I grew up, a screw up Tie my up, wish they was newer Damn, somethin' newer In love with the baddest in the city, I wish I knew her I I weren't so shy, I wish I was a bit more fly I wish that I, could tell her how I really feel That I'm the perfect nigga for her, but then maybe a lie She like a certain type of nigga, and it's I'm not that guy Ball player, star player, I'm watchin' from the side On the bench, my lack of confidence won't let me fly I ain't grow up with my father, I ain't thinkin' bout now Fast four years or so from now I'll probably cry I realize what I missed, but as of now my eyes are dry Cause I'm tryna alive In the where too many niggas die Dream in quiet dodge a suit and tie Who am I? Aye who am I? (Yeah)

He tell his pops he need lunch and he gon' get it right back I peep game, got home snatched my mama Took her whip, the appeal, to ill to I hit the boulevard pull up to my nigga front His mama at home, she still let em' hit the though I told her hello and sat my nigga and laughed And talked about how we gon' all the bitches in class I complimented how I see him out here his cash, and just asked "What a gotta do to get that?! Put me on" He just laughed when he seen I was 17 Years breathing his demeanor more He told me, "Nigga you know how you right now? You won't my mans, I would think that you a right now, listen" "You everything I be that's why I fucks with you So how you looking up to me, when I up to you?" "You bout to go get a degree, I'm bout to be stuck two choices: graduate to weight or sell a number two For what? A hundred or two a week? Do you that you would know what to do if you was me? I got, four brothers, one mother that don't us If they never want us why the fuck they never wore rubbers?" I ashamed to have ever complained about my lack of gear And thought about how far we came From trailer park to a yard with trees in the sky Thank you dry your eyes, there ain't no reason to cry You a genius and I, ain't gon' take it for granted I ain't gon' settle for lesser, I ain't gon' take what handed Nah I'm gon' take what owe me and show you that I can fly And ol' girl what she missing The illest alive Aye who am I?
