| [00:41.72] |
Never listen to adults |
| [00:43.28] |
I turned up the volume on my speakers |
| [00:45.34] |
All I spend money on is alcohal and sneakers |
| [00:47.94] |
Hella MaryJane, I got bundles of reefer |
| [00:50.54] |
I slept through class, never listened to my teachers |
| [00:53.73] |
Cuz I ain't really feel what they was teachin' |
| [00:55.72] |
Allways had dreams but they said I'd never reach 'em |
| [00:58.33] |
Skipped to the back, I ain't turn one page |
| [01:00.94] |
Trying to tell you how to live at a young age |
| [01:03.52] |
If you don't go to school you'll make a dumb wage |
| [01:06.50] |
It's a fucked up system, but it's never going to change |
| [01:08.63] |
I channel through my bars all the struggling, the pain |
| [01:11.40] |
Cuz I know my destiny is not to die with no name |
| [01:13.91] |
So what you got a doctorate, I built my own fame |
| [01:16.29] |
You in denial on the side like some chicken lo-mein |
| [01:19.10] |
I'm kicking propane when I enter the lab |
| [01:21.74] |
And Ninja Turtle swag, no Splinter of that |
| [01:24.32] |
I've spent on my dreams, but you've spent on a fag |
| [01:26.76] |
Cuz it's ill shit when I put the pen to the pad |
| [01:30.36] |
Chill son they already know this |
| [01:32.56] |
But it took them four years just to notice |
| [01:35.23] |
Irregaurdless I'm focused |
| [01:36.77] |
I just wanna say some ill shit |
| [01:38.30] |
So when I die they'll quote this |
| [01:40.35] |
And maybe then I'll get the props I deserve |
| [01:42.54] |
I know what I'm looking for it's right around the curb |
| [01:45.20] |
But can't seem to grab it I'm searching for the nerve |
| [01:47.58] |
Where the road to my riches and my dreams come to merge |
| [01:50.84] |
Where my lifestyle matches my words |
| [01:52.96] |
And trips to the sneaker shop are allways a splerge |
| [01:55.96] |
I'm getting there young, getting to a verge |
| [01:58.00] |
Of a breakthrough year where my success will emerge |
| [02:01.22] |
I made it here on my own, what can you say? |
| [02:03.80] |
My everyday life is marti gra tuesday |
| [02:06.63] |
Dray phones on listening to Lupe |
| [02:08.71] |
I'm knowing I should say more but I feel it's too late |
| [02:11.71] |
Record labels want bubble gum hits |
| [02:13.92] |
A groupie fan base filled with bubble gum chicks |
| [02:16.51] |
But when you're upstream up the struggle comes quick |
| [02:18.89] |
You're in a sea full of misery and trouble runs thick |
| [02:22.38] |
I'm not the one everyone thinks I am Brady in the six |
| [02:25.43] |
Not the number one pick |
| [02:27.57] |
I'm no music industry experiment |
| [02:29.63] |
This is my carreer I'm in the driver's seat steering it |
| [02:32.44] |
And there's some pressure on my shoulder's and I'm feeling it |
| [02:34.66] |
But some worth a sweat one five and I'm peeling it |
| [02:37.69] |
The word won deals done now I'm sealing it |
| [02:39.91] |
The infrastructure's blue printed now I'm out building it |
| [02:42.93] |
From the ground up, I still got a ways a go |
| [02:45.55] |
I fucked the game raw yo plus fillachio |
| [02:48.12] |
Then I flipped her something like a cart wheel |
| [02:50.78] |
I'm authentic, can't make it if you aren't real |
| [02:52.94] |
I want to be remembered so I grind like a barrel |
| [02:56.10] |
Cuz my songs will beat longer than my heart will |
