I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck,

I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck,
|
Rather hold my head high and die than living dumb.
|
Remember I was down to die just to live it up,
|
But life's a bitch and I judge it's quickly given up.
|
They say that life is short, several looking through the bars,
|
Gotta keep your head up, I be looking to the stars.
|
I be doing like, wasn't looking for no cause,
|
They ain't kill me, though, now I'm here looking at the scars.
|
Sometimes you get caught by people looking from a far
|
That's how it is when you out here taking cookies from a jar.
|
That's what my son said, they came and took him and his draws
|
He support the family, they took the mama favorite bro.
|
To face, that's my favorite bar,
|
Here's the rainy days they say you should be saving for.
|
But when sun shines no one carries umbrellas
|
And if they did, they be looking dumb like dumbfellas.
|
I'm trying to become some, they probably become jealous,
|
Have a lot to say about it, but afraid to come tell us.
|
I'm here to beat the odds that were set against me,
|
Wished the worst left to anyone who bet against me.
|
I wanna be somebody, somebody that's never been
|
No squares in my circle, best shape I ever been.
|
I'm growing up, my daddy planted a seed,
|
My mama watered me with a plan to succeed.
|
I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds,
|
But I'm here now and I don't play a receipt.
|
Sometimes I think I love to back a right time,
|
Imagine I would've fucked up that night slime.
|
It hurts to even think about it,
|
Would be in the streets, thirsty, trying to get a drink about it.
|
Black pouty, I pull that quarto cinque
|
While they put that iron to your clothes
|
Like I'm taking wrinkles out it.
|
Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson and Lincoln out it,
|
Look you in the eyes and tell you don't you even think about it.
|
So as you're hearing dropping this rhyme,
|
Know that my opportunity couldn't be stopped at a dime.
|
The life you chose come from lack of options in time,
|
Gotta do what you gotta do, even acting a crime.
|
And who am I? Without a name, dropping an arm,
|
Someone who sold a copy and then he just stopped, he just climbed.
|
Someone who get money without dropping a dime
|
Transform to your leader and my optimus prime.
|
So, for dinner you're stopping at prom,
|
Run at your patron, top of the line
|
Hold a€?em up, look at your niggers and say
|
There was no way out, but we figured a way.
|
And now we chill, loaded up a still,
|
I just wish a nigger would but I know a nigger will.
|
But for real, good is how you feel,
|
But as soon as a nigger good is as soon as a nigger will.
|
And we don't own these niggers nothing,
|
Put that in a nigger will, yeah.
|
