[SON:]
Being black man in the north
Is tough to cope with
Every winter imma soccer team, running back and forth
But that was back when I wore gla**es to see
Before you and me
When I loved you from sea to shining sea
I can never compare love and war
The sun, the beach, the love
It all became a bore
But dat was back when I was young
I would slip off the ladder to success, rung
Get back up a began rapping for y'all, sung
My girls act like trucks so they back it up
Then they picked the world up, and dropped it on each other's heads
Wayne told me and them how to do it, lead
My life's a race so I'm drifting off, sleep
Talk to me like a man, treat me like a king
My h••s think they my love, want me to get them all a ring
I only do dat with my phones
I watch over them like drones
I copy my own moves like imma clone
I play solitaire but don't like to be alone
I pace like I'm on the phone
I will fetch girls out of poverty like they my bones
Dis area is forbidden like the Area 51 zone
Last week at a party as Son, changed my name, back when I was better known
I stay at the top no one else has grown
I don't give money, so no loans
My girl fell down on my D, groans
I will stay in touch with n•••as and music, radiotelephone
The sun had set on his life, shone
My life was full of football watching the ball getting thrown
I am the king and don't step to the throne
They wanted us to be together, join
I can smell her pheromone
Because it was windblown
Loud like a megaphone
To others dat smells unknown
Two b•tches of opposite races make a roan
The hood genie is well known but unshown
We play music dat makes sad glad, uptone
Pop him in his chest, breastbone
But dat was back when I…
[HOOK:]
Back when I was old
All the young seemed headstrong
Back when I was young
Thought all parents had to be wrong
But dat was back back back when I-I-I-I
Was young or old, when it was acceptable for a man to cry
Wouldn't get k**ed for a lie
But dat was back when I, dreamt I could fly a mile high
But let's continue…
[T.RAY:]
Once upon I time there was a black man performing for y'all
He got a slip when he got that call
That he was going to hollywood
Be he thought the would, should, couldas
Once they struck he was gone
Left em behind, turned that light-switch on
Went from Barbados to the Bay, from the Bay to Cali
He wanted everything like the Dali
I'm not dat tall bit I sure as h•ll is fast
Moving on through with a DeLoren, get dat blast from the past
Skipping cla** like rocks
My girls are wet so I need to find the docks
Lost out at sea for a dime
I had just prematurely finished my time
Just to come here and rhyme
I blow up like Fuji
Thrive in Tokyo like Akuji
I'm man that hunts Godzilla
I'm the terrible lizard k**er
People see blood in my eyes but I see knives in they're throats
When they cry, they cry hard nuff to flip a boat
Bravo and Presley talk alike
But me and Bugsy rap nothing alike
Some people will fall for y'all
But I will ball for y'all
Just give me that call
I will keep the game goin
Even when on pause
I'mma beast, no hands only paws
The day they released me, was on the 21st of December back in twenty-twelve
I store my girls for all to see up on the shelves
I'mma keep this goin…

I kept all my worries up on a shelf
So I ne'er had any
Watching over my girls like the elf
He just shot up in front of a cop, can he?
Throwing back to the 90s, that's when Will ruled
I'm now the Prince of rap
I own the court where he was schooled
The flat top and hat could've gotten him a cap
Chillin' was my job, then the Slush Puppie arrived…
