This is my Hall of Fame Induction Speech |
|
You're far too kind |
|
Check |
|
We went from quarter Juices |
|
from the corner to wine glasses |
|
We pass blunts thinking bout |
|
the past as the time passes |
|
I went from roaming hallways |
|
with a backpack trynna find classes |
|
To ducking off of girls that snuck |
|
backstage trynna find passes |
|
Went from Ripped shoes looking through |
|
hand-me-downs trying to find my look |
|
And now it's an overlook the water views |
|
thanks to my Rhyme book |
|
Thanks to my flows now you'll be more |
|
than good if you pay for my verses |
|
With punchlines you'll be K.O. |
|
backwards if you buy my hooks |
|
Okay you might not have got that |
|
That means O.K. as in doing O.K |
|
I mean who would have thought that |
|
That I'd be doing this from back in the old days |
|
I couldn't have bought that |
|
But I was sold a dream I ran away with |
|
it now look what I brought back |
|
I might have changed is what the niggas |
|
that I used to know say |
|
I've brought change is what the niggas |
|
that I call my bro's say |
|
That's all I hear, the family's all right here |
|
I swear, that's all I hear, Yeah |
|
For as long as I'm here, we all right here |
|
I think I'm getting wasted tonight |
|
I realised that I made it tonight |
|
You gotta hear just how I made it tonight |
|
Coz it's crazy how I made it |
|
And tonight is the night |
|
I think I've realised that I made it tonight |
|
Raise your glass, let's make a toast |
|

|

|
I just stayed up and write |
|
Chauffeur was waiting with a sign except |
|

|
The drive was scenic, the night was dark |
|
and the lobby was white |
|

|

|
He hit me back like check in |
|

|
Scoop me up in the ghost |
|

|
Bumping some old Jigga, |
|
The same song I think it played like twice |
|
Under the street lights in Miami |
|

|
With no hype, never dropped a song, |
|
I'm just saying I'm nice |
|
Trying to prove Scanty right, |
|

|
