[00:13.39] Yeah, these cats still don't get it, know what I'm saying? Tell em like this.
[00:21.35] Lights out, it's over, can't push this boulder
[00:23.96] Jaded and faded is this concrete soldier
[00:26.62] Rhymes getting deeper now as I get older
[00:29.80] And fate is the weight bearing down on my shoulders
[00:32.15] Everyday I ponder life and time
[00:34.44] Amazed how fast the movie passes by
[00:36.87] It was like yesterday when I was on my block
[00:38.90] With my boys on the corner trying to beatbox
[00:42.24] It was like last week when I got my new bike
[00:44.72] Jumping hills on my dead end until we lost sunlight
[00:47.63] See I knew I'd be special in life
[00:49.73] Cause I'm a father to sons, husband to a wife
[00:52.49] But my passion still be the beats and mics
[00:54.83] See I'm in college on the weekend, the studio at night
[00:57.59] Writing on breaks, jotting down my mistakes
[01:00.24] Successes and all else that takes place
[01:02.93]
[01:04.90] This world gives you nothing for nothing
[01:07.51] Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[01:08.56] When it comes down it goes around
[01:10.94] It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[01:12.58]
[01:13.93] But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[01:16.28] Going on seek my page
[01:18.31] Reminisce on days past
[01:21.17] Holding on but it just won't last
[01:22.90]
[01:24.13] This world gives you nothing for nothing
[01:26.01] Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[01:28.53] When it comes down it goes around
[01:31.12] It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[01:32.68]
[01:34.22] But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[01:36.94] Going on seek my page
[01:38.84] Reminisce on days past
[01:41.40] Holding on but it just won't last
[01:44.14] Yo not much dough but this cat still flows
[01:46.55] Been down and out and spent some time in the last row
[01:49.12] Persistence, it be my middle name
[01:51.99] No shame in my game in the pursuit of fame
[01:54.54] You take shorts? You end up short
[01:56.56] So recognise ain't no lies when you look into my eyes
[01:59.48] Dressed proper, well-schooled like a doctor
[02:02.04] Golden-aged hip hopper, nine-to-five show stopper
[02:04.64] Grown-ass man doing what he can
[02:07.26] Dreams shattered by years working for the man
[02:09.79] Been knocked down but always got up
[02:12.41] Been myself but still got labelled like a product
[02:14.92] Most stay down until you hit a cliff
[02:17.58] Some rich people still think life's a *****
[02:20.12] Get busy dying or work on how you live
[02:22.68] See life through my kids, stay doing it ya dig
[02:24.06]
[02:25.35] This world gives you nothing for nothing
[02:27.88] Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[02:30.44] When it comes down it goes around
[02:33.02] It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[02:35.44]
[02:36.18] But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[02:38.88] Going on seek my page
[02:40.85] Reminisce on days past
[02:43.34] Holding on but it just won't last
[02:45.19] This world gives you nothing for nothing
[02:48.51] Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[02:51.04] When it comes down it goes around
[02:54.03] It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[02:56.31] But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[02:59.53] Going on seek my page
[03:01.44] Reminisce on days past
[03:04.01] Holding on but it just won't last
[03:05.96]
[03:06.77] The saga seen back and wait for it had happen
[03:09.20] And when I look over it seems like everybody's laughing
[03:12.16] Remember high school when people asked where you see yourself in five years?
[03:15.02] Your type of career? A doctor, a lawyer, maybe a cop
[03:19.62] A CEO if you're the type to try to make it to the top
[03:22.07] Work for the state and not go to college
[03:24.74] And try to get by on this real world knowledge
[03:27.14] Join the army to pay for school
[03:29.66] But see anything that you avoid just ain't cool
[03:32.25] Now it's CL baby and everything is gravy CL：
[03:35.34] Been around for a minute now you can't phase me
[03:37.62] Life is love so love your life
[03:40.07] Once a lifetime doesn't happen twice
[03:42.66] Live today because today we live
[03:45.25] Live to love and love how you live
[03:45.94]
[03:48.25] This world gives you nothing for nothing
[03:50.41] Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[03:53.08] When it comes down it goes around
[03:55.53] It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[03:57.98]
[03:58.83] But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[04:00.80] Going on seek my page
[04:03.29] Reminisce on days past
[04:05.87] Holding on but it just won't last
[04:07.19]
[04:08.50] This world gives you nothing for nothing
[04:11.05] Gotta stand tall, stand for something
[04:13.56] When it comes down it goes around
[04:16.20] It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
[04:18.53]
[04:18.95] But I stay right, no shame, self-made
[04:21.42] Going on seek my page
[04:23.95] Reminisce on days past
[04:26.49] Holding on but it just won't last
[04:29.28]
[04:30.32] Yo man, this world gives you nothing for nothing
[04:33.39] No fronting
