[Produced by 9th Wonder] [Verse 1] I woke up early in the A.M. [?] Favourite lines mi amor, [?] Leaders lead the blind I'm seeing through ‘em like an x-ray Layin out my plans like it's clothes for the next day Grindin' [?] tryna make it major in rap Ain't no chaser for that Streets got a hangover like wet rags on towel racks [?] stays on my mind [?] like [?] had Life is much shorter what we thought it would be Living so close to hell make heaven harder to see Moses never seen the Promised Land but parted the sea So my soul is still the sample and my heart is the beat More drama than four baby mommas And problems always seem to come back like karma, man But if you ain't growin' then you dyin' Can't touch the sky if you have a fear of flyin' [Hook] Now we rockin' and she rollin' If you down with a n***a let me know That's when we stopped in, see we all in So we goin goin goin goin gone [Verse 2] Man, I say with every song I hop on they wonder why I'm not on Land on these tracks just to put my train of thought on [?] than bein' tired and fiends put it together Like [?] when rings close cats like *ding* y'all know what I mean Spitting fire like Dhalsim can't douse us Won't stop til pockets is fatter than Fat Albert's Treat my albums like boats cause I'm hopin' they sell Cause my bills got me scared to even open my mail But all my homies is like Talib Kweli, tryna get by But all they money is so low that they can't even get high And that's a shame, not a dolla to my name Overdrafts to the bank, makin' change by makin' change They tryna make it rain, just hopin' that the clouds pa** But some things never change like black berry mola**es Tryna make a name when they don't know you exist Hope there's somethin' out there better than this [Hook] [Verse 3] I told ‘em one of these days I'mma be on this stage Back when I was rockin' shows was hopin' one of them'd pay Working harder than a slave no whips or no chains Tryna come up from the dirt like worms when it rains Did you notice man, they say they know this man Cause I be comin' out your speakers like I was, uh, Kazam They went from sorta hating to only seeing him when I'm needin' more order takin' Tryna match what I'm doin' but we ain't corrdinatin' See we tryna bring the feel back, the sk** This Add, Add-2 gon' bring the real back My peoples need a hero or a h**ne I could give ‘em hope but they could find it in a needle filled with h**n Came from the Chi, jam, bu*ter, sugar and rice To chilling in Chapel Hill eatin' chicken with Ninth See there's the choices when it come to life See you can either prove ‘em wrong or prove ‘em right I chose the first [Hook]
