P S 111 at 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 of starve
corner store like Mr SpareAQuarter
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
15 I got a gun
16 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
I remember early mornings
syrup sandwiches
sugar water yeah
Walking up the dark stairwells
elevators was out of order yeah
Worth 200 million now
bicentennial nigga
flat screens and condominiums
Brazilian women on Xannies
they pulling off panties
I’m pushing 40
she only 21
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
1990′s Polo Ralph Lauren on him
Gone a few years
the whole world snoring on him
Girls all up on him
I spread them
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
