When you leave, leave in a grumpy,
full of it, pile of it, pile of it, big jump
I run to her for some reason
And they faked me up, and of course tried
For three years, finally a couple said okay
Only a few years after that bitch split
apart when he went and separated
Rock in' the foundation to the beginning
Contemplatin', sendin' me back,
a woman strugglin' to make it on her own
down now they can't shout out her whole family
Till they came through the
robbed I had a grandmother
Road, who loved to mess more
I thought it was funny, but her cooking was for real,
But she had a strange re lationship
That began when I was late to
learn life was even harder
When it was segregation, poor education,
The years went on, we traveled through sight,
An atmosphere stayed tense,
the smallest reason she drank, we fight
In the heat of the moment, sarcastic,
That's why nobody ever wanted
your ass, she was abandoned
Smitty for 1 .13 we take a
And we be swimmin', playin', ballin',
jumpin' all over rocks and shit
They used to say, you need to leave the house,
gotta calm down, avoid the argument
So the next time it happened,
I came back the following mornin'
And it would later turn into
the same story all over again
Every time she drank, it was like, well,
you slept last night, sleep there again
I swam, I got heavily into writin'
Which was seven years in this renaissance,
so the movement had ignited
And I be followin' the stars,
bombin' the streets all night
Then it turned into trying to eat,
not get caught rockin', it's safe to spark it
And in the evening times, I wrote the
through the rhyme just four times, it'll be day
And I'll be ripping the insides and outsides all night waiting,
To gain the greatest respect of all life,
to the elements till I run out of paint
I used to hate the holidays,
it was always a week of tension, the power sticks up
And usually by the second week of
January, things would erupt
Had to hop in on a school night, during a winter storm,
Finally there was no prop to yell,
11pm, 6 inches of foam and
And as I walk through the block I can feel the
people sleepin' as I pass they house
It'll be a three -mile trek to the
Time to plunge into the depth,
go out at that dime, and go on out
When crime is up in the city for the new
year, there's mad cops in location
It was like that as I trekked through the snow
to the next four stations
a damn turnstile anywhere
I liked jacket, no hat or hoodie, or long johns,
rockin' spring gear, freezin'
And if I likin' them at a time
I changed direction, headed to
Brooklyn, through the south of
Finally inside, I spoke to the woman
crying about to lose my mind
I shimmy that toy in the bedroom,
ain't about being a doctor or design
And why has there been so much bad luck
in my life since the beginning
And I'm not seeing light,
there's an ending in sight
God for forgiveness, but I forfeit my life
I turned on the alter room to look like hell
Then I dazed out for a second, then I fell
And I looked up, I saw a little old
TCF top shelf in the stairwell
I had to be about three years old,
world spinnin' out of control
Slumped over the bitches,
waitin' on the train, get out the sticky code
whoever will pull off a giant letter
will be our most supreme king in it
And if I had it my way, that's exactly
And maybe later on I'll warm up racks
and paint to achieve that goal
ment, into the station roll
A whole car, one letter, each car,
And if it's like the cries of the ghetto
I can hear, sorry son, good idea,
but you're a little too late
You care for what you wish for, you can't die,
turn around and want to innovate
The progression of these many
So keep fo cused and always stay positive,
soon you'll learn to conquer the mind
So keep focused and stay positive,
soon you'll learn to conquer the mind
So keep focused and stay positive,
soon you'll learn to conquer the hard times
And the train doors opened
I used to memorize all the real writers and crews
And tonight I call off this succession
of dedication in each man's name
