All I want bu-bu-bu-bu-bu...
|
|
I'm from a city where the go-getters get that gold quick
|
And get that (??) both money and the chicks
|
Nobody has monopoly over prime it
|
So people pull the clips out with no rime in
|
They the pushers but don't have malice though
|
And smoke everything without touching the chalice though
|
IĄ¯m tryin to give a damn ainĄ¯t nobody want it though
|
So I held on to it and they took it personal
|
I lived around crack dealers and preachers
|
Street graduates becoming the teachers
|
Politicians talking they couldn't reach us
|
So we becoming the six oĄ¯clock features
|
DonĄ¯t study me you wonĄ¯t graduate
|
My life is good money you canĄ¯t tabulate
|
Get that dough, but hold your head high
|
A piece ainĄ¯t enough we deserving the whole pie
|
|
Choorus:
|
Damn Mr. Parker you made me this monster
|
Ą¯Cause what donĄ¯t kill me makes me strong
|
And I decide where I belong
|
Damn itĄ¯s my hell yeah got something to tell you
|
If they never made you, they can never break you
|
Just remain the real you, you decide your fate.
|
|
If you can't take the heat, why you got your hand out
|
In Hell's Kitchen the regular never stand out
|
In high school they told me I wouldn't be nothing
|
Wouldn't make it out of turf, wouldn't see nothing
|
ItĄ¯s all my game and made up they mind quick
|
But I would never let the evil in their minds stick
|
Furthermore, some of the hoodlum's I ran with are doctors and lawyers
|
Trick, I hope you're feeling it
|
Watching us on the television with your daughters
|
Say cheese girl, wave to your father
|
What is like is Welcome Back Carter
|
I'm at the ACC with Sean Carter
|
Backstage thinking look at my life now
|
I done did good bought a house in a White town
|
Just so that whenever them White folks talk
|
They gotta respect the rapper who bought the whole block-ahhh!
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
All I need, all I want
|
|
The teachers got the kids from nine to 3
|
But we got em 24 seven and they our POD.
|
So respect my POV
|
One and filling their ears with love that's on me
|
See my driver in the fancy car, that's all me
|
But itĄ¯s only a fraction of who I be
|
Never leave my common sense like no ID
|
What my daddy taught me got me into VIP
|
you see, you see, you see
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
