Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
PS 111 had free lunch,
Embarrassed but managed to get a plate,
We was kids hungry,
Mom's working, I was famished,
She getting home late.
So I decided, now I'm in charge
Either stay full or starve,
Corner store like Mr. Spare-a-Quarter,
Before Air Jordans,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbars.
Trying to cop quarters and trying to move that hard,
Roll with a shooting squad.
How could I not succumb?
How could I not partake?
Fifteen I got a gun,
Sixteen I robbed a train.
Licked off a shot for fun,
What's got inside my brain!
A hustler's job ain't done, ‘til he becomes a king,
But I'm a righteous son, despite I'm in the mist of
Dudes who switch up and change.
They want to carry me like I'm some kind of lame,
I never let them know,
I just forgive them, though,
Either that or the pistol blow.

[Verse 2:]
I remember early mornings,
Syrup sandwiches, sugar water, yeah.
Walking up the dark stairwells,
Elevators was out of order, yeah.
Worth two hundred million now,
Bicentennial nigga,
Flat screens and condominiums,
Brazilian women on Xannies,
They pulling off panties,
I'm pushing forty, she only twenty-one,
Don't applaud me, I'm exhausted G.
Me and my red cup, my blunt and my red cup,
Y'all wouldn't know me without one, I keep a fresh cut,
Remember talking to Biggie inside his Lex truck,
Said, stay fly
When you bummy,
Keep your pajamas Armani.
Hood forever, I just act
Like I'm civilized,
Really what's in my mind is organizing
A billion black motherfuckers
To take over JP and Morgan, Goldman and Sachs,
And teach the world facts and give Saudi they oil back.

[Verse 3:]
1990's Polo Ralph Lauren on him,
Gone a few years,
The whole world snoring on him,
Girls all up on him.
I spread ‘em, hit them and dead them,
She says, “Third leg from a legend
Is sheer heaven.”
She says, “It is the greatest loving.”
The tales you hear is the truth on me,
Who wasn't the most faithful husband?
Reveal my life, you will forgive me,
You will love me, hate me,
Judge me, relate to me,
Only a few will,
This how it sounds when you too real.
They think it's just music still,
Well, I am a graphic classic song composer,
Music notes on sheets
I wrote this piece to get closure.
Some of y'all might know Kelis,
This goes to her with love.
Also goes to y'all. Let's see
The craziest things already happened to me,
So either you'll be laughing at me
Or you're laughing with me, ha!
