[00:22.500]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[00:25.600]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[00:28.290]But now it's all grey hairs
[00:30.100]It's all grey hairs
[00:31.360]It's all grey hairs
[00:32.710]It's all grey
[00:33.870]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[00:37.010]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[00:39.620]But now it's all grey hairs
[00:41.260]It's all grey hairs
[00:42.640]It's all grey hairs
[00:44.090]It's all grey
[00:45.960]I pop bottles and read the good book
[00:48.350]Skipped college man
[00:49.550]Watched Top Models
[00:50.830]Cause soon they'll be hollering
[00:52.410]We made travels like Gulliver
[00:54.380]Used to be kings like Solomon
[00:56.600]Then became slaves like Tubman and then
[00:59.070]Government wanna us see us running like Harriet
[01:01.340]To avoid the establishment
[01:03.120]Of prison cell blocks
[01:04.580]Little shorties come out of the womb
[01:06.140]Ready to sell rocks
[01:07.250]Rock charms Jesus Christ pendant covered in ice
[01:10.170]I guess my only advice
[01:11.600]Is watch jewels gems come with a price
[01:13.850]It's such an identity crisis
[01:16.180]How we can cop new bank gear
[01:18.320]Not care what the price is
[01:20.150]Jesus hang from a cross and now
[01:22.060]He hang from your neck
[01:23.190]Still no respect don't know who Christ is
[01:25.870]We are living in times of the most critical kind
[01:28.630]Grey hairs got visible lines
[01:30.900]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[01:33.910]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[01:36.560]But now it's all grey hairs
[01:38.100]It's all grey hairs
[01:39.650]It's all grey hairs
[01:41.140]It's all grey
[01:42.260]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[01:45.320]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[01:47.950]But now it's all grey hairs
[01:49.560]It's all grey hairs
[01:51.000]It's all grey hairs
[01:52.470]It's all grey
[01:54.490]Can you sense it that hopes is missing
[01:56.670]That the focus isn't there any longer children
[01:59.490]Being raised by a new age
[02:01.100]Given a new craze
[02:02.210]They listen to the beat and nod
[02:04.470]Disregard thoughts written
[02:05.760]They walking dead around us pimping
[02:08.100]And our mission is no longer to reach within em
[02:11.070]Our mission should be now to decrease the tension
[02:13.770]But instead we just give in to nature
[02:16.080]Label haters
[02:16.920]Cause we don't let the radios make us different
[02:19.460]Getting grey hairs from all of that anger building
[02:22.260]I'd be lying if I said I ain't aging and sensing
[02:25.410]A bit of change in my ageless wisdom
[02:27.350]What are we to do now
[02:28.800]For the patient victims
[02:30.130]Who just wish music would return to its senses
[02:33.110]That we at some point would respect our mission
[02:35.950]And give back to rap the greatest invention
[02:39.100]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[02:42.240]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[02:44.850]But now it's all grey hairs
[02:46.540]It's all grey hairs
[02:47.950]It's all grey hairs
[02:49.440]It's all grey
[02:50.530]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[02:53.630]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[02:56.240]But now it's all grey hairs
[02:57.840]It's all grey hairs
[02:59.260]It's all grey hairs
[03:00.750]It's all grey
[03:02.180]Hip-hop influences raised me
[03:04.490]Say for instance Jay Z said the Streets Is Watching
[03:07.050]So I kept on driving head bobbing crazy
[03:10.020]Older couple in the next car upset
[03:12.580]They couldn't make me
[03:13.820]Turn the volume down my volume up
[03:16.240]And I'm a ride around town
[03:18.020]Blast that volume what
[03:19.100]But these days these kids really don't give f**k
[03:21.970]Listening to Dip Set now they sticking you up
[03:24.870]Take everyone rhyme literal
[03:26.840]They more criminal
[03:28.170]It's more reality to kill for a buck
[03:30.550]But how can I judge
[03:31.860]When it's a part of the beautiful music I love
[03:34.590]They iPods full of G-Unit the best thug
[03:37.490]Next up everybody in the cipher rhyming
[03:40.720]Out to get rich and die trying
[03:42.700]Dark clouds keep us out of the grey
[03:44.720]The sun rising looking better today
[03:46.700]So I say
[03:47.500]I wanted to rock them three stripes Timbs and Nikes
[03:50.580]Momma told me when I'm older I'll experience life
[03:53.200]But now it's all grey hairs
