Woke up early morning I was wanting something new At fourteen look on tv see life I never knew Watching runs house thinking how could i get runs house Crushing on vanessa and Angela Turn the channel I try to cook up a plan On how to make a band or two And I then I see MTV2 with Wayne t-pain got money standing on a pedestal Grab the notebook out the dresser Drawer and started etching My phone rings E's got an idea Take his mommas lawn mower Circle blocks I'm right there Where we from you gotta do some shit to get some nike airs But we ain't stuck on stupid yeah I wanna get the white pair But wanna go the right way it's easy just to do wrong If he called Magic instead Where would that take his head If our conscience wasnt in the way If I had stayed on 148th would I be the same But I feel I never changed Every single day I wake up just to try to get some Everybody round me gotta find a way to try to get some Whether right or wrong know how I can go and get some Shit I can come and take yours Fast forward few years We was deep in the shits Running round trying to figure out who we really is Had some family that would sell dope Some niggas that would rob us if we look as young as we do 5'5 but my mind 6'10, 16 smart as Confucius And I could see who all was moving foolish And then I started thinking if we had some weight could we move it My heart was still in music But my mind was on who can I call to get on That ain't hard Best friend since second grade was making a name Clientele it ain't hard to tell He started out swiping shit from out the gas station Now he got gas in a Ford Taurus Gas in the back trunk And heat in the front seat I asked how he feel about it He said that if he had stayed on arcade About a block away Hed had did it anyway Guess he never changed Every single day I wake up just to try to get some Everybody round me gotta find a way to try to get some Whether right or wrong know how I can go and get some Shit I can come and take yours Senior year at euclid me and E we solid as a rock Shift the focus only block we hittings on track Or leave a 16 on a beat or f*ck it give em 30 I'll show you later right now I'm just focused on the memories I took what's in me Turned around my confidence when shit was looking iffy The story says I barely graduated But the truth is I was living life its complicated The books I barely noticed Because I know the lessons I been steps ahead could pass tests as easy as passing gas it's a double standard when niggas is going through it If Billy was in school with a thousand yard stare Wishing he wasnt there What's the proper diagnosis It's not a conversation if I'm lacking focus but that's another focus Just heard the news man my nigga got screwed Trying to rob a spot at gunpoint that's two years gone He couldnt walk the stage now its too late to change Every single day I wake up just to try to get some Everybody round me gotta find a way to try to get some Whether right or wrong know how I can go and get some Shit I can come and take yours
