[length: 03:40]
[00:12.93]Tell me, what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah)
[00:15.38]Got a lot on my mind
[00:16.86]Hopin’ I never be goin’ out of my mind
[00:18.52]Been tryna mature without growin’ out of my prime
[00:20.47]I thought I was ready, it really wasn’t my time
[00:22.02]I know, I live in my head
[00:24.16]I said I’d be rich and I did what I did
[00:25.60]But I don’t do this shit for me, I do this shit for my kids
[00:27.27]I teach ’em how to go and get it when they ready to leave
[00:28.93]Been tired of livin’ up in hell when I know heaven is free
[00:30.66]And nothin’ really more important than protectin’ they peace
[00:32.66]I wanna teach ’em how to grow up and be better than me
[00:34.71]When I was chasin’ all the paper, with no second to breathe
[00:35.99]And I tell myself to never give up and accept the defeat
[00:37.53]And my premonitions already written indefinitely
[00:39.52]But I never listen, I know my vision and never could see
[00:41.07]And truthfully, I wasn’t even supposed to make it this far (ayy)
[00:43.52]Or take it this far
[00:44.93]I know that God got me, I’m thankin’ Him for it (yeah)
[00:46.94]Soon as I get it, then I’ll be payin’ Him for it
[00:48.73]You know you made it when all the haters support (haters support)
[00:51.49]The haters support (yeah)
[00:52.29]Joyner been workin’ and I ain’t takin’ no shorts
[00:53.79]When they tell me be humble, then I’ma take in too far
[00:55.66]Shit, I used to feel like Will, now I’m feelin’ like, uh
[00:57.86]Made mistakes, can’t get it right, yeah
[00:59.23]Niggas can’t stand me, I’m livin’ like, oh
[01:01.14]Tryna win the Grammy like Killer Mike, uh
[01:03.34]I’m a underdog like Killer Mike, yeah
[01:04.92]Took a lot of L’s tryna win the fight, oh
[01:06.57]Got back up, I’m still alright, yeah
[01:08.08]I’ll be alright, I’m still alright, yeah
[01:09.20]And I don’t really care ’bout nothin’ except for keepin’ my legacy
[01:11.24]Hopin’ I’ll be livin’ long enough to see what the end’ll be
[01:13.10]Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me
[01:14.97]I wish they could look inside my soul and see what they did to me (brrr)
[01:16.76]I got a fire inside me and it’s seepin’ within me
[01:18.57]When I look inside the mirror, all I see is the little me
[01:20.37]Wishin’ I could break out, but I hope the evil don’t hinder me
[01:21.93]If I overcome it, then I’ll be achievin’ the victory, yeah
[01:24.90]What you really want? What it really is?
[01:25.73]I remember livin’ my life with a milly fears
[01:27.60]Over the years, I thought I had a million ideas
[01:29.12]So I had to find peace and release nonsense
[01:31.03]I do it for the art, not the content
[01:32.84]All I really wanted was acceptance
[01:33.84]Now as a man, I can vent this, fuck that, end this
[01:36.21]Do what you love in this life, don’t let hate in your life
[01:38.16]No, don’t work for a job ’til you 80, then look back like
[01:40.08]Goddamn, I really done gave ’em my life
[01:41.66]If I save just one life with this verse, then it’s worth it
[01:43.79]If this is your future, you need to reverse it
[01:45.37]Ain’t nobody perfect
[01:46.55]Man, fuck all that cake, it ain’t worth it
[01:47.88]Just take what you buried deep down and unearth that
[01:49.74]I know that you heard it
[01:50.72]The voice from within, not above, so do what you love
[01:52.22]Ain’t no way I could keep it up feelin’ this feelin’
[01:54.08]It’s creepin’ up, tellin’ me I will not be enough
[01:55.87]No, wasn’t bein’ me enough
[01:56.94]I think I see enough of what I don’t want in my life
[01:59.36]Give a damn if it’s right, it’s the reason I write
[02:00.85]Need a reason to fight ’cause I need it in sight
[02:02.84]With these monsters in sight, it get darker than what I would like
[02:04.70]But I know I’m alright
[02:05.26]Ain’t no way that you could never know my struggle
[02:06.71]As a child, goin’ through shit way harder than blowin’ out a bubble
[02:08.98]I would know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability
[02:11.13]The water that was flowin’ out a funnel
[02:12.58]I could channel the aggression and depression
[02:13.91]For only a moment when I had to realize rappin’ ain’t it
[02:15.84]When there wasn’t no more money from a record deal
[02:17.72]I couldn’t get another one, so I was about to quit
[02:19.51]Had to get a job
[02:20.56]Didn’t wanna be a slob, even though I would rather be spittin’ bars
[02:22.67]Then one day, somebody saw me at work and said
[02:24.95]”Twista, why are you in here washin’ cars?”
[02:26.51]That hurt my heart
[02:27.47]That shit tore me apart
[02:28.92]So I prayed up to God
[02:29.89]That if I ever got another chance at music, I won’t take it for granted
[02:31.93]I’ma dunk if I get the lob
[02:33.52]Ran into AK from Do Or Die
[02:35.17]He said, “Come to the studio, I’ma put you on a song”
[02:36.89]”Start my new gig in the mornin’, but I’ma come after”
[02:39.00]This is my chance to get back on
[02:40.61]Thankful that I was livin’ at my brother’s house
[02:42.72]But I want my own, so I’ma finna go in
[02:44.42]I walked in the lab and the beat was by Trackster
[02:46.50]Title of the song was “Po Pimp”
[02:47.99]I said, “Ooh, snap”
[02:48.96]I told ’em I’m about to jack
[02:50.36]Spit it funky like I’m a Mac
[02:51.84]I’ma come off so hard on this track
[02:52.91]It’s gon’ change my condition and change the way people rap
[02:55.07]Might be broke as shit and ain’t collectin’ no dough from tips
[02:57.61]But I be spittin’ more game than a mouth full of poker chips
[02:59.62]And I was glad that the world recognized how dope this is
[03:01.94]And the prayer was effective
[03:02.74]If you stressed and depressed, then let this calm and soak in your brain
[03:05.51]First time that I ever played “Po Pimp” for somebody, I was on the way to work on the train
[03:08.65]And I didn’t quit it until the record was droppin’
[03:10.48]But when I did it, I knew it was right
[03:12.13]’Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words
[03:13.96]It gets darker than what I would like, but I know I’m alright
[03:30.75]Tapes that s–
