[00:18.932]La-la-la
[00:22.201]La-la-la-la-la-la
[00:25.472]La-la-la (Yeah)
[00:28.727]La-la-la-la-la-la (Yeah)
[00:30.956]I grew up a **** screw up, tie my shoe up
[00:34.265]Wish they was newer, damn, need something newer
[00:36.806]In love with the baddest girl in the city, I wish I knew her
[00:40.381]I wish I wasn't so shy, wish I was a bit more fly
[00:43.184]I wish that I could tell her how I really feel inside
[00:46.441]That I'm the perfect **** for her, but then, maybe that's a lie
[00:49.749]She like a certain type of ****, and it's clear I'm not that guy
[00:53.082]Ball player, star player, I'm just watchin' from the side
[00:56.329]On the bench 'cause my lack of confidence won't let me fly
[00:59.599]I ain't grow up with my father, I ain't thinkin' 'bout that now
[01:02.794]Fast forward four years or so from now, I'll probably cry
[01:06.105]When I realize what I missed, but as of now, my eyes are dry
[01:09.362]'Cause I'm tryna stay alive in the city where too many **** die
[01:13.253]Dreamin' quiet, tryna dodge a suit and tie
[01:15.724]Who am I? (La-la-la)
[01:18.865]Aye, who am I? (La-la-la-la-la-la)
[01:22.966]Things change, rearrange and so do I
[01:26.129]It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie
[01:29.346]I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
[01:32.601]I might bend a little bit, but I don't fold
[01:35.984]One time for my mind and two for yours
[01:39.067]I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
[01:42.470]If you see my tears fall, just let me be
[01:45.700]Move along, nothing to see
[01:47.234]I always did **** the hard way
[01:49.310]My **** **** slangin' in the hallway
[01:51.963]Burnt CD's and trees like this was Broadway
[01:55.105]Times Square, kept the dimes there in the locker
[01:58.099]Some Reggie Miller with more brown hairs than Chewbacca
[02:01.523]Whispers that he got it for the low-low, sell a
[02:04.346]Dime for a dub, them white boys ain't know no better
[02:07.438]Besides, what's twenty dollars to a **** like that?
[02:10.726]He tell his pops he need some lunch and he gon' get it right back
[02:14.001]I peeped game, got home, snatched my mama keychain
[02:17.409]Took her whip, the appeal too ill to refrain
[02:20.515]I hit the boulevard, pull up to my **** front door
[02:23.664]His mama at home, she still let 'em hit the ****, though
[02:26.862]I told her, "Hello", and sat with my **** and laughed
[02:30.108]And talked about how we gon' smash all the **** in class
[02:33.455]I complimented how I see him out here getting his cash
[02:36.729]And just asked, "What a **** gotta do to get that?
[02:39.889]Put me on," he just laughed when he seen I was sure
[02:43.281]Seventeen years breathing, his demeanor said more
[02:46.330]He told me, "****, you know how you sound right now?
[02:49.676]You wasn't my mans, I would think that you a clown right now
[02:52.908]Listen, you everything I wanna be, that's why I **** with you
[02:56.889]So how you looking up to me when I look up to you?
[03:00.089]You 'bout to go get a degree, I'ma be stuck with two choices
[03:03.705]Either graduate to weight or selling number two
[03:06.553]For what? A hundred bucks or two a week?
[03:09.007]Do you think that you would know what to do if you was me?
[03:12.238]I got four brothers, one mother that don't love us
[03:16.386]If they ain't want us, why the **** they never wore rubbers?"
[03:19.588]I felt ashamed to have ever complained
[03:22.087]About my lack of gear and thought about how far we done came
[03:25.253]From trailer park to a front yard with trees in the sky
[03:28.668]Thank you mama, dry your eyes, it ain't no reason to cry
[03:31.840]You made a genius, and I ain't gon' take it for granted
[03:34.921]I ain't gon' settle for lesser, I ain't gon' take what they handed
[03:38.263]Nah, I'm gon' take what they owe me and show you that I can fly
[03:41.488]And show old girl what she missing, the illest **** alive
[03:44.755]Aye, who am I?
[03:45.728]Things change, rearrange and so do I (Aye, who am I?)
[03:48.846]It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie (Who am I?)
[03:52.095]I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
[03:55.281]I might bend a little bit, but I don't fold
[03:58.657]One time for my mind and two for yours
[04:01.766]I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
[04:05.207]If you see my tears fall, just let me be
[04:08.387]Move along, nothing to see
[04:10.324]I never felt better
