I'm just, tryin to stay above water y'know |
| [00:04.61] |
Just stay busy, stay workin |
| [00:04.99] |
Puff told me like, the key to this joint |
| [00:09.24] |
The key to staying, on top of things |
| [00:12.98] |
is treat everything like it's your first project, knahmsayin? |
| [00:15.27] |
Like it's your first day like back when you was an intern |
| [00:18.26] |
Like, that's how you try to treat things like, just stay hungry |
| [00:19.29] |
Uhh, uhh, yes, yes |
| [00:22.09] |
Y'all wanna know, why he don't stop |
| [00:23.46] |
Y'all wanna know, why he don't flop |
| [00:25.29] |
Let me tell you pe-eople why |
| [00:27.00] |
Came from the bottom of the block I |
| [00:28.40] |
When I was born, it was sworn, I was never gon' be shit |
| [00:29.43] |
Had to pull the opposite out this bitch |
| [00:31.71] |
Had to get my ri-ide on |
| [00:32.91] |
Eyes on the prize, Shawn knew I had to |
| [00:36.10] |
Had to had to get these chips |
| [00:37.68] |
Had to make moves like Olajuwon |
| [00:39.30] |
Started out sellin dimes and nicks |
| [00:40.40] |
Graduated to a brick |
| [00:41.65] |
No exaggeration, my infatuation with the strip |
| [00:42.80] |
Legendary like a schoolboy |
| [00:44.02] |
Crushin merely nearly every every chick |
| [00:46.92] |
Heavy shit - that's how schoolboy got whipped |
| [00:50.57] |
And got left on some "Just +Me, Myself and I+" |
| [00:52.55] |
On some Trugoy shit |
| [00:53.49] |
Had your boys threw place up, to a place of no return |
| [00:55.76] |
Had to play with fire and get burned |
| [00:57.50] |
Only way the boy ever gon' learn |
| [00:59.16] |
Had to lay way in the cut, 'til I finally got my turn |
| [01:01.35] |
Now I'm on top in the spot that I earned |
| [01:04.67] |
It's my life - it's my pain and my struggle |
| [01:07.20] |
The song that I sing to you it's my ev-ery-thing |
| [01:12.10] |
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first |
| [01:14.93] |
And my thirst is the same as - when I came |
| [01:18.22] |
It's my joy and my tears and the laughter it brings to me |
| [01:22.21] |
It's my ev-ery-thing |
| [01:23.57] |
Like I never rode in a limo |
| [01:24.86] |
Like I just dropped flows to a demo |
| [01:26.47] |
Like it's ninety-two again and |
| [01:28.38] |
And I got O's in the rental |
| [01:29.61] |
Back in the Stu' again, no prob' livin was a whole lot simpler |
| [01:32.25] |
When you think back, you thought that |
| [01:34.01] |
you would never make it this far, then you |
| [01:35.67] |
take advantage of the luck you handed |
| [01:37.23] |
Or the talent, you been given |
| [01:39.04] |
Ain't no, half steppin, ain't no, no slippin |
| [01:41.75] |
Ain't no different from a block that's hidden |
| [01:43.14] |
Gotta get it while the getting's good |
| [01:44.34] |
Gotta strike while the iron's hot, 'fore you stop |
| [01:46.07] |
Then you gotta bid it, good riddance |
| [01:47.87] |
Goodbye, this is my second major breakup |
| [01:50.62] |
My first was, with a pager |
| [01:52.02] |
With a hooptie, a cookpot, and the GAME |
| [01:55.07] |
This one's with the stool, with the stage, with the fortune |
| [01:58.07] |
Maybe not the fortune, but certainly the FAME |
| [01:59.88] |
It's my life - my pain and my struggle |
| [02:03.25] |
The song that I sing to you it's my ev-ery-thing |
| [02:06.95] |
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first |
| [02:10.14] |
And my thirst is the same as - when I came |
| [02:13.46] |
It's my joy and my tears and my laughter it brings to me |
| [02:17.44] |
It's my ev-ery-thing |
| [02:19.48] |
Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first |
| [02:23.26] |
And my thirst like the first song I sang |
| [02:25.32] |
Woo! |
| [02:28.29] |
It's like the blues - we gon' ride out on this one |
| [02:30.73] |
