[00:13.39]	Yeah, these cats still don't get it, know what I'm saying? Tell em like this.
[00:21.35]	Lights out, it's over, can't push this boulder
[00:23.96]	Jaded and faded is this concrete soldier
[00:26.62]	Rhymes getting deeper now as I get older
[00:29.80]	And fate is the weight bearing down on my shoulders
[00:32.15]	Everyday I ponder life and time
[00:34.44]	Amazed how fast the movie passes by
[00:36.87]	It was like yesterday when I was on my block
[00:38.90]	With my boys on the corner trying to beatbox
[00:42.24]	It was like last week when I got my new bike
[00:44.72]	Jumping hills on my dead end until we lost sunlight
[00:47.63]	See I knew I'd be special in life
[00:49.73]	Cause I'm a father to sons, husband to a wife
[00:52.49]	But my passion still be the beats and mics
[00:54.83]	See I'm in college on the weekend, the studio at night
[00:57.59]	Writing on breaks, jotting down my mistakes
[01:00.24]	Successes and all else that takes place
[01:02.93]
[01:04.90]	This world gives you nothing for nothing
[01:07.51]	Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[01:08.56]	When it comes down it goes around
[01:10.94]	It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[01:12.58]
[01:13.93]	But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[01:16.28]	Going on seek my page
[01:18.31]	Reminisce on days past
[01:21.17]	Holding on but it just won't last
[01:22.90]
[01:24.13]	This world gives you nothing for nothing
[01:26.01]	Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[01:28.53]	When it comes down it goes around
[01:31.12]	It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[01:32.68]
[01:34.22]	But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[01:36.94]	Going on seek my page
[01:38.84]	Reminisce on days past
[01:41.40]	Holding on but it just won't last
[01:44.14]	Yo not much dough but this cat still flows
[01:46.55]	Been down and out and spent some time in the last row
[01:49.12]	Persistence, it be my middle name
[01:51.99]	No shame in my game in the pursuit of fame
[01:54.54]	You take shorts? You end up short
[01:56.56]	So recognise ain't no lies when you look into my eyes
[01:59.48]	Dressed proper, well-schooled like a doctor
[02:02.04]	Golden-aged hip hopper, nine-to-five show stopper
[02:04.64]	Grown-ass man doing what he can
[02:07.26]	Dreams shattered by years working for the man
[02:09.79]	Been knocked down but always got up
[02:12.41]	Been myself but still got labelled like a product
[02:14.92]	Most stay down until you hit a cliff
[02:17.58]	Some rich people still think life's a *****
[02:20.12]	Get busy dying or work on how you live
[02:22.68]	See life through my kids, stay doing it ya dig
[02:24.06]
[02:25.35]	This world gives you nothing for nothing
[02:27.88]	Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[02:30.44]	When it comes down it goes around
[02:33.02]	It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[02:35.44]
[02:36.18]	But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[02:38.88]	Going on seek my page
[02:40.85]	Reminisce on days past
[02:43.34]	Holding on but it just won't last
[02:45.19]	This world gives you nothing for nothing
[02:48.51]	Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[02:51.04]	When it comes down it goes around
[02:54.03]	It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[02:56.31]	But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[02:59.53]	Going on seek my page
[03:01.44]	Reminisce on days past
[03:04.01]	Holding on but it just won't last
[03:05.96]
[03:06.77]	The saga seen back and wait for it had happen
[03:09.20]	And when I look over it seems like everybody's laughing
[03:12.16]	Remember high school when people asked where you see yourself in five years?
[03:15.02]	Your type of career? A doctor, a lawyer, maybe a cop
[03:19.62]	A CEO if you're the type to try to make it to the top
[03:22.07]	Work for the state and not go to college
[03:24.74]	And try to get by on this real world knowledge
[03:27.14]	Join the army to pay for school
[03:29.66]	But see anything that you avoid just ain't cool
[03:32.25]	Now it's CL baby and everything is gravy CL：
[03:35.34]	Been around for a minute now you can't phase me
[03:37.62]	Life is love so love your life
[03:40.07]	Once a lifetime doesn't happen twice
[03:42.66]	Live today because today we live
[03:45.25]	Live to love and love how you live
[03:45.94]
[03:48.25]	This world gives you nothing for nothing
[03:50.41]	Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[03:53.08]	When it comes down it goes around
[03:55.53]	It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[03:57.98]
[03:58.83]	But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[04:00.80]	Going on seek my page
[04:03.29]	Reminisce on days past
