The University - Hallmark lyrics

[Verse 1] We're living in a space frenzy Seems like only yesterday when everyone was friendly And brand new J's were the only reason to envy 'Til people grew a heart Then got it broken, that pain was heavy But that's what made 'em ready Had to change views, situations adapted The pain was in your face and in your place, you reacted Everyone you attracted, simply cause of your pa**ion Became some kind of fashion just to be part of that sh** I know who I owe rations to and that's exactly Who will clock the time in every race inside this track meet Dreams larger than Zangief Strength that you can't beat Look he's tryin' to talk says Thumper about Bambi Crushes over Sherry, Destiny, Qaiyah, D'Angie That's my starting quadrille So if you ask me, then that's me Started as a drummer, musical road runner And I seen I had potential to be huge and own summers Visions of meeting Villaraigosa in Saragosa And I'd teach Ms. Estes something for all the things that she showed us We all could find something to get off our chest, so what They asked me for the mission and the real me showed up, showed up [Hook] Feels like every thought I ever told myself to hold up Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card Go on and on and on It feels like every time I ever told myself to hold up Is the reason that I am finally 'bout to grow up So put this in your car then take this as my hallmark card Go on and on and on [Verse 2] Here we go, word to my Audubon days All the way to San José Those memories feel just hours away I got towers of things that remain On top of my brain I just knew I'd make it to Denver some way... Word to Rahim And that's a safety statement for ya... Vacant paces never pave the way, I pave it for ya... They can change the way you think But never change it for ya If beauty's in the eye of the holder I made Sephora for a girl with great decorum Slap boxing... comparing hands with Vincent Mr. Framtpon was vicious But Hitman had the hit list And LuMo had the beats in San José Remember when I met ya But we never went back Cause we recorded during lectures, uh [Hook] [Verse 3] Ahh... can you hear me now? (2x) Said can you hear me now? sh** I'm dressed in success and I'm 'bout to wear it down This is the silent awareness effect I'm engineering me and I am in here in the jet And I made the mission back Let me explain In case you didn't get where my head was at Planned it, orchestrated, waited... Through the pain in which made a beautiful painting For a musical statement... Made cuts for everything I cut in case I'm too abrasive They asked me for concrete evidence And I paved the pavement Knew you would make it if you tried my dude This is what happens when you decide to fly my n***a Goin' against the odds despite the size my dude Diving inside the clouds like the sky's my pool Put time and effort inside to exercise my Mind and defy the physics of fear, I gotta rise my n***a, defy the physics of fear, I gotta rise my dude View the spectrum of the world like a collage Through these eyes I came into this world tryin' to live a life of A vision of what you're epitomizing Not realizing that if we're alive, then n***a we are Zion, that's only if you're striving To keep it real, tell me if you're feeling real Your brother like Rugrats I'm your twin whenever you're Phil & Lil (feeling little) sh** comes alive in the midst of your pa**ion Only thing missing is an address With a mansion to seal the deal So if you ever decide to approach me with the question I'll tell you my biggest lesson's learned from everything I feel for real [Hook] [Outro] Yeah...
