[Verse 1: Sir Michael Rocks]
Yesterday in the shower man I thought about it
I was in there 'bout an hour thats a lot of water
I could honestly just be the man I really wanna
It kinda bothered me so now I'm gon' be going harder
I swear to God I'm on the phone with the old me
From '06, the me that didn't know sh**, about much
I was skating with Deandre, in love with Jaelahni
At the anime club get a sub with salami
Thats my routine, the art school I'm trying new things
Im selling d** to the cinema kids
I can't remember they names
I can't remember quite what they did
But I remember something one of 'em said
He talking 'bout "I think you really smart in the game
You easy to relate to but hard to explain."
That was the old plan and I stuck to it
I just knew that it would work
Cause you f** n***as couldn't do it
And I was right too
Who knew that those nights I was headed to the answer?
I didn't know
My mind moving like white folks when
They neighborhood start changing up
Cause were dangerous
I really think I, I really think so
Before the whole world blow and we all gotta go
I'm a show you how the f** I roll
[Hook]
Got the mostacholi ravioli red
Throwin' signs like a Zodiac
I ain't never been the one to run
Its time to go and get another gun
I been wrapping the work, I been shipping P's
America look what you did to me
My beeper go 'ring ring ring'
Y'all calling me, y'all tryna get some weed
Got to serve for my momma need surgeries
My beeper go 'ring ring ring'
If I die while I'm chasing this f**ing dream
America look what you did to me
My beeper [Oh sh**!] go 'ring ring ring'
[Verse 2: Sir Michael Rocks]
I heard a knock momma went and put her face to the peephole
Cops said I was getting chased by some people
Is everything good?
You in the wrong place?
Wrong time?
Wrong color zone?
He's in the wrong hood
Did they even draw blood?
Do you know about these thugs-
-that we're trying to get framed for a shootin'
You in a gang?
You recruitin?
You a lame?
You a student?
Where ya hang?
What's your name?
Oh you claim you're producing?
Thats good!
Staying outta trouble huh?
Who said that I would?
As soon as they left I linked back up with Katelyn
To s** on some titties cause we wasn't f**ing yet
We wasn't nothin yet
We was running around with them flea market diamonds
Coming to school, sellin them to-
-all the n***as who ain't know and get money from momma
Uh uh, first sell I made 250
I had to give that back
He was stealing money from his momma purse
Taking 100 dollar bills when she go to work
Damn boy, things we do just to fit in and keep up with n***as
I had to give that up
Wanted to be my own man, before the internet told me who I was
I was the shorty who used to catch frogs and bugs,
Coming back to the crib covered all mud
Big sis told me get fresh on n***as
And don't run if they press you
I used to go in those closets, man, and steal all his clothes
He throw up signs, I used to throw up mine
Now I'm riding home with a bunch of bricks
Police come and I'm punchin' it...
