Uh, a couple calls I would call close
Couple times I added dead after an almost
Guns to my head with the hammers pulled back
Seen more than I shoulda fore my camera goes black
Brraat, heard that sound a couple times too
Usually times two, brraat, then it's swine flu
Sick how these cops fly, only when it's time to
Send someone off, can't put it on the times, too
Old of a profession, better put it on the blind
People, open up your eyes, better open up the blinds, too
There's been a few times, I couldn't find help
Nobody to turn to so I turned to myself
Situation critical and everyone's a critic
Prolly woulda k**ed somebody til I saw how spitting rhymes felt
Laugh it off, Seinfeld
I'm just happy to be lucky that I rhyme well
Cause I can think of a couple occasions I fell
Down, criticizing the whole world from my cell
More than once, rap's saved me, it's crazy
And where it takes me, I'll let time tell
Uh, there's been a few times
That I could only smile if I spit a few lines
Uh, there's been a few times
Uh, uh, there's been a few times
Uh, there's been a few times
That I could only smile if I spit a few lines
Uh, there's been a few times
Uh, uh, there's been a few times
A couple few times I tried to do right
Tried to live by the bible and tried to do like, Him
But it's hard, to turn the other cheek
Living in a world where you can be too light-skinned
So I save a few lines for the stressful days
Hold those, push the rest away and then I just chill
Just one thing to fall in place
That's all I really need to happen, then the rest will, bet
And if it never does, I'll be a never-was
Nothing you never saw, no kind of better buzz
Something nobody heard, might as well never spoke
Wasted too many words, held on too long to hope
-There's been a few times, I wished upon a noose
Cause I ain't have a wish to pawn, or the power on
So there's been a few times I got my prowler on
And I ain't proud of that, but I'm so proud they're gone
Cuz hip-hop has saved my life; I said hip-hop has saved my life
Never forget it, yo, hip-hop has saved my life, I said hip-hop has saved my life
Uh, there's been a few times
That I could only smile if I spit a few lines
Uh, there's been a few times
Uh, uh, there's been a few times
Uh, there's been a few times
That I could only smile if I spit a few lines
Uh, there's been a few times
Uh, uh, there's been a few times
