[Chorus MC Cprite]
I said Jerome in the house, I said Jerome in the house
I said Jerome in the house, I said Jerome in the house
Jerome in the house so best watch ya' mouth, Jerome in the house
I said Jerome in the house so best watch ya' mouth, Jerome in the house
[Verse1 MC Cprite]
I'm building up my foundation , n***as they be hating
I'm tired of waiting, money we ain't making
Must have been forsaken, me I'm never shaken
So you better break-fast, for dough or for the bacon
This is so amazing, numbers like a matrix
Filling up these rows and these columns with my statements
I tryna say sh**, I got so say it
And I ain't want to make sh**, but you got play it
Arrange it and debate it, nobody else to like it
If you didn't like it, nobody else like it
Nobody else like it, then you got to buy it, uhmm
That's the way I'm raised where I'm from
That's the way I was told to write up on the page
That's the way I was told to rock up stage
There's nothing less for me to say
Let's go inside from the rain
[Chorus MC Cprite]
[Verse 2 MC Cprite]
I remember 7th grade when I wasn't getting paid, and I wasn't getting laid
But I felt like I was made
Listening to 50 calling n***as all these wa*kstas
Looking up to thieves tryna be just like the gangstas
Didn't fully know who I wanted to be
Building a soul and discovering me
Grades started slipping, immune to the whippings
Cla**es I was skipping thinking that it was appealing
Grabbing girls a**, hopping on the bus
Slapped a couple times but it never was enough
Guess I wouldn't listen to the n***as that was telling me
From that point forward every teacher started failing me
Felt like a dummy, felt like an idiot
n***as telling me that I couldn't be serious
That's how I lost my fear in this
That's why you'll never hear of them
[Chorus MC Cprite]
[Verse 3 MC Cprite]
I remember, going to see my fam in New York
They telling me to chill, cause life is too short
And I was like yeah, but I didn't give a damn
Instead I played life, like a muhf**en sport
Up in Kentland and I'm chilling on the porch
Had a couple fights at the basketball court
Rode a couple bikes, never minding life
Until you hear them shots , then your a** hit the floor
It's hard to have faith with no homies anymore
You praying every day because you never fought a war
I'm praying every day because I want to face more, DAYS
365 ways to go get paid
Lost my best friend and it's like we part ways
Smoking on some tree just to stay up out the shade
You never even thought about the things that I faced
You never even thought about the things that I faced
[Chorus MC Cprite]
