Efrain - State Your Name lyrics

Verse 1: I was a terror since the public school era Never I was a quite n***a But n***as still knew better Fresh pair of 12s hair long as hell School trip to the zoo my brother took a trip to jail Even at 12 I knew I was sick as hell Beating on cafeteria tables rhyming with Darrell Tryna prevail with the flow going back and forth like Big L Wasn't a fan of school though I did well Inhaled my first L at 13, 15 year old influence introduced us to it Now it's puff pa** before my first cla** stair case Battling for respect this little voice in my head like Verse 2: I ain't an activist But I get proactive (Why?)
