Remember Spliff Star? |
| [00:12.98] |
Remember Memphis Bleek? |
| [00:14.36] |
Remember all them side kicks that ain't what's meant for me |
| [00:17.20] |
Big shadows, I think I need more sun, big shadows, big shadows |
| [00:22.73] |
Remember Lil Cease? |
| [00:23.89] |
Remember Murphy lee? |
| [00:25.62] |
No disrespect is meant but dawg that ain't what's meant for me |
| [00:28.39] |
Big shadows, I think I need more sun, big shadows, big shadows |
| [00:34.47] |
I was a youngin', late bloomer |
| [00:36.53] |
Never had recorded writing raps on my computer |
| [00:39.31] |
When I was a shorty, uncle Mark he introducethe |
| [00:42.18] |
Legends of this game, to my ears then I grew up |
| [00:44.99] |
Never thought I'd be a rapper wanted to be Kobe |
| [00:47.82] |
Wasn't good enough for NBA, that hit me slowly |
| [00:50.75] |
Meanwhile I was writing all on message boards |
| [00:53.50] |
Nerdy text battles, backpackers I would join |
| [00:56.24] |
Way before this liquor burned, life took a different turn |
| [00:59.23] |
I started biting Canibus and using bigger words |
| [01:02.21] |
Met a couple other kids they nice as hell damn |
| [01:05.00] |
Thought that I was fly, they got me in a tail spin |
| [01:07.69] |
One of them was named Therapist, thought I was arrogant |
| [01:10.40] |
Cause I won competitions that he thought was unmerited |
| [01:13.36] |
Got a little cooler, had a lot in common |
| [01:15.94] |
Way more than just rhyming, talking how we'd change the climate of this rap game |
| [01:20.14] |
So I put out 'Do The Right Thing' |
| [01:22.74] |
And that shit ain't do a damn thing |
| [01:24.84] |
He dropped The Come Up like a year later |
| [01:26.73] |
Both of us on this journey tryna be some entertainers |
| [01:29.71] |
Months past then he told me them industry heads was talking |
| [01:32.89] |
Tryna get more MySpace friends, hoping they'd log in, discover me |
| [01:36.72] |
But who knew that Jay would discover you? |
| [01:38.92] |
Swear when I heard, I felt that shit like its my 'W' |
| [01:41.57] |
Remember Spliff Star? |
| [01:42.99] |
Remember Memphis Bleek? |
| [01:44.49] |
Remember all them side kicks that ain't what's meant for me |
| [01:47.40] |
Big shadows, I think I need more sun, big shadows, big shadows |
| [01:52.72] |
Remember Lil Cease? |
| [01:54.37] |
Remember Murphy lee? |
| [01:55.58] |
No disrespect is meant but dawg that ain't what's meant for me |
| [01:58.79] |
Big shadows, I think I need more sun, big shadows, big shadows |
| [02:03.92] |
Happiness lasted and now I'm living vicarious |
| [02:06.72] |
That could happen for me, inspiration was my inheritance |
| [02:09.95] |
I dropped a classic verse on this song called The Badness |
| [02:12.34] |
Then gave the internet madness on this song called Enchanted |
| [02:14.99] |
I was buzzing, touring I think I fell in love in London with a girl named Claire |
| [02:19.06] |
But see this world ain't fair |
| [02:20.59] |
Meanwhile I went from omen to his little homie |
| [02:23.25] |
You know his protege or whatever they wanna call me |
| [02:25.79] |
I started getting angry, like damn don't want no more help |
| [02:28.88] |
My foolish pride, suicide, I put that gun on myself |
| [02:32.03] |
Metaphorically |
| [02:33.19] |
Cause the majority saw me as something |
| [02:34.96] |
That historically is not where I want to be when my story peaks |
| [02:38.25] |
They call me AZ, I think I'm more like Nas |
| [02:41.33] |
Lauryn hill but they often treat me like I'm Pras |
| [02:43.89] |
I think I'm top 5 talent wise |
| [02:46.17] |
I may not be on TV screens but the camera lies |
| [02:49.51] |
Remember Spliff Star? |
| [02:50.94] |

| [02:52.43] |

No disrespect is meant but dawg that ain't what's meant for me |
| [03:06.43] |
Big shadows, I think I need more sun, big shadows, big shadows |
| [03:12.10] |
Poor me, poor me, woe is me poetry |
| [03:14.32] |
Damn I'm drowning in my pity, think I need some chlorine, wake up! |
| [03:17.84] |
Boy stop acting like a hoe, there ain't no captain save em' |
| [03:20.72] |
Make it happen by any and all means |
| [03:22.88] |
It's a million that would love to be in my position |
| [03:26.30] |
Had to stop my bullshit that's when I unlocked my vision |
| [03:29.07] |
Elephant eyes adjusting my skies |
| [03:31.34] |
Past wasn't heaven but I had one hell of a time |
| [03:34.17] |
I been blessed, I had fans scream my name in a crowd |
| [03:36.95] |
All around the world so I had to change up my style |
| [03:39.78] |
This is just a platform, up to me to transform |
| [03:42.60] |
Do I focus on the rose or just on the black thorns? |
| [03:45.82] |
Remember Spliff Star? |
| [03:47.15] |
Remember Memphis Bleek? |
| [03:48.58] |
Remember all them side kicks that ain't what's meant for me |
| [03:51.41] |
Big shadows, I think I need more sun, big shadows, big shadows |
| [03:57.11] |
