| [Fabolous humming to the beat] It s easy to look at my life and don t see no pain I remember takin 34 trains to re cocaine Standing in the lobby during sleetsnowrain Waiting for fiends with a pint of beef lomain Breaking day on the grindI used to be so drained But ain t a Saturday I wasn t up to see Soul Train Sometimes I ain t see no gain cause I was runnin to Ralphies everytime my trees showed stains I was lucky I ain t seized or maim Get shot or stuck up standin at them C-Lo games But now shit with these skios changed I ain t know why the they used to look at me so strange Glanced at my neck and didn t see no chain Be saying "That s nasty"wouldn t give me no brain Ya ll surprised F-A-B-O s sane In my rolla lifeI done jumped in and out of 34 lanes I m still here [Chorus] My moma used to tell me "Sonyou re gonna make it one dayit ll happen" Who knew I d have what it takes to be famous and one day I d be rappin - no My papa used to ask me "Sonare you prepared? Cause one day it could happen" I dreamed about this game but who would of believed that one day I d be trapped in - no I just want some peace of mind Nigga s will risk havin cuffs on their wrists for this masterpiece on mine Know that I m a squeeze until the top of my piece recline I can t see myself in back of a Caprice confined But on a small islandtoo far for police to find With girls who look Rican and Guyanese combined I gotta make sure my niece is fine She get every doll for Christmasnew Jordans at Easter-Time Some be like "At least you signed" But that just make is easy to get pointed out at precinct lines All ya ll can see if every piece be dime And I be gettin Nikes before they even get released sometime Youngstersdon t let these videos geese your mind It ain t cool to end up deceased for shine And if you can t get the whole potjust take a piece and grind Hold your headyour stress will cease in time [Chorus] Sometimes I wish I could go way back when I could walk thru and ain t nobody know Jay Jackson Everything was OK back then Now everybody playin a cool role and I know they actin I gotta go back through my ol way packin These wolves know my jewels is filled with O shade Jacksons I don t care as long as my dough stay stackin But these niggas with me be eager to show they Mack 10s And I m the one the PO s stay trackin Plus I got all these ducks around the ol way quackin These hoes may crack grins but I swear to God I won t never take O.J s actions If I would ve let this flow stay packed in I d probably be with Nick and Romespending my whole day shacked in For now I just roll on those eight Jacksons till Clue and Duro brings those gray plaques in Yeah [Chorus] One day it ll happen That One day I d be rappin No One day it could happen One day I d be trapped in No |
