*whattttuppp LA!!!*
[Verse One]
When i'm not stuck in eirenophrenia
Worrying i'm going to get stuck with my dad's schizophrenia
Nostalgia best hits me when i'm with my friends
Going down memory lane, we hit a dead end
Reminiscing about middle and high school, and the sh** we got into
Wishing i had someone to provide commonition, instead i was worried about crew competition
All the fights, stupidity, running from the cops, so that means run ins with the law all the time
Getting into parapraxis, while my cousin's getting spracked, sh**
The violence and our temper, talking sh** loud, no snitchin, stay silent
Remember when i took up band cla**? i took up clarinet
I s**ed so bad that i got kicked out, the instructor wasn't hearin' it
Bumping reverie and rotting out while i was catching tags
Man i swear, those was the most fun i've ever had
Would i do it again? hell yeah
But i survived all the sh**, i find it mirific
Thanks mom, i owe you more than one for everything, believe it

[Verse Two]
Now I'm 20, not used to growing up
I'm used to being sick on the freeways always throwing up
No vomit, means I took a can and I bombed it, but the feds would cover it up, Amish
Reminiscing about the good days when i was actually acting bad
But you can shut me up, if you handed me a can
16 w/ no plan, all mad because i got no love from my dad
How the f** you gonna beat your kids and call yourself a man?
Me crew and i would roam around for something to do
Young as f**, ain't no goals to pursue
Everyone's on their skateboards while i'd “tag” along like a Philippines kid writin graff
No offence, i say that sh** for laughs
Hang at the riverbed by the park til dark or until we got chased out my narcs
Played our part, we tore the city apart
They say its a crime to alter perfection
But we had a different perspective
Keep it steppin or respect it
Now I'm older, here's my perception:
We vandalized the city and perfected it
Experiments and sh**, we were some crazy a** kids
Fast forward to now I'm furthering my education
Hoping to gain a career and acknowledged new faces
Its weird but we all gotta do it
Life is harder but ill do it
I got success that I'm pursuing
On my way to college on the 266, facin life i'm older now
Hangin with and older crowd
Less friends, less stress
I learned that the hard way
Around the way b*tch! and things always change
