Johnny Juliano - Simple Math3matics lyrics

Verse 1 Uh... as a teenager, my mind was gone Cause comin' up I lived in several different time zones Was feelin like I'm entitled to all these women Cause I laced my earlobe with all the shiniest of rhinestones Skinny youngin rockin tall tees and runnin at my Local court wit discount Jordans thought I was fresh as hell Had a pair for special occasions, them all white Adidas I would throw hands at nxggas steppin on the shell Chillin out maxin, relaxin off, coolin off we got a swimming pool we never use My mind on the revenues, cause I never had a real job, I'm feelin cheap I go to cla**, I go to practice, and then I repeat My adolescence, was full of hella lessons, had no idea I'd be makin records So every time I'd daydream in my cla**es, n the teacher called me out And tried to point me in the right direction I told em I'm tryna be, greater than...you Teacher lady... i'm tryna be greater than... it's mathematics Vibin' out Verse 2 Movin' onto college now, graduated with the high GPA, and college letters stackin' up, by mid-July I decided that I was rollin' wit, ATL and I kept it rollin' since All them northern colleges was cold as shxt Had to be somebody, my vision was probably tainted With pictures of success, women n Maseratis College days was like Degra**i, an artist in the makin' Masqueradin' as a strugglin' student I ain't have to fake that Now it seems like way back, Motivation and ASAP TIP in my headphones, makin' my hustle grand Every song that I make, my lyrical muscle expands I got a message, nothin' irrelevant like Russell Brand, nahh My role models, was never poppin' bottles, they led the way In our struggle for freedom, they popped the throttle Puttin' feet down, and I'm channellin' that spirit in the booth 'cause no matter what happens outside, y'all always get the truth I'm tryna be... Verse 3 Now it's simple, arithmetic cause one and one makes three Because my, parents got together and done made me, and my two siblings Destined for greatness, never settlin' for no city, state or no country Man, the planet bout to let us in Lyricism is heaven sent, never underestimate the fact That I can capture people's spirits with my words All the stages I rocked and the CDs that people copped From spittin' thoughts into mics, now hundreds of fans have heard of me Damn, I can't quite express it verbally Every time somebody quotes my lyrics I'm in surgery From cardiac arrest, all the love that I've been feelin' from my fans Could never pay that back, cause I started all this from ground zero It took me 12 months of college with 4 jobs to drop two quality tapes on ya And I'm only 22, I got my whole life ahead of me Say what you want about me, you gotta respect the pedigree
