[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]
