[Verse 1: Toine]
This be the story of a young writer
Black sheep mad wool
Who got the tree, I need three bags full
Cause yo, hip-hop funny as hell
Took me out of the house
But more important, kept me out of the jail
Introduced me to a world where ya knowledge'll tell
If you a**ume then you probably will fail
And that was me
Dropped face flat, like I dropped a CD
A year later, look around and I'm still in PG
f**ed up ain't it
Tucked in my pride so me and the J-O had to get reacquainted
Barely gave a damn
Now I'm back where I started
With the game in my hand and I'm blowing on the cartridge
Trying to figure how I'm just another starving artist
Still bring it the hardest
n***as come off lethargic
You know Toine bring the cla**ic sh**
And Dunc beats be the ma**ive sh**, we keep it funky for you!
[Verse 2: Toine]
sh** it's time to ride wit me
It ain't no better minute than now for my city
Kids lunchin, cats k**ing over Penny's
But DC get the money
From Gods'illa to Shy Glizzy
And I was about to throw in the towel
It seemed like giving a damn was really going out of style
But when I ever follow the trend
I been a stand out
Since Snoop was mixing up the juice with the gin (come on..)
DTMD, we the creme de le creme
Cats going on a limb till they take one to the chin
But look, this ain't an act
It's natural, like giving a dap
Ain't really something from me trying to adapt
If I could fight I would, but I can't so I won't
It helped me be who I am...sh** it kept me afloat
If I ever lose my way, wonder where ima go
I know I'm here to hit y'all n***as with the dope
So yo, you tryna smoke
