[00:18.961]La la la
[00:22.453]La la la la la
[00:25.695]La la la (Yeah)
[00:28.705]La la la la la (Yeah)
[00:31.204]I grew up, a ****ing screw up, tie my shoe up
[00:34.451]Wish they was newer, damn, need something newer
[00:36.952]In love with the baddest girl in the city, I wish I knew her
[00:40.196]I wish I wasn't so shy, I wish I was a bit more fly
[00:43.446]I wish that I could tell her how I really feel inside
[00:46.704]That I'm the perfect nigga for her, but then maybe that's a lie
[00:49.956]She like a certain type of nigga, and it's clear I'm not that guy
[00:53.199]Ball player, star player, I'm just watchin' from the side
[00:56.706]On the bench, 'cause my lack of confidence won't let me fly
[00:59.709]I ain't grow up with my father, I ain't thinkin' 'bout that now
[01:02.951]Fast forward four years or so from now, I'll probably cry
[01:06.446]When I realize what I missed, but as of now my eyes are dry
[01:09.453]'Cause I'm tryna stay alive, in the city where too many niggas die
[01:13.209]Dreamin' quiet trying to dodge a suit and tie
[01:15.953]Who am I? (La la la)
[01:18.960]Ayy, who am I? (La la la la la, yeah)
[01:22.949]Things change, rearrange and so do I
[01:25.956]It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie
[01:29.202]I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
[01:32.206]I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
[01:36.200]One time for my mind and two for yours
[01:39.206]I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
[01:42.698]If you see my tears fall, just let me be
[01:45.946]Move along, nothing to see
[01:47.453]I always did shit the hard way
[01:49.459]My nigga slangin' in the hallway
[01:51.945]Burnt CD's and trees like this was Broadway
[01:55.204]Times Square, kept the dimes there in the locker
[01:58.199]Some Reggie Miller with more brown hairs than Chewbacca
[02:01.698]Whispers that he got it for the low-low, sell a
[02:04.447]Dime for a dub, them white boys ain't know no better
[02:07.695]Besides, what's twenty dollars to a nigga like that?
[02:10.954]He tell his pops he need some lunch and he gon' get it right back
[02:14.202]I peeped game, got home snatched my mama keychain
[02:17.453]Took her whip, the appeal, too ill to refrain
[02:20.448]I hit the boulevard, pull up to my nigga front do'
[02:24.204]His mama at home, she still let 'em hit the blunt though
[02:26.956]I told her, "Hello", and sat with my nigga and laughed
[02:30.451]And talked about how we gon' smash all the *****es in class
[02:33.443]I complimented how I see him out here getting his cash
[02:36.703]And just asked, "What a nigga gotta do to get that?
[02:39.949]Put me on," he just laughed when he seen I was sure
[02:43.207]17 years breathing, his demeanor said more
[02:46.444]He told me, "Nigga, you know how you sound right now?
[02:49.962]If you wasn't my mans, I would think that you a clown right now
[02:52.960]Listen, you everything I wanna be, that's why I ****s with you
[02:56.943]So how you looking up to me when I look up to you?
[03:00.206]You 'bout to go get a degree, I'ma be stuck with two choices:
[03:03.712]Either graduate to weight or selling number two
[03:06.699]For what? A hundred bucks or two a week?
[03:09.195]Do you think that you would know what to do if you was me?
[03:12.451]I got, four brothers, one mother that don't love us
[03:16.455]If they ain't want us, why the **** they never wore rubbers?"
[03:19.460]I felt ashamed to have ever complained
[03:22.446]About my lack of gear and thought about how far we done came
[03:25.698]From trailer park to a front yard with trees in the sky
[03:28.691]Thank you mama, dry your eyes, there ain't no reason to cry
[03:31.950]You made a genius and I, ain't gon' take it for granted
[03:35.212]I ain't gon' settle for lesser, I ain't gon' take what they handed
[03:38.458]Nah, I'm gon' take what they owe me and show you that I can fly
[03:41.711]And show old girl what she missing, the illest nigga alive
[03:44.701]Ayy, who am I?
[03:45.700]Things change, rearrange and so do I (Ayy, who am I?)
[03:48.947]It ain't always for the better, dawg, I can't lie (Who am I?)
[03:52.202]I get high 'cause the lows can be so cold
[03:55.450]I might bend a little bit but I don't fold
[03:58.711]One time for my mind and two for yours
[04:01.699]I got food for your thoughts to soothe your soul
[04:05.451]If you see my tears fall, just let me be
[04:08.453]Move along, nothing to see
[04:10.703]I never felt better
