[00:05.57]Yeah, yeah
[00:09.75]As I recall
[00:11.45]It's just another day living in the hood

[00:23.82]Then I yawned, stretched my legs
[00:25.01]Brushed my teeth then I lag off 'bout my day in my head
[00:27.55]Grabbed my shoes, ironed my shirt
[00:29.19]Got my jeans, hit the door

[00:39.05]Keep your nose clean, open your eyes, it smell of snakes
[00:41.74]Even though I'm vegan, I know the hood got hella stakes
[00:44.64]I said: "Watch yourself, watch yourself, watch your health
[00:47.43]Inspire yourself, rise up to your higher self
[00:49.96]If you get off track, baby, come back
[00:51.96]Remind yourself who you are

[01:20.98]And made history, no mystery, they asking now
[01:23.42]Uh, the wise, the greater

[02:25.01]Crazy and distant but maybe my wishes
[02:28.95]Could probably come true soon
[02:31.83]They said: "In one blue moon"
[02:33.49]But a ***** 'bout to cook, I hope you brung new spoons
[02:36.87]Juggernaut the way I jump through rooms
