[Intro]
Yeah, heh
You know it's funny

The more things change, the more they stay the same
I'm sittin', watchin' these things around me
People doubting me, people questioning me

But everything's falling into place
Yeah, everything in time, feel me?


[1]
Never thought I'd be this fly, what
Never thought I'd be this tight, what

Never thought I'd have my time, what
Never thought you'd hear me rap, what
Everybody wanna a piece of my cut

That record deal got sour
It's a trip how people change in this game
But it's still the same


[Repeat 1]


Never caught behind, twist-ups of the mind
Why I can't bring that body ?
Flipped it last time, press rewind

Script it, that time, got ya mind
Boys wasn't wit it, had to recline
Laid back, fade back plenty of times

Tommy Boy's filled with plenty of rhymes
Back there ^!$$%s never called me fine
One of the guys that scouts the scene

Roughed up, stuffed up, left the scene
Y'all (*##$es wouldn't never believe
That their ^!$$%s was checkin' for me

Little girl, curls, that was me
Little world, swirls, that was me
Drama unfold, that was me

Drama fun, girls that was me
Scrawny little thing, as a child
Men would chuck, runnin' wild

Me called names?
Not allowed
Gotta be something that was vile

Wide eyed, cried, takin' 'em blowin'
Start ridin', cried, ??
Flip that, start lookin' for shows

Spit that, time I have to go
On the car 'round the block, runnin' with boys
Only girl got Slick McCoy

Had a little crush, name was Troy
Got a little rush, loved the joy
Bent adolescent tryin' to get down

[?] to wearin' a frown
Steady comin' up, wonderin' how
Never been as fly, so look at me now


[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]


Started growin' up, started to bloom
Same damn thing, chased out the storm

E-lay C-lay caught at noon
Write more, fight more, stay in my room
Gettin' with the wrong guy, never again

Get it from the wrong guy, never a friend
Try to go straight, world tryin' to end
No such thing, cuz I'm tryin' to mend

^!$$%s try to see me, never before
(*##$es wanna be me, never before
^!$$%s that would dis me, tryin' to score

(*##$es now jealous of me !@^%
Heard they relay many of lines
Got played, got laid many times

Crushed inhibition, lookin' for signs
Love didn't live here, it was blind


[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

"Who's she?" Everybody askin' me
"Who's she?" Everybody ask to see

Who? Me? Everybody tryin' to be
Game ain't never been a thing to me
Was broke, now tote plenty of G's
Got mad, get with L-O-V
Me be mellow and sweet

[????]
Came up, has lots of luck
Came up, heads like destruct
Write more, don't get stuck
Write more, then make a buck

(*##$ can't be heard, ?or a thing?
Been that %#@!, heard runnin' schemes
Now I'm the hottest thing on the scene
Straight line, got mine, know what I mean?
Keep it on top, not a raid

Hope it don't fly, masquerade..
Myself from them days of play
Stories like this that I relate
Hopin' that, don't start to slip
Hopin' that, can keep a grip
Write rhymes that I can flip

Motha$#&@in' business, it's a trip
Learned that life ain't a game
Passed up, passed by, it's a shame
Never let ya life go insane
Time go by, it's chain
Look up, look by, it remains
Still be sittin' there, still complain

Gold digger's dream ??
Look up at the sky, say my name
