[Hook: Tracy Chapman] You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Started from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me myself I got nothing to prove [Verse: Crooked I] Ridin' on a bus A n***a broke I wish I was invisible; I need a cloak Everybody staring, feeling eyes from afar Even if they ain't man I still think they are Lookin' for them jobs, a hundred in a week Couldn't find one now I'm on government relief Told the caseworker, "man I'm living in a rat trap" And everything I f**in' own is right here in this backpack Lemme backtrack See I dropped out of school early, tried to make the chronic weed sack crack Customers ride up, money divide up I helped my mama pay some bills, then my hustle dried up f** At least a n***a saw some "C" notes Didn't get caught, cops shipped me to Los Padrinos Mama left town, I didn't wanna go So I stayed in the beach sleeping on my homey's floor Had my shoes stacked next to me Had a Smith and Wesson .38 revolver for the east siders testing me I had a little flow but I didn't know A mad few knows to help a child with his destiny So it was left to me, had to do it all Homelessness, hunger, I went through it all I need inspiration, I'm walking to the mall I stole CD's man, it's time to evolve Hard times, when you're gone I'mma miss you I can't wait 'til spending money's not an issue The train stops by the Benz dealership And I be talking to them cars like, "yeah I'mma get you" Dreaming 'bout a fast car while the train's racin' The cops woke me up at the PCA station Asked for my ticket Damn that dream was vivid f** you bring me back to this whack situation? Back to reality, no salary Pockets low calorie f** Can't live my whole life like this and suffer losses That's when it hit me: Circle of f**in' Bosses Fast forward to now We went downtown to the fashion district and just bought us another office Not enough time to tell the whole story But the gist of the sh**'s "No nuts, no glory" Plus, I'm using music as a find art Yeah, the fine's with a "D" cause it's hard to find art And yours? I put my heart in every line Wanna stop Crooked's heart, rip his notebook apart Peace [Hook] [Outro: Crooked I] If I can do it, you can do it And I'd do it again
