You can Run ~ But can't hide from Yourself
Pocket full a cash but you still lack wealth
Push-Ups ~ Pull-Ups Build thyself
I used to act fake just to shield myself
New place ~ New face
Everything my Pop's had taught me erased
Pure little boy ~ Replaced
I gotta stay cool my rep is at stake
But still waters run deep
My soul gettin sold up the river for cheap
So I can hang with my peeps
Had a good yard but I wanted them streets
Confusion ~ I'm losing myself in
This whirlwind of people I need to get back to my
Discipline ~ Strict Within ~ Thick or Thin
Fuck if I Can Fit With Them
Find My Zone ~ Leave Me 'Lone ~ Free Be Strong
Only Way You'll See ya Thrown
Back on my grind ~ I'm tryin to get right
Chest all swole get my six pack tight
Work all day and I read by night
The world's gonna know my name 'fore I die
Do or don't there's no room for try
I breath the wind and it keeps me high
You can't see Free less you got 3 eyes
I move the crowd like the moon moves tides
I cruise with the few that choose to be fly
Get love from the bay to out to NY
I'm prolly strongest when I let myself Cry
My cool is killin me these eyes stay dry
A shame that we rock these masks to get by
And kids gotta rob they folks to get high
I speak my piece of this so-called pie
So when folks see me they will know that I'm
You cannot get ready wit a X-Box stick
You will not get deis while you watch a flick
I thank God that my Pops was strict
He would put us out the house wit a ball and a stick
Off on adventures from Parks to the Creek
Had a athletic crew and a country clique
How you think I got so quick
Nabbin all the honey's playin catch and kiss
Step to this
Get ya one step two step left and twist
Bein fly yo it's effortless
When you're real wit yaself and ya catch your niche
I'm reachin for the Sun We could be the one's
To read a little ~ Write a little ~ Run
Not reachin for the gun cause Peace will never come
And i don't wanna die til I'm done
