Amar, Amar, c'mon. |
|
Yeah Dad, what? |
|
Hope you did your homework already. |
|
I did that already, c'mon |
|
Dad. Nah, it's time to go to... |
|
C'mon listen... |
|
What happened? |
|
I went to school today |
|
I said AZ's my daddy, they said, "Jay-Z? Nas?" |
|
What, what? |
|
Tell me the story again? |
|
Ok, ok. Aight, this is how it went down... |
|
We talkin' a few years before you even appeared |
|
I was into my little gear, yeah **** and my beer |
|
Hustlin out of fear, fear of bein' a ****** |
|
Like them cowards with no gear they just breathin' the air, son clear, but didn't realize life ain't fair with one drive-by, it could end your life right there though |
|
I'm a fly guy from [?] my knife's like chyeah |
|
**** the world we can fight right |
|
I don't scare from beer no more nigh**ares here not a tear |
|
I was strighter than the white man's hair |
|
Met Nasir, had that hype that jeer |
|
Like a kite, threw me a mic |
|
I took flight right there that ain't lies |
|
I was nice |
|
I swear went fool with the jewels, even iced my ears |
|
New school, |
|
I was cool, wanted righteous wears |
|
But from the door they didn't like that there, |
|
I ain't care as long as |
|
I left the china white right there and understood that you could change a life through prayer it's all good police even politely stared |
|
Was unreal, but still now it feels slightly weird |
|
I was spared gave love, taught my peers though it was buff, never gave up, fought my fears |
|
Now it's like "what?" |
|
I'm G'ed up, awesome blair entertainer from the streets with a sportsman's flair |
|
Yeah, that's good enough for you? |
|
Dad, Dad, what's "G'ed up?" |
|
Listen man, don't worry about that now, just go to sleep |
|
Ok, ok. I'll tell you that later on. |
|
But you know what? |
|
What, what what? |
|
I got one more quick story to tell you. |
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. |
|
Maybe you could take this story, and tell your friends at school this one: |
|
Heeeeere we go! |
|
Out the gate, he who hate himself ain't straight he a snake, he the type who send himself upstate catch a case for a plate he ain't have to take, he coulda |
|
Played it safe, said his grace and ate but it's fate [Fades...] |
