the picture like Picasso, matter fact like Sam Spratt Even younger I was trippin´ skippin´ school writin´ raps Never on the road but on the roll like them craps Check the facts Endless rhyme books in my back pack Like that uh I guess I acted out from lack of a father figure Go bigger performin´ at open mics wishin´ I could go bigger I was never in it for the money like a gold digger Every time my daddy call me he be like "ayo nigga, where the money at" Yeah that´s what he say, little boy you know you know I saw you on a PJ
When you gon´ fly me out, when you gon´ smoke me out Always throw the mans out, mother fuck a hand out All I ever wanted was a daddy But that man priority was huggin´ with a fatty But I´m glad he did, that´s what made me who I am Yeah I´m the man I always wish he would´ve been Never started smokin´ crack just imagin´ what could of been, damn Always felt like somethin´ it missin´ Wish we could have played catch, had talks, and went fishin´ But had no one there to listen I feel like my life mission is to be the best dad when the time comes For my daughter and my son when the time come Teach them ´bout their heritage and where they come from
Teach them ´bout their family history and then some
I´ve been on the grind tryin´ find my way People come and go but I´ma be the one to stay People tell me I should let my light get away Heaven knows that I´m gonna make it one day I´ve been on the grind tryin´ find my way People come and go but I´ma be the one to stay People tell me I should let my light get away Heaven knows that I´m gonna make it one day
Yeah, yeah Bobby don´t do it to ´em You´re beautiful and you don´t gotta prove it to ´em Come on come on Bobby you ain´t shit though Why your personality be split though
One minute it´s PLP, the next that shit be slit throats Devil and an angel on my shoulder that´s my conscious Greatest rapper alive but never actin´ Pontius Keep yourself in check like a dollar amount You ain´t better than nobody based on your dollar amount Yeah you´ve grown accustomed to the lifestyle but you´re never boujee Now you never brand new, no it´s never who´s he See I hate when I get recognized And while the fan is hypnotized I´m approached by random guys who feel the need to emphasize I don´t know who you are I reply "I´m a gentlemen and a fuckin´ rap star" Put your lighters in the sky if you got ´em
This for anybody that feel like they at the bottom Nobody to tell ´em they special you know I got ´em Nobody there to tell them they love them well I got ´em No matter where you go you gotta persevere Ain´t no fuckin´ around, and no makin´ a sound you just got a murder to fear Yeah I´ve been thinkin´ about it tryin´ to get out of it Fuck what I´m thinkin´ it´s time to break out of it Found myself in the thick and the debit of it Had a bit and I knew murder son And I murder again mother fuckin´ critic I´m livin´ my life
