That was back when... Back when it was nothin' but a dream Food drive service, black churches kept my mother cookin' daily Dinner, breakfast, even lunches for the team Pulled me to the side, told me she was savin' up a bucket full of green Hush plans boy, nothin's what it seems Get up off your ass and follow your passion Motivated from moments then it's back to the mattress Work patches back to back, me god be tragic All these asses, rack up thoughts, wreak havoc You, you follow the rules Develop misunderstandin' then swallow your jewels Dependin' on model there's never model your uniqueness Deep kiss the way you bottle your cool I remember the school high Ridiculous new ideas to my peers, fear you must be a musha Martin look wrist boy better woosa! My niggas reflectin' images off in they [?] Lord, I've been at task I ask my last request on earth is not to let my selfish way shine through Don't believe in karma, only God But I know what goes round comes right back round for you Can I get a church? 1995 and 97 was the worst Started writin' to escape but I was livin' on a verse Only lookin' forward to the fifteen and the first Told my niggas I don't want to hit a forty with a forty In front of bodegas incarcerated or in a herse Systematically envisioned to imprison me in dirt By the age of 27 I'm just tryna dead a curse 15 I had a vivid conversation with myself And said self you can either kill you or kill a verse Now my verses have verses in burials Scriptures and carols through me when I'm blessed And I am my best me [Chorus: Sylvan LaCue] All I wanna do is be the best me All I wanna do is be the best me All I wanna do is be the best me All I wanna do is be the best me, best me possibly All I wanna do is be the best me All I wanna do is be the best me All I wanna do is be the best me All I wanna do is be the best me, best me possibly
