[Intro] Statik Selektah [Verse 1] Blowing up like chicks that got ass shots My style changed when Kanye rock the Louis Vuitton ascot Got a little status for the jooks I had caught Back when I was gang-gangin' I didn’t have squat I ain’t ever have shit but I always had heart Niggas knew what it was, I never needed to act hard Either took the train or I would borrow my dad's car Approach me wrong and I might have to reach in the stash box and blast off R.I.P. with the TSA, let it fly with no passport Poker inside the JanSport Took a leap of faith, I never thought that I would land short Quick to give it to a motherfucker if he asked for it Sad part is, we was never bad kids My nigga **** shot up the park, got twenty-five years Used to kick it at my crib, I haven’t spoken to him since We ain’t ever get to link, I ain't forget you hoped you'd hear this I realize in life we all gon' take our own path And if you ever wanna talk, I got my own math We were just kids then and now we grown men I was going through depression, I thought that I was goin' mad [Chorus] Live pass twenty-two, they almost killed me with the deuce-deuce Never did I think I’d make a living off of YouTube Wasn’t going nuts but always knew had a loose screw Remember when my goal in life was just to catch a Mewtwo Playing my Nintendo, Pikachu edition, yellow Robbers broke in and they stole it when I lived inside a hell hole I ain't ever get it back 'cause they just hungry in the ghetto I first learned about an arm and then I learned about an elbow Live pass twenty-two, they almost killed me with the deuce-deuce Never did I think I’d make a living off of YouTube Wasn’t going nuts but always knew had a loose screw Remember when my goal in life was just to catch a Mewtwo Playing my Nintendo, Pikachu edition, yellow Robbers broke in and they stole it when I lived inside a hell hole I ain't ever get it back 'cause they just hungry in the ghetto I first learned about an arm and then I learned about an elbow [Verse 2] I grew up in the ghetto, you’ll be lucky if you get out Snitches sing like a falsetto, veterans wear chains like medals Didn’t discover the genre when I first found heavy metal And I knew it wasn’t my toy, as a kid, fucked up my mental Just imagine dodging death and life on multiple occasions I done made it out unscathed while in some fucked up situations It feel like we all competing to our own elimination We don’t see how this ain’t positive and cause our limitations We products of our surrounding, all neglected and doubted For the all the times we were counted out we gone need a thousand Put us inside of projects and living in public housing Half my life I had no bed was sleeping on people's couches West Indian, would say I grew up in a good home Smart enough to go to school and follow by the hood code Slowed my roll when I realized just how it could go After I seen that they book bro, before life got out control [Outro] Mi haffi show yuh seh yo Nuh mek dem tings happen to yuh, seen?
