As a kid I had jacksh** back in the day*
No stussys no bike No nikes
And I knew it meant target when they said target so I cut the tags off but at the end of the day
I guess you are what you eat your last and name your street
You can remedy the melody but never change the beat
So I made that beat work and now they see I done did it but the truth is the only choice I had was run with it go!
You wanna come get it I'll be waiting right here
Rockin' target and my aero sport like yeah
I finally made it to the top of the game
Now I can make a brand hot just by droppin a name
It's all good
And where I've been my shadow follow me
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me
'cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
Yeah look
I've tripped deep to the beat of the drum
Asleep threw out CLASS till the weekend would come
Play sneakers and run quick from the back of the bus
I'm in the back door cause I don't have a ticket as such
They're kickin' a fuss
F*ck it, mates picking me up and the 'vibe in the commodoor'
Still vivid enough
To know exactly where I came from livin' it rough
The vision it shined bright, I told em' I rhymed tight
Yeah, I finally made it to the top of the game and I can feel it from the stage when they're rockin my name
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me
'cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
To be true there's been nights where I didn't believe
So I sat in my room praying lookin' up from my knees
Made a wish on a star hopin' that my luck would change
And I don't know if god heard me but I'm up on a stage
And this is crazy
Who would have thought I'd come this far from a couple of spliff spits In the back of that car
And with a couple of thousand kids that are packin' the bar and are willin' to pay for tickets with the cash on the card
So it's crucial every time I put the paper to use
If you couldn't believe it's simply a waste of my youth
I'm takin' the truth with me to the top of the game
And if your feelin' what I'm sayin' then were one of the same
So I know where I've been from where I've got to go
So now I keep on thinkin' that my fears will swallow me
'cause it's all good I know my way I'll get back home
