Bad ass kids playin’ in traffic,
Under the watchful surveillance of OG’s,
In a time
When sex couldn’t have been
Further from my mind.

As a youth,
Quis wouldn’t plead
For anything short
Of a cool breeze,
Across my young brow,

Summertime!
Niggas STAYED off da porch,
Melanin REALLY poppin’ now.

In da driveway @ Jonnie Crib
Fightin’ wit Q…
Over who get to be Jordan
When we lowered the hoop.
(BONE!)
…in some muhfuckin’ ProWings fool.

(HIGH)
How I got here.

Born & raised
In da same cage
that Mz. Angelou’s Bird sang.

I came up broke in da hood mayne,
Where Single Mother Blues
Was my every night Lullaby tune.

Fool’s gold (goal) On tha TV
lookin at Cliff & Claire’s kids...
A young brotha like me couldn’t relate.

My grandpops was a cop,
Real stand up guy…
But the OG’s on da block
Who really challenged my mind…HIGH.

Hol'up, hol'up, hol'up
lemme take a sip of my EXPENSIVE beverage.
I done came a long muhfuckin' way to be sippin'
round all these PEASANT muthafuckas...LISTEN

…if I talk my shit,King?
It’s gone smell like 6 months
Of no tooth brushin’
Or Listerine.

Let’s take it to ‘9-4
When E had cop’d tha DR-5,
Prolly the most important
point in my life.

Finally all the music I’d heard in head
All these years
Could actually fuckin’ exist…SHIT!

I was on that muthafucka like,
Every day, all night,
Aux cord making beats
in traffic wit Krug.

Ya'll really think I'm playin?
I for real had the DR5, hooked up to tha
muthafucking aux cord.
in traffic. Lettin' that beat drop, ya know what'm sayin?

On Hwy100 str8 ackin’ a fool,
Takin’ heauxs back to da crib
Like niggas ain’t have school.

My momma kicked me out
When I was just 16…
Soon as she found out I was f*ckin’
Wit Peach.

She prolly
woulda shot me
if she knew about Sarah
who was my first
and all da heauxs a nigga
smashed in between

That's right around tha time
I met J Curtis & Jynxx,
2 brothas from anotha
Who knew me betta than ME.
(((HIGH)))

I done came too far to not...
LOVE MYSELF

I done been thru too damn much to...
HATE ON SOMEONE ELSE
(8x's)
