The Other Day

I'd like to take this time out To thank everybody that helped me get to where I'm at today So thank you so, always I'm not the type that likes to think about the time I was broke Reminisce how everybody thought my rhyme was a joke I played it fair while competitors were buyin' they votes But that's life, I ain't cryin', I cope They talk about I owe 'em somethin' but they the ones holdin' me back They the same people bringing me down, Now everytime I hop up on the mic there ain't no holding me back Watch, I'll show y'all the meaning of clown 'til I'm under the ground They don't disrespect or slander my name It takes more than a strong mind to handle the fame I'm walking in one path in this broad, scandalous game If you ain't got no umbrella, don't stand in the rain It gets deep, boys losing they life 'cause of their rappin' Get jacked, lose their car 'cause of they cappin' A lot of cats exaggerate on things that they lackin' But I'm real baby, ain't no actin', just real action A lot of cats exaggerate on things that they lackin' I'm real, it ain't no actin', just real action A lot of cats exaggerate on things that they lackin' I'm real, it ain't no actin', just real action Seems only times when I'm ballin', ballin', ballin', ballin' Foreigns, the Lac is crawling, now hood rats are calling My stacks is tall and to them baps and frauds but hey Where was you at the other day? Never see myself fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' Picture me falling off from rappin', back to starving No Lacs or Foreigns, Gucci hats or Jordans, hey I couldn't ever see the day I wish I could forget how I didn't have a friend in the world More than a dollar to spend on the girl But now these boys talking down 'cause I'm realer than the genuine pearl While they're sweeter than a cinnamon swirl I'm real These boys talking down 'cause I'm realer than the genuine pearl While they're sweeter than a cinnamon swirl I'm real These boys talking down 'cause I'm realer than the genuine pearl While they're sweeter than a cinnamon swirl I'm real, I'm real, I'm real, real, real My whole life I never acted fraud or fate There must have been some kind of large mistake Because I've been stuck out like a broken down garage or gate I paid dues while they charged me hate One thing I learned is no matter, nobody can dodge their fate Don't try to rush life like guards at Florida State Slow down, take your time, god ain't late Do your chores, don't go to war with a rake I'm tryna soar to be great Thats why I'm fly, looking for wealth I don't want to be just another book on the shelf I stopped looking for help when I looked to myself I got the whole world under my belt Seems only times when I'm ballin', ballin', ballin', ballin' Foreigns, the Lac is crawling, now hood rats is calling My stacks is tall and to them baps and frauds but hey Where was you at the other day? Never see myself fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin' Picture me falling off from rappin', back to starving With no Lacs or Foreigns, Gucci hats or Jordans, hey I couldn't ever see the day You won't hear my brag about the struggles I endured as a kid How selfish and ungrateful people got more than I did I did my chores, damn near went to war to be rich They think it's just a, 'cause I'm throwed, more than a pitch I lost a lot of teammates to jealousy and greed Planted seeds and watched them get swallowed up by weeds I'm tryin' to live comfortably and have the things that I need It's true the best things in life are free But I got people in my face that's influenced by hate and pride Hiding behind their ego's, engulfed in lies But I got people in my face that's influenced by hate and pride Hiding behind their ego's, engulfed in lies But I got people in my face that's influenced by hate and pride Hiding behind their ego's, engulfed in lies But I don't walk, looking like my dog just died I couldn't get rid of my smile if I tried My face shine bright, you'll never see my grin grow dim Even when I only had one friend I couldn't dive into the ocean until I taught myself how to swim But I ain't tryin' to think about back then Seems only times when I'm -
