[Samples] " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " (Starin' at the world through my rearview) ("Somebody in the house say YEAH!") " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " (Starin' at the world through my rearview) ("tick tock ya don't stop") " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " (Got me starin' at the world through my rearview) ("Somebody in the house say YEAH!") " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " "tick tock ya don't stop" [Verse 1] Nobody thought I'd make it, the world called me loser Just a high school dropout, young drug abuser Mama told me there'd be days like this, I never listened Spent my childhood years; in my neighborhood prison The world don't give a f** about the kids I can see from the poverty and the evil sh** they did To my young nation Participation, more hesitation could turn lethal When ain't no love for a young n***a he turned evil And burn people with no hope, there's no peace To all my n***as start regulatin' on your streets Bustin' the neighborhood scatters, another drug war There ain't no truce or negotiatin' with drug lords Tried conversatin' but he won't listen He said the world is a livin' hell for God's children Picture him still in a Pen', doin' life plus two While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview [Samples] " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " (Starin' at the world through my rearview) ("Somebody in the house say YEAH!") " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " (Starin' at the world through my rearview) ("tick tock ya don't stop") [Verse 2] It's clearer now, cause I'm a noted individual Plus I'm a Don, not just a small time criminal Time's have changed, homies died, only lives remain Ma**ive amounts of narcotics help me hide the pain Wishin' on Benz, came up on a Jag Then got it out for the quiet times, reflect on the past All my homeboys that didn't make it, for you I'll do it 'member back in the days as young truants HUH! tellin' me to beware Because you cared and helped me to be prepared Cemetery full of homies no longer here But what about the babies, lost in watchin' burglars Too dumb to be a dealer, too young to be a murderer I'm beggin' you God, don't make their lives too hard They're already scarred, too doped up to see the stars We're livin' to die, everybody is high, plus I'm high too Starin' at the world through my rearview HUH! [Samples] " I grabbed the mic and try to say, "yes, y'all" " (Got me starin' at the world through my rearview) ("Somebody in the house say YEAH!")

[Verse 3] Pictures are plenty, handlin' semi, sippin' Henny I hustle for pennies, know my own feared by many I watched and took notes as a child I strategized Witnessin' crack dealings and drug k**ings have scattered lives n***as don't know me but they think That we could be closer than homies n***a you're phony so quit buyin' drinks Mind on my money, you're funny, you're about my currency n***as don't wanna see me Shootin', but they ain't worry me, livin' to tell Prison is hell for a n***a, they're usin' my bail Built bigger jails for a n***a Father I'm feelin' tired, forgive me, cause I'm a sinner Livin' life as a thug, while duckin' cops and the criminals Homies is dead and buried, past time has gone Don't ask why drink liquor cause my mind is gone And if I die, then let me watch what we been through Starin' at the world through my rearview HUH!
