[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
