Y
'all came up in the 80s,
so the Reagan era made me crack
Came in through the borders
and it came out through the babies
Lately I've been building my name,
I ain't need Barack Obama
just to make me a change
I do my thing on my own,
soul chef beats feed my Jones
I get blown cause collectors
never leave me alone
Y 'all used to live wrong
but now I'm trying to get right
I've seen a lot of death,
so I appreciate life
But if I was from the sticks
and not life in a fast
Then I'd probably be at Yale
like on top of the class
Instead I lay it down for all
my family and friends
That peace to all my haters,
love the folks in the pen
I ain't never been,
and I don't plan on going in
But I'm in school to get them out,
cause I see what this life about
I'm getting several years
from rolling in 20 blues
If I was in a war zone,
man, I'd be carrying two, it's
It's the truth
I'm not the same as I was in my youth
I'm not just talking game,
I'm living proof
It's not hard to understand
how to maintain and walk like a man,
it's the truth
I'm not the same as I was in my youth
I'm not just talking game,
I'm living proof
It's not hard to understand
how to maintain and walk like a man
Don't judge a book by its cover,
I am no typical brother
I'm a man in many struggles,
but find ways to juggle
My wallet, my music,
my wife and my children
Truly focused on my future,
moving through all this bullshit
Life is moving fast,
there's no time to lollygag
My verses serve a purpose,
that's a service I'm giving back
Save the accolades,
I'm laying the groundwork
When I vanish on your planet
with the legends who did it first
Proto -soul shower,
feeding food to the soul
Leave a mark on your psyche
every time I compose
The Vox merged with Soul
Chef on the beat
Elemental kamikaze,
now my circle's complete
Peep what I'm saying, I'm just saying
I ain't playing if you listen
what I'm saying
Maybe radio will play it,
convey it to the masses
Be massive like Mastiff,
at tract them like magnets
It's classic, you bastards
It's the truth,
I'm not the same as I was in my youth
I'm not just talkin' game,
I'm livin' proof
It's not hard to understand
How to maintain and walk like a man
It's the truth
I'm not the same as I was in my youth
I'm not just talkin' game,
I'm livin' proof
It's not hard to understand
How to maintain and walk like a man
It's the truth
Oh
You
