Listen |
| [00:17.111] |
Come here for a minute |
| [00:18.405] |
let me borrow your ear |
| [00:19.474] |
I was just a little kid |
| [00:20.776] |
I heard it perfectly clear |
| [00:22.015] |
Got a chip planted on my neck when I was six |
| [00:24.524] |
And ever since, I've been tripping off this music itch |
| [00:27.077] |
I couldn't sleep, television screen kept me awake |
| [00:29.578] |
My brothers' 808 booming in a room full of crates |
| [00:32.012] |
I couldn't wait |
| [00:33.458] |
Plus I was late for the school bus |
| [00:35.058] |
Rhyming in the mirror with my Spider-Man toothbrush |
| [00:37.444] |
Divine and Everlast in the back of the hut |
| [00:39.829] |
I'm talking '89 and I'm still packing a lunch |
| [00:42.384] |
Sounds crazy, but really seemed to happen as such |
| [00:44.928] |
Whoever thought that I would do it with this passion and gut |
| [00:47.540] |
I don't know, but it hit me |
| [00:48.982] |
(Oh) All of a sudden, I got the globe rocking with me |
| [00:51.509] |
(Yeah) Now we clubbing and all the girls wanna kiss me |
| [00:54.112] |
Says she loves it, but she's really not listening |
| [00:56.621] |
Damn, what's up with that? |
| [00:58.267] |
You want to play the role? (Yes) |
| [00:59.593] |
Like you ain't a ho? (Yes) |
| [01:00.933] |
But you probably heard the single on the radio (Damn!) |
| [01:03.475] |
Now it's all love (Yes) |
| [01:04.700] |
Got a strong buzz (Yes) |
| [01:05.964] |
But she didn't know my name thirty days ago (Damn!) |
| [01:08.541] |
Oh, you heard of us? (Yes) |
| [01:09.822] |
Let me hear you say (Yes) |
| [01:11.124] |
Roll 'em up, I was tellin' you in '98 |
| [01:13.562] |
But that was all planned, now its a logjam |
| [01:15.683] |
With haters in the place yellin' "God-" (Damn!) |
| [01:18.658] |
To all the people down since the beginning |
| [01:20.737] |
Yo, we never wore the crown, you insisted we get it |
| [01:23.222] |
Bought the record every day, never trip what it costed |
| [01:25.632] |
All you wanted was to put some more chips in my pocket |
| [01:28.183] |
Way before the world tour and overseas and big stuff |
| [01:30.981] |
When Cheapshot was still spinnin' valley bar mitzvahs (haha) |
| [01:33.823] |
You always had a seat, rollin' right there with us (uh-huh) |
| [01:36.103] |
In the car, drinkin' 40s out in front of them shit clubs |
| [01:38.832] |
You remember then? |
| [01:40.114] |
Twenty-five fans would line up |
| [01:41.261] |
But nobody gave a fat frog's ass who I was |
| [01:43.467] |
Time's up, nine months later put the smack down |
| [01:46.375] |
Sign to Machine Shop, Warner got my back now |
| [01:48.975] |
Funny how they all flipped up when they see me |
| [01:51.359] |
"Yeah, he think he doing big shit 'cos he on TV" |
| [01:53.815] |
Yeah, but that was all planned, like it or not man |
| [01:56.592] |
You hatin' from the couch, going "God-" (Damn!) |
| [01:59.566] |
You want to play the role? (Yes) |
| [02:00.956] |
Like you ain't a ho? (Yes) |
| [02:02.186] |
But you probably heard the single on the radio (Damn!) |
| [02:04.703] |
Now it's all love (Yes) |
| [02:06.025] |
Got a strong buzz (Yes) |
| [02:07.328] |
But she didn't know my name thirty days ago (Damn!) |
| [02:09.826] |
Oh, you heard of us? (Yes) |
| [02:11.199] |
Let me hear you say (Yes) |
| [02:12.476] |
Roll 'em up, I was tellin' you in '98 |
| [02:14.989] |
But that was all planned, now its a logjam |
| [02:17.153] |
With haters in the place yellin' "God-" (Damn!) |
