[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]
