1970 Something nigga |
| [00:21.19] |
I don't sweat the date my moms was late, |
| [00:22.87] |
So I had to plan my escape, |
| [00:24.24] |
Out the skins, |
| [00:25.13] |
In this world the fly girls, |
| [00:26.80] |
Tangeray and hennesey, |
| [00:28.30] |
Untill I call earl, 10 months in this gut, |
| [00:31.23] |
What the f**k, |
| [00:32.13] |
I wish moms would hurry up, |
| [00:33.29] |
So I can get buck wild, |
| [00:34.49] |
Juvenile with the mics n shit, |
| [00:37.05] |
New York New York, |
| [00:37.87] |
Ready for the likes of this, |
| [00:39.15] |
Then came the worst date, |
| [00:40.73] |
May 21st 2:19 was |
| [00:43.17] |
When my moma water burst, |
| [00:44.28] |
No spouse in the house, |
| [00:45.33] |
So she rolled herself, |
| [00:46.41] |
To the hospital, |
| [00:47.20] |
To see if she could get a little help, |
| [00:49.38] |
Umbilical cords wrapped around my neck, |
| [00:51.64] |
Im seein' my death, |
| [00:52.56] |
And I ain't even took my first step, |
| [00:54.34] |
I made it out im bringin' mad joy, |
| [00:56.28] |
The doctor looked and said |
| [00:57.30] |
He's gonna be BAD BOY! |
| [00:58.97] |
I remmember back in time, |
| [01:00.65] |
|
| [01:01.25] |
Before all the homies died, |
| [01:03.12] |
|
| [01:03.74] |
Before all the dollars and nines, |
| [01:05.64] |
|
| [01:06.17] |
I knew that I was |
| [01:07.10] |
Goin' somewhere, |
| [01:08.76] |
Let me take you back in time, |
| [01:10.47] |
|
| [01:11.13] |
Before I even got the rhyme, |
| [01:13.01] |
|
| [01:13.68] |
Before I had nickels and |
| [01:15.00] |
Dimes, I knew that I was goin' somewhere, |
| [01:17.31] |
Would 'Pac be alive, |
| [01:18.13] |
If you let 'Pac drive? |
| [01:19.11] |
Swear to god to reverse it |
| [01:20.19] |
I give my left eye, |
| [01:21.37] |
With the right I visualized, |
| [01:22.59] |
The king of bed-stuy, |
| [01:23.80] |
Checkin his daughter tianna into junior high, |
| [01:26.39] |
If I was in brooklyn, |
| [01:27.61] |
And B.I. was still alive, |
| [01:28.81] |
In 2006 it might sound like this, |
| [01:31.13] |
N.Y. 718 212, where sue's rendevouz, |
| [01:34.65] |
Its like moulin rouge, |
| [01:35.98] |
High fashion, up town air force ones, |
| [01:38.77] |
And vasquez, puerto ricans with fat asses |
| [01:41.47] |
Lace dutch masters, we dump ashes, |
| [01:43.52] |
On models and S classes, |
| [01:44.87] |
For you bastards, |
| [01:45.94] |
Catch a cab to manhattan, |
| [01:47.13] |
With that broadway acting, |
| [01:48.52] |
U hype that belly shit, |
| [01:49.71] |
Would u get u capped, |
| [01:51.01] |
And wrapped in plastic, |
| [01:52.11] |
Tell the captain, ask Roge was happenning, |
| [01:53.44] |
Out here nor speak no evil, |
| [01:54.75] |
Inside the Magnum |
| [01:56.21] |
|
| [01:57.08] |
I remmember back in time, |
| [01:59.85] |
|
| [02:00.54] |
Before all the homies died, |
| [02:02.27] |
|
| [02:02.94] |
Before all the dollars and nines, |
| [02:04.74] |
|
| [02:05.35] |
I knew that I was |
| [02:06.25] |
Goin' somewhere, |
| [02:07.98] |
Let me take you back in time, |
| [02:09.74] |
|
| [02:11.05] |
Now I'm 13 smoking blunts, |
| [02:13.04] |
Making green, |
| [02:13.48] |
Or on the drug scene, |
| [02:14.95] |
F**k the football team, |
| [02:15.78] |
Risk it, ruptured spleens, |
| [02:16.98] |
By the age of 16, |
| [02:18.13] |
Hearin' the coach scream, |
| [02:19.41] |
Make my lifetime dream, |
| [02:20.17] |
I mean, I wanna blow up, |
| [02:22.01] |
Stack my doe up, |
| [02:23.02] |
So school I didn't show up, |
| [02:24.53] |
And f**k my flow up, |
| [02:25.72] |
Mom said that I should grow up, |
| [02:26.98] |
And check myself, |
| [02:28.11] |
Before I wreck myself, |
| [02:29.27] |
Disrespect myself, |
| [02:30.45] |
Put the drugs on the shelf, naww! |
| [02:32.41] |
I couldn't see it, |
| [02:33.19] |
Scarface king of New York, |
| [02:34.69] |
I wanna be it, |
| [02:35.57] |
Rap was secondary, |
| [02:36.77] |
Money was necessary, |
| [02:37.97] |
Until I got incarcerated, kinda scary, |
| [02:40.86] |
C74 mark 8, set me straight, |
| [02:43.08] |
Not able to move |
| [02:44.00] |
Behind a great steel gate, |
| [02:45.34] |
Time to contemplate |
| [02:46.45] |
Damn were did I fail |
| [02:47.78] |
All the money I stacked, |
| [02:48.96] |
Was all the money for bail, |
| [02:50.21] |
I remmember back in time, |
| [02:51.89] |
Before all the homies died, |
| [02:54.10] |
|
| [02:54.65] |
Before all the dollars and nines |
| [02:56.53] |
|
| [02:57.31] |
I knew that I was |
| [02:58.21] |
Goin' somewhere |
| [02:59.73] |
Let me take you back in time |
| [03:01.28] |
|
| [03:02.14] |
Before I even got the rhyme |
| [03:03.82] |
|
| [03:04.64] |
Before I had nickels and |
| [03:06.13] |
Dimes, I knew that |
| [03:07.65] |
I was goin' somewhere |
