Ortiz - When I Blow Up lyrics

[Intro: Ortiz] One time, two time, three time, f-four time, and it go like [Hook x 2: Ortiz] When I was born in the sky rode a comet My mom almost died, told the devil no comment And things are looking up so to God I pay homage And if I blow up, keep your virgins, Mohammed [Bridge: Ortiz] Welcome to my world, welcome to my life It's hard to take chances when you don't roll the dice Welcome to my world, welcome to my life It's hard to take chances when you are scared of life [Verse: Ortiz] Welcome to the melting pot, but we more like salad Divided they say we fall, but somehow I stay standing Remember I couldn't afford a four door Escort? (uh-huh) Or even cop the latest tape from Esco? (uh-huh) I said it must be my hustle, must be my drive, but I'mma keep pushing long as I'm alive, alive And when they bury me I want you to consider me one of the greatest to ever do it from my time, time My goals are determined, if it ain't for this rap thing what is it I'mma be learning? How to answer phone calls and redirect them? To hell with that, you can kiss my rectum I respect all them family men, the ones who bringing home dinner Them single mothers on welfare raising kids with no father figure The world steady revolving, question is will you revolve or stand still? Will you make the bed you lie up in? I hope you will In the city where just to break even means you gotta beat the odds And the smog keeps us from seeing, being, or believing we could be stars And I just wanna be one, and I wanna blow like a piston Or like C.Billups and be like him, and like Kim I'm going to blow up overnight as I sing [Hook x 2: Ortiz] [Bridge 2: Ortiz] Welcome to my world, welcome to my life Its hard to do your homework when they cut off your lights Welcome to my world, welcome to my life It's hard to pay attention when you ain't got a dime
