[Young E]
[Verse 1]
I postponed drama like a TV network
There were hearts dropping, I just said let it work
Lost friends due to bad communication
Girls thought I was cheating, no patience
Looked around, all I saw was nonsense
sh**, I never even got what I wanted
Doing what everyone else wants like I was haunted
I wish I had problems with four choices
Sadly, there's only two and you listen to the voices
Around you, the ones that constantly surround you
Any wrong words will definitely pound you
They say girls come and go, but friends come and stay
Well I say f** that rule, I already payed
My dues, and I have never ever played
A girl even if they constantly say I did
Cause I would be too happy, like I got the highest bid
And I just wish that girl can believe me
Cause that happened hears ago, and she don't even see me
Well I did dump her for another girl
But only cause the other girl was my elementary world
I liked her for third, fourth, and fifth grade
And finally in mid-fifth grade, I made
My dreams come true, cause that's what you gotta do
But an elementary relationship never lasts long
So I got the boot, and I was too young for a bong
So I went into rapping and writing lyrics
My dad was always free-styling, he said "Do you hear it?"
And I didn't understand him cause of course I could hear it
But now I do, he wanted me to listen closely
But ima win this, so don't call me Mosley
I've given up sister-like friends
I think our relationship heart will never mend
I wasn't reaching the right fundamentals
So after that I functioned with a stencil
I grabbed a streak and then I hit up
I was no longer lying down, it was time to sit up
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
My verses get longer every track
When I look at the world, I ask "Am I on crack?"
I wish I was on crack, but sadly that's that
And if I died today, I would die a nobody
And that's not my destiny, ima be a somebody
I've never had stable relationships
And no fairy-tale, fable relationships
The only girl I really, really liked was my baby Tee
But the problems with that, was many, many
We've been close to the end
Then I realized it was gonna take a friend
So I did what I had to do
I even gave up kicking it with my crew
And surprisingly, I got another friend off that
I guess it ain't hard to make a buddy, in fact
Just pa** the bud, and you'll see that's that
But I'm glad I got back the Tereva Click-Clat
And life is no longer an easy walkthrough
So I walk through my streets never scared of a crew
And I mad dog everyone with no regret
And I bet, they'll never forget
Me, the big E, I do sh** with no remorse
But when it comes to friends, there's more and more
I'm always occupied so I'm never bored
I go to Maintain, and not to buy a board
But to buy my supplies and I can get up
And with my life, I'm fed up
On this track, I'm only spitting the truth
I Say What's Real while I'm brushing my tooth
I rap 24/7, and I never stop
I've been suspended, but my uncle punched a cop
Now he's in prison and I'll probably never see him again
And that affects my life, I'm listening to Many Men
And damn, now I'm back on my back, what do I do?
I look around the room, and see who is who
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Friends are just the family you get to choose
But what if you chose wrong? Then what do you do?
Cause I've hung around with bad influences
Caught the ghetto virus like the Influenza
n***as that smoke weed and fight for fun
n***as that tag with spray cans and pack guns
But I've never ever felt the need to run
And my parents be like "I'm so proud of my son"
And I get that often so I don't need to record it
I k** beats, I'm scared of getting reported
I'm connected to the Latin Hustle crew
And we always thinking "What's next to do?"
I can certainly say every single one of them is real
We k** and we ain't even got a deal
And my biggest supporter is the woman I love
Teresa, f** all the problems, we're above
That kinda sh**, and we always got the glove
If you know what I mean and this is just me
The biggest, baddest, and best: Young E
Triple B, not riding with a wheel and a B
Barely managing to keep my B's
Ima fulfill my destiny, all you do is watch me
I gotta stay strong, and stay away from the bong
Hundreds on me, tick tock like a bomb
Tick tock like a clock, I just watch
My life pa** by, and I gotta make something of it
Cause I wasn't born to make nothing of it
I gotta stay fresh, and hotter than a burning oven
And all of a sudden, I'm slowly turning into somethin'
But I keep my friends close and my enemies even closer
And I'm never ever kicking it with a poser
"I dress like a skater" Wayne said it, I repeat it
I'm barely here, and I ain't gonna be defeated
Without Drake, I would just be another Psycho Realm
Now I'm balanced out, and listeners are overwhelmed
I See Who's Real and if you ain't, just leave
Don't try to talk to me, I'll leave you deceased
Well I've never k**ed a man but I definitely will
So don't bring out my ill will, just chill
