Don´t do no business until you check his (paperwork)
And if all else fails, I just hope that this (paperwork)

(?) through the roof
Everything got a cost, they gone need something on you

ATL, Westside, that´s the only home I know
In ´85, me and Uncle Quint used to ride around in the big Bronco
Took me up to (?) disco, daytime, set me down at the bar
Where I drank Shirley Temple ´til he walked out with a bag and we got back in the car
What you wanna be he ask? When you grow up big kid?
I just wanna be like you, ridin´ round town gettin´ bread
We shot a couple Lac, couple summer pass, Uncle quint ain´t nowhere to be found

Later we learn that someone ratted him out, for that reason 10 years he won´t be around

[TI]
Picture me in ´93, I´m the only man I see
Fresh up off the porch looking for the drop Porsche and the fake ID

Introduce me to the crack game, rap game was the furthest from my mind
Had a notebook full of rhymes and a pocket full of crack rock dimes

[TI]
Time on my side, lift .45 in my jean
Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams, yessir

[TI]
Welfare, food stamps, section eight, me and Ma lived in the trap
I said fuck school, it holdin´ me back
I wanna bankroll, chasin´ after that

[TI]
Look at me at 17, livin´ on my own, peddlin´ quarter key
Now and then sellin´ weed, tokin´ too, cost my first felony
That´s (?) follow, drinkin´ Henney up out the bottle
Told a child I think I´m bein´ followed
Family don´t think I´ll live to see tomorrow

Pay to have a story like mine
Not many you had a little nine
Not many and you did a little dirt
Too many did a little time
Wake up, 10 years of your life pass when you get your cake up
Don´t it seem like (?) when the Feds on your ass
Passin´ out

[Pharrell]
If you think that you high, baby look above you
It´s drones in the sky, there´s nothing you could do
So left, two, three snap
Right two, three snap
Don´t (?) it´s too late for that
Cause they got

[TI]
Time on my side, lift .45 in my jean
Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams, yessir
