D.K. - Strong Base lyrics

Verse 1 (0:17-1:26) Sometimes I forget I was a kid once Every winter looking forward to the spring months ‘Cause baseball was the only thing, plus Summer's next soon as school days finish up I was such a cool dude at 8 In a good way, following the rules of the game Mom and dad laying out the rules every day Mom in the heart, dad in the brain Always believing they knew I had the ability Middle cla** with white picket stability Every morning grabbing hold of opportunities ‘Cause time is money man it's really nothing new to me Go to cla** give 100% Content with the first letter of the alphabet I had teachers and principals teaching me principles So you know I had to give em respect, yea Friends gathering and learning the ropes Sports on Saturdays keeping us close Listen to the man who calls himself Coach Do what you can, accomplish them goals Speaking of which let me set the scene for ya 15 with a C on my shoulder Didn't know why but we believed in Dola Wore the C until my last season was over All 4 years, I learned about teamwork In the last 3, I learned how a team works Had to figure out how to put "we" first That team was one of my best teachers Like how to I bring em together and Turn them into a family of gentlemen Lead by example and make yourself better then Let my vision turn into the medicine At the end of high school I lost a lot of friends Looking back, that allowed me to take control of my own life Verse 2 (1:35-2:10) Graduated with a smile and 2 friends In the end I learned a lot about true friends Picture perfect timing looking through a new lens To introduce a new dude to my new friends With a pa**ion for music in athletic shoes Knew my package was moving cuz after the move-in I was laughing in school and attracting a crew With some character knew they were down for the movement In conclusion, I look at undergrad and all the fun I had, I Don't discredit confusion, if I could run it back I'd choose that rugged path, again Where the credit is due it's, to that much appreciated strong base All that trust was given, I was growing up thinking I'd need luck, to end up in the wrong place, yeah
