man i is

Yeah Paper chasin' on occasion West Deer Park, that's my location Life and death was what we was facin' Boy, gotta get that motivation Back in the basement Look at my idols, I'm feelin' adjacent Doin' the shit that I wish I was doing, I'm feelin' impatient Throwin' parties and catching cases That's the life, but that shit basic I've cooked crack, I can't erase it If I could, would not replace it Grew up all alone Had to teach myself to tie my laces What's the deal? I'ma play the field Rattpack, we keep it real Nothin' but love for the people that paved the way So a brother like me, he can get it today Antwan, Erykah and 3K Can't forget those ain't here today R.I.P. JD and Pimp C Payin' respect, so don't hold it against me Devil he callin' me, he love to tempt me God exempt me, why you sent me here? What I think about year to year What I've been through these people only see through a peep hole, yeah Not a single one got an idea So I write it down on this page Feel like I'm 35 times my age Look in the mirror don't know what to say But I'm happy the man I is [Verse 2] Yeah, yeah I said I'm happy the man I is And I'm proud of the man I've become I'm proud that I'm from a slum I never got cold, I never got numb Except from the winter time and then some I transcend and I transform Poetic vision in rare form Growing up, nobody there for him I promise when I have a family I'ma be there for 'em I love hip-hop Hatin' motherfucker, go kick rocks No matter what happen I never gon' stop Like Cole said if they don't know yo' dreams Then they can't shoot 'em down But I'ma let the world know 'Cause I'm too high up to hit the ground This shit right here is like therapy, spit it verily I ain't perfect, I got problems, I got issues like People magazine Shoot from the hip and reload the magazine I wish I could just go on forever, forever, ever and ever But this rhyme Ill as it is divine Be gon' cut short today 'cause I'm out of studio time Only thought I was recording these horns and not no rhyme What can I say? Inspiration hits at anytime So I guess I'll have to conclude all my thoughts another time Another rhyme Another— Ano— i— wo— a— rhyme [Outro: Thalia] Anime such as Cowboy Bebop Trigun, and Samurai Champloo Were in constant rotation During the making of this album
