That's when I wanna skate, cause once the belts come out, there's no escape Me and my brother both, but that n***a f**in' changed Ever since he left the crib he been acting a bit strange Filling up his lungs with squares Caught up in the era where n***as is cool if the thugness there I can give a f**, I know how it goes They gon' be on my nuts, soon as they see that 106 steady playin' my stuff [Bernie Mac] [Verse 2] Trying to make it to the other side They say the gra** is greener, I hope they didn't lie Or somebody gonna get this mitten into they eye I ain't trying to be working these f**ing 9-5's Moms still b**hing at me cause the f**ing dishes high All this stress make me wanna start getting high Flip these pink lips to black, Moms gon' kick me out Right with my bro, stealing up out of stores and sh** I love him, but he tripping like a nerd, and I hope these damn babies help him learn I'm holding the faith, I'm the common sense from '98 Can I borrow a dollar cause I ain't ate Can't wait till n***as say that I'm f**in' the game And chicks giving me p**y cause they heard of my name This the sh** I always dreamed about In my room with the fan in the window, and the music loud b**h I'm coolin' now I ain't trying to stay local Raps only played by my circle, that sh** is wack So I'm out here on the grind like Hawk do Trying to make these f**in' dreams come true Trying to make my dreams come true, trying to make my dreams come true Trying to make these dreams come true, trying to make these dreams come... true
