Mantra - The Introduction lyrics

[Verse 1: Sho-Biz] I'm yelling how could you doubt me School I was a straight C student but in that booth sh**, I was Summa Cum Laude I mean I took the college route, pa**ed some cla**es and dropped out That was around the same time I got kicked out my father house I had my back against the wall, even though I beat them odd's It ain't no doubt my team go hard, ten toes down my head to God Like, wa**up you gone bless a n***a or what? I put my life up in this music but right now sh** all f**ed up I mean my momma sick, and my father pissed Landlord tryna get me out cause I ain't got the rent The Hardaway last Penny like I ain't got a cent And working magic in that booth like I ain't got no sense Yelling New Rich, its more than a team or a movement A way of life so please don't confuse it, risked all of my cards I got no fear of losing I gambled it all, I mean all, we the greatest and here's where I prove it Admit the mistakes that I made on the road that I paved but lord I'm only human Please forgive me [Hook]: You need to understand That I'm just human And I'll make mistakes I know I've messed up in the past And I'm tryna change that An everyday struggle of my life [Verse 2: Jay Storm] Lets take a trip down memory lane On that road to success, we were taking the train There were no yellow brick roads, these hard streets Had off white bricks, and for the block they were letting it rang, hello? Block calls and the Feds always watching 'em Good with the hands but they always knew to box him in George Foreman on all of their faces Grills from the cops we felt all of them racist Kemba Walker, of the pen and author, of the struggle In the South Bronx, where they came and caught ya, every time My big homy was a pimp, and I knew that Recording in his basement to get out and he blew that He got deported, and a n***a ain't seen him since, true that Always praying that he flew back, I never knew that Watching them all leave In cold nights they'll bare arms, and grabbing the long sleeve Lord forgive them [Hook]: You need to understand That I'm just human And I'll make mistakes I know I've messed up in the past And I'm tryna change that An everyday struggle of my life
