|
I feel like I'm ahead of my time, like I'm ahead lets rewind
|
I feel like I've never felt feel like I'm ahead of my prime
|
I feel like my feelings feel like they maybe feel intertwined
|
'tween incognito and shine I'm being caught in the lime
|
feel like I'm stuck in a fight when the future ain't feelin bright
|
I put the pencil down, feeling unwanted, and go on strike
|
but then I'm struck by the light that ain't how you properly strike
|
but the ball be over the plate and they still don't call it a strike
|
I mean I honestly try, I feel like I try in vain
|
start doin a lil different shit always just stay the same
|
theres a good in every bad when theres loss I know theres gain
|
I appreciate the love but I'm living with all the pain
|
I hate when the sun is out, but love whenever it rains
|
and God be sending me signs like my future is preordained
|
my timing keep gettin fucked, the wires still havent came
|
and all I do is object but my shit ain't never sustained
|
wonder if I keep on trying then will I finally attain
|
wonder if I'll ever feel like I got nobody to blame, MAYNE!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
How's everybody doin out there?
|
y'all good?..
|
I'm great

|
I told mommy when I was five that I would strive to be a lawyer
|
or a doctor took the opt. to hangin out with the mobsters
|
now he's a hip hop'sta, no more general Tso's
|
orderin shrimp and lobster mommy look at how I prospered
|
look at what I've become but still I feel like a bum
|
emotional strain can't be replaced by any son
|
emotionally drained, insides prolly look like a slum
|
just give me a bag of weed, just give me a shot of rum
|
no better yet give me none, no mommy I won't succumb
|
not that- almost forgot I stopped that when I was young
|
some people do it for pleasure some people do it for fun
|
but I remember it well, that dust used to have 'em strung
|
I wonder what I've become but why am I overlooked
|
I want 'em to understand but still I'm misunderstood
|
I keep on taking suggestions I'm wondering if I should
|
I know you see the potential, I know you see that I could
|
bumpin Ludacris, 'Child Of The Night' was well put
|
why is everything so BAD for me FEEL so GOOOOODDDD
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I hope everybody still aight..

I know niggaz that never made it everybody would sweat him
|
he jumped out the whole park, NBA never met him
|
what good is being open if the guards never fed him
|
he'd have been the illest nigga but niggaz just never let him
|
maybe Trey'll grow up and be somewhat of a star
|
wearing all the latest things and pushin the latest cars
|
maybe he'll hold me down same way I do for my father
|
or really resent me feel like why should he even bother
|
maybe me and his momma will finally jjust get along
|
maybe not- but the idea sounds good in a song
|
maybe one day the world'll see how great he performs
|
long journey to walk on my feet to take the corns
|
open my mind, say you was right and I was wrong
|
nah that's wrong one day I'll rightfully right my wrongs
|
and start over anew like that one night I was born
|
show a girl I really care, one day that pride'll be gone
|
See he overcame alot, he just the same as his pops
|
So one day he'll be alright when that rain finally stops, C'MON!!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
how's everybody feelin out there?
|
huh?
|
aaaoooowwww
|
huh?
|

|
maybe y'all ain't hear me
|
are you in that mood yet???!!
|

|
I know I am
|

|

|

|
