[00:02.09] | Yeah |
[00:04.24] | You remember back in the days when niggas used to rock waves and shit? |
[00:09.68] | When like... Yo, I had the fucking 360s, my nigga |
[00:15.44] | Like, nobody in the hood was fucking with my shit |
[00:18.02] | And that's real shit |
[00:21.30] | Since 9-5, momma been working nine-five |
[00:24.66] | And I know the landlord fed up with our lies |
[00:26.92] | So we pray to the Gods, the Jahs, and the Allahs |
[00:30.35] | To keep us safe and watch our lives |
[00:32.44] | Cause all we tryna do is do good |
[00:34.55] | Put on my hood when I walk through hoods |
[00:37.13] | Cause these niggas these days is loco |
[00:40.15] | You'll get it in ya vocals if you ain't a local |
[00:43.03] | Yeah, that's why I'm tryna go global |
[00:45.88] | Yeah, that's why I'm tryna be a mogul |
[00:48.22] | And I’m hopeful that me spittin it soulful will have me in the Daily Postal |
[00:51.50] | Flying coastal eatin tofu |
[00:53.21] | Like I told you I know niggas who trash rappin |
[00:55.75] | Worried bout the trendin fashions rather than ascendin' passion |
[00:58.65] | They want me send em tracks but I just send em laughter |
[01:01.65] | Right after I start laughin, they start askin “what happened?" |
[01:04.44] | But back to the chapter |
[01:06.08] | Momma told me follow dreams, should never have to ask her, to |
[01:09.02] | So that’s what I do, became an MC master |
[01:11.80] | Since then it’s been a disaster for you and your favorite rapper |
[01:14.96] | Go ahead ask em "Who is Joey Bad?" |
[01:17.26] | Watch em gasp, asthma, damn it’s so sad |
[01:19.80] | He paused the chatter cause he know he rather back up |
[01:22.75] | Than to admit the kid is hotter than magma |
[01:25.38] | But fuck it, you gotta give credit where it's due |
[01:27.70] | Cause you ain't gon' like the karma when it's set up on you |
[01:30.38] | It can get you on your medical, fuck you up in the decimals |
[01:33.25] | Or get you 2 to 3 for residue found it your retinue |
[01:36.08] | And they told me not to be so complex |
[01:38.52] | Dumb it down to accomplish articles in Complex |
[01:41.47] | And The Source, alfredo of course |
[01:43.86] | There I go again, steppin out of line, runnin' off course |
[01:46.56] | I heard reports that it's like sexual intercourse |
[01:49.04] | With your thoughts when I talk about the shoes in which I walk |
[01:51.85] | For it is not faux, nor false that this kid from the north, speaks with forced supports of reinforced assaults |
[01:56.66] | I'm sure by now you can assume he never lost |
[01:59.64] | Unless with some form of divorce, or a corpse |
[02:02.80] | Born boss no days off, child labor |
[02:05.27] | Let me see those in favor to spin that back like tornadoes |
[02:08.12][Interlude: 2Pac Speaking] | |
[02:08.74] | What the rap audience ain't ready for is a real person: |
[02:14.38] | You know what I wanna say: a real N-I-G-G-A. |
[02:16.25] | I'm coming at 'em a hundred percent real; I ain't compromising Nathan. |
[02:19.44] | Anybody that talk about me, got problems, you know what I'm sayin'? |
[02:22.62] | It's gonna be straight-up, like if I was a street person. |
[02:24.55] | That's how I'm comin' at the whole world, and I'm being real about it |
[02:26.87] | and I'mma grow with my music |
[02:29.19] | But it's far from over |
[02:31.79] | Won't stop 'til I meet Hova and my momma's in a Rover |
[02:34.44] | Til I'm an owner of the world's finest motors |
[02:37.24] | I blow like supernovas in your daughter's room on a poster |
[02:39.96] | Known as history's biggest musical composer |
[02:42.38] | No disrespect to Bob Mar, but yeah, another stoner |
[02:45.37] | Marijuana my odor, and when I get older |
[02:47.64] | Hope my spermatozoa from my scrotum intercepts an ovum |
[02:50.42] | Like 3 times, have 3 kids, I hope |
[02:52.69] | Me & wife can show em not to make the same mistakes you know that we did |
[02:55.96] | I hope they acknowledge the knowledge cuz yeah, they 'gon need it |
[02:58.41] | Cuz when my parents tried to tell me, I just wouldn't receive it |
[03:01.14] | Couldn't believe it, 'til I saw with my own pupils |
[03:03.70] | Felt bad when I learned that their advice was truly useful |
[03:06.53] | But fuck it, only made us as human beings more mutual |
[03:09.35] | Even though over time, my punishments they grew more crucial |
[03:12.20] | Should use the word brutal, cuz my parents mad strict |
[03:14.49] | Hope one day I'll attract the likes of even Madlib |
[03:17.18] | Go gold on mad shit and hear my songs mastered |
[03:19.95] | Until then, all I can do is imagine |
[03:23.76] | Imagine |
[03:25.70] | I'mma make it all happen |
[03:28.41] |
[00:02.09] | Yeah |
