Ay' yo' Tone hurry up man..
Hurry up man!
You know that clock keep tickin' man...word up

(sighs) Ite' man that's real man

Ite' look

Here we are

Said I been waitin' too long yeahh, yeah
Said I been waitin' too long

Word up man

Ay' man you already know who it is man

That dude that always change his hair up no matter how uncool it is man
That dude that used to hoop in the sac with the ratchet
You better not leave em' open cuz you already know how that gets

Or you prolly know me as the light skin dude in the union that been working for a minute
I should prolly be a building manager by now but I got bigger plans than spendin'
All my time setting up chairs and moving walls for events and
Did I forget to mention that we get paid once a month?
Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up...

Once a month?

I got apartment rent
And other bills
And they want me to budget this for the whole month and expect me to talk about my job and say I love it?

Chill

My momma been workin'
Yeah that's right, I said my mama been workin'

I know yall can relate to the days when
You sat back in a daze and
Thought about how you can't wait when
The time come when ya mom and the
Rest of your family ain't gotta slave man

So yeah... my mama still workin'
And I'm in class, mind hurtin'
Bitin' my nails cuz' it's been a bad habit for years
And sometimes my dad cross my mind cuz' I ain't seen em' in years

I'm posed' to be studious
How rude is it
To be Listening to what the teacher talkin bout', but instead I be foolin with my pen and my paper writing rhymes instead of papers
But to keep real wit' ya
I complete my assignments like the day before and while they say it's procrastination
I say it's cuz I packed my faith in my craft and I'm waiting for that time when I get signed with a label that actually cares about whether or not their investments made it


Ay yo say that again man...
Ay yo say that again man!

Na...Ima chill cuz' you can just press rewind
But what about them times in life when you can't?

And you gettin' older
And you drinkin' too much you don't even remember the last time you was sober

But deep inside like
Beneath the pride right
On the inside of your heart where it's hard to hear unless you pay attention to the whispers you hear a

Voice sayin why you ain't chasin' ya passion?
Ay yo why you ain't makin' it happen?
Why you gettin saddened when people be askin what you gon' do wit' yo degree?

Yeah I know how it feels when all those interviews have another man who bleeds like you
And breaths like you
Talkin' bout "ay yo what can do for me?"
But you just wanna be happy
And in love with the job that's bringin' you money however that be

And you just wanna have a fam one day
You just wanna own some land one day
A nice crib, white picket-fence, lawn, and a pool where you can chill when the weather feel real...

A couple bands in the bank wouldn't hurt, especially after bills and taxes

While the government steady stackin'
And them billboards on the highway talkin' bout' a million to the winner of ticket
But you only got .00000007 chances to get it

Huh

And deep in yo mind you hopin' a random lady with 80 cats don't win it
Ay yoI ain't finished
The government get almost half outta that back
It's kinda like a trap
And they claim another percentage go to education system
Just to build more buildings and more parking decks to have more room for students to get more parking tickets if they don't have a parking pass

Sounds to me like they tryna make us park in debt

Ay I got towed like 25 times since I been in college keep it real wit you

But anyways you 50,000 under when you get diploma
You prolly thinking I'm being negative, but I know you feeling this song bruh

Especially if you go to a school that give you excessive homework that can't really help you in the long run

But ay look man Ima college student and I continue to do this
But best believe me if I could I would take the past and move it
Back to before I applied to this university

Man I probably woulda had more time to watch them pac videos
I probably woulda met more girls that really meant it when they said they not really hoes
But mama said man you gotta watch out for them everywhere

So scratch that

Yeah my past is broken, but I thank God that I can rap that
Put the feelings in a verse, get rid of em', good riddens you in a hearse, you feelin em' the way I'm spilling all my dirt like the wheel burrow too heavy

Ay honestly man I'm too ready

I'm comfortable in my skin like Bruce Jenner with boobs in a blue spaghetti strap swimsuit
I'm gettin' nicer kinda like iverson when he first hit that spin move

I'm learning the truth about the world around me
I had no clue if only Stacey dash was down to teach

All the lies and the tricks looks so astounding
At first glance till you really realize what's really down deep


My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart man, my heart
I rip it apart and I give it to you
Raw so you can feel it movin'

This is really all I got man I saw the spot and I'm aiming at it

What can I really loose if I choose not to let them schools keep my brain in traps man

They say the intro ain't posed to be that long so I guess I did it wrong
Kinda like how this ain't even really a song man


All this stuff you boutta hear I need to warn ya
It starts stormin', it gets dark, it gets cold, and then warm again

I tried to warn em' man


But ay take a peek in ya own heart you might find something too

I'm just tryin somethin new

Huh

You never know man...

Maybe we can relate


Sincerely
