(Verse One)
You think you know about me? Then what you know about me?
Then why you spend half of your f**ing time talking about me?
I grew up in the hood where if you talk out of turn n***as wanna lay you down with your words slurred, ROCKY
And I ain't talking 'bout boxing
Cause if you fight back n***as only wanna smite yah
If you talk peace n***as don't understand so I had a bad b**h named ROSETTA-STONE show me the language
Violence is what they know
The Bronx's speaking it fluent/influence I always had to glorify the rocks
Weed, speed and E
Meth, Coke and Dope
Syringes hitting the veins
Daughters are being sold
Father's are being stow(ed) tryna keep their stoves lit
Tummies to be feed
Fein's to be doped
Money to be made
But I'm only tryna make it off the block that made me but can also break me
(Chorus - Sung by NLX)
Just tryna find my way out (x2)
And I don't know how
I'm feeling double agent now (x2)
It seems to me
All I do
Is never enough
For all of you
So I'm out to find my way
Find my way from all of you
(Verse Two)
I have a lot of friends but they aren't thinking like me
This fast life is like an overdose it can k** yah
Some blocks they give you fast cash in advance
But if one thing that wasn't in the plan's intervenes, collateral
The only way you're leavings in a box
Trust me, I've seen it in the NEWS too many times
A guy named LEO
Astrology a LION
Living in a JUNGLE
Tryna get cheddar like a good who*e giving good s** he got clapped
DAMN, these rats are conniving, scheming
But I chose the pen and the pad to keep breathing
Opened up my books
And fined tuned my thoughts
Layed the base down
Carried the walls up
Locked myself in
Painted my stress out
Let my tears go
Let my words flow
Opened up my heart
Let this grudge free
Right outside the door this one girl stood there watched and found my whole establishment amusing
Went around the back and cleared a fogged window
What she saw she fell in love with
Organized chaos gave her moments of bliss
Broke in and told me dude I love you
Just sit back and take notes
La Galerie D'art's opened for business
(Chorus)
(Verse Three)
Please, don't let this come as a surprise
You knew that it was coming it's just a matter of time
I sit behind bars that happend to be confessions
To everything I've felt
That leaded to my convictions
Zoning but never listen'd
My fans give me a chance to explain my delays but love you're all given
"Home is where the heart is"?
Then I am not at home
Constantly cutting school just to get my own high, MUSIC
Dad says "Listen or you will feel" I said "I'd rather feel cause what I'm living's not real"
Told me follow my dreams but contradicting every other word
Like please give me a chance and just listen
One day you'll figure out the colours of a Rubik
Put one and two together and then you'll get three
That we're living in a box
And I'm drawing my own line
It's time to do me
--
And I kept my eyes closed, DREAM big
And never settle for less
Though you might fall
Remember you're always gonna take a hit
Strike back and let 'em know that you're there
Them as the holder of the keys, controlling your own dreams
Take control of your future
Me, I'm a musician
Plotting, yes Ima make these label's listen
Cause my DRIVE will never give in like a Porsche
Yes, I got dreams bigger then Thailand
I wanna hit Asia to inspire the youth
And come back to The Bronx with my personal wealth
Not currency I'm talking 'bout knowledge
$11.99 'Galerie d'Art'
Not only selling songs, I'm illustrating my story
For $500 bucks you're getting the whole package
You're getting my soul, my love, my life
I give, you take
I break down my substance
Giving it to the public
People always telling me I'm stupid for my decision
You listen to music
You're loving the message
But did you take into consideration what it takes to get there?
Sometimes bra** decisions is needed
Schooling all the teacher's who ain't never wanna believe
A real life rebel making trouble with the treble
Ba** clef, half-notes, whole notes and adlibs
Fans from the West all to the Middle East
All I have to do is hit Browse and f**ing upload
And watch me get more buys than your FREE download
I've always been broke so of course I've been an a**hole
"Giving up a toast to all of my douche-bags"
Sean Connery, I am living out my dreams
No matter how impossible
It is possible
I am here and I'm giving inspiration
GONE
(Outro - Sung by Space Academy)
Give it my all
Give it my soul
Truth of the matter is I've grown heartless
Could careless, I'm living my dreams
I'll give it all just to have one chance (x3)
