Y.S.A - The Preface lyrics

Thru the lights cameras and action glamour, glitters and gold I been, tryna be Hov since ours 20 years old Started writing when I was living back on Alhambra Rd Never lost the touch wit Similies and balancing flows Always challenged my bros., standing out in every cypher Just ta let ni**as know tht I'm a lotta bit nicer I was out in Baldwin reppin a team, thought I'd be proud of it But felt counterfit, when they politely left me out of it But ain't no love lost, much respect entirely It only lit light to my spirit, man enlightened me Ta see what I becoming, got tired of ni**as frontin All this planning and arguing, still coming out with nothing F*ck it, I'll do it by my lonely I Thru the bullsh*t behind me my ni**a, u still the homie Singles on Triple R Had me Storming thru the blogs Me and official stichel combining beats wit the bars Ta complete it, it was hard We mad a lot of fire And thas w/o the Charko, gas fluid and lighters But I needed some money for promotions to be hyper Plus me dealing wit these broads never made the fog lighter Dealing wit a lady That said I knocked her up but showing no proof of being pregnant with the baby Drove me a lil crazy But still kept the focus ta k** all my competition That was frontin on me spittin 2014, drew out a scheme Thata have me poppin wit the Lotta Money House Regime Performing on the Deans List Tour Just furthermored my core, listeners Thinkin to myself, man this is it for us This is it for me, penetrating thru history And expectations so motherf*ck what u predicted me So like a k**er that specialize k**s Compare it to my sk**s, cuz real recognize REAL..
