Lyrics

Uh. Neighborhood bike thief The one I took chain loose Trying get away Dog snapping at my ankles All day thugging Got fat booty number Beat my moms home Doing homework under covers Uncle said, "you be doing knucklehead shit" My cousin said, "you be doing knucklehead Shit My mom said, "aht, don't make me pop you Again" I just wanna do hoodrat shit with my friends Not having a father around yea that'll do it I wondered why the fuck am i here? I felt useless That's why I brag about shit That ain't bragworthy Like rocking the new Al's That match the jersey And I just wanna make my mother proud I rather be a founder and an owner More than a rider I don't just drive around I got a destination I hustle to the point of perspiration Ambition Some people have ambitions as a rider But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver They try to play me low but I aim higher And be a man my people could admire Some people have ambitions as a rider But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver They try to play me low but I aim higher And be a man my people could admire I used to lie awake in bed Feelin' like I never did enough Some people's cups runneth over Mine is fillin' up I went to school while my homies out there whippin' up School of hard rocks And the system try and trip you up Tell you that an athlete or rapper-entertainer is the only way You can ever be an innovator Lemme give you a disclaimer I'ma verbal gladiator, future lawyer-legislator I'ma do you all a favor When I rise to a level where the highs are more than treble I'll defy all the minds that imply or deny That I really ain't that guy With the spirit of a rebel Runnin' fades with the devil I should really get a medal I am not what you expect Please respect my intellect So you better come correct And that means come with a check I ain't settlin' for less So if you want it, be direct Conversations with my mirror I'm the best I ever met Some people have ambitions as a rider But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver They try to play me low but I aim higher And be a man my people could admire Some people have ambitions as a rider But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver They try to play me low but I aim higher And be a man my people could admire Here I go for adolescence I was told I was I was blessing I was precious as a stone Later on alone reflecting On the message n that setting It was was said And the reasons I was told I was told be better go two times Harder than go Never sweat in silk hands on the wheel Eyes on the road Its imposter in potholes it's Impossible to know On the way you gone see hate In different places that you go Be warned u wasn't born With the protection of complexion Yo melanin unsettling You settle in Keep yo blinders Follow signs until it's time Lock the doors don't let the devil in Roger that. then watch yo back Like television... cause they'll Run u off the road fa the recognition Detour thru thief lawyers n politicians Be sure if you reach for it trying to kill you I'm trying to steer ya...
