RayRay's Jam

You don't understand I coulda had class I coulda been a contender I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum Which is what I am let's face it Think you dropped something Pick your ass up off the floor nigga Bottom ass thinking will Keep ya stuck at four figures Stay concrete if approached by a gold digger Those convos be deader Than no signal But the streets crowded with heat And some cold killers Oxymoronic Jumbo shrimp and cold winters Little Tee woke up laced shoes And grabbed his tool Cuz they dont teach stick em up at the school Get rich fast blow the shit and act a fool Laying low til the next lick Familiar wit the rules Meanwhile three blocks down Young Raymond gets to penning He seen his father do six Before he turned seven So at like eleven He took off like a griffin Nah he wouldn't be a victim Wouldn't let the system clip em Rayray's on a mission It's Impossible to miss him Well I dig it Wishing for that something more It's been inside you all along One foot forward plant it strong Find your voice and sing your song Louder than you've ever screamed Challenge life and dare to dream Destined for the greater things Find your joy and spread those wings He want a girl with a vision Jobs for his siblings All the while becoming quite a mean rhyme spitter With the verbal ballistics To shoot down statistics Different ways to make it Somehow the people miss it But shit would I listen? If some packs for the low Keeping feens getting lifted Not only fed my children But got us out the Civic Well I might lend an ear If time down the line We living in the same building Fruits of the Fruits of the labor Damn that's a feeling I just go bananas Cuz the grind is more appealing No longer ride the pine Because it requires sitting Stand tall among the rest So niggas hide your stress But ladies flaunt ya breast Sometimes I talk in jest But rarely talking best Believing number one Is in the eye of the beholder Nowadays the masses got dirt up on their glasses I hope they save a little so they throw it on my casket And bury me with self doubt Hate and all the classic Shit up in your way I'll take those today Losses for the culture Bosses are established Never are they soldiers Live life for you Hold down ya fam And do what you supposed to Tap into the soulful Moments that hold you close Hold you close Wishing for that something more It's been inside you all along One foot forward plant it strong Find your voice and sing your song Louder than you've ever screamed Challenge life and dare to dream Destined for the greater things Find your joy and spread those wings Lil Tee, destined to be hit He made it through the fire he himself lit And prison couldn't hold him He finished his bid While it all burned he had time to think Rewound the tape back On how he used to live Changed up his ways Preaching nowadays Reflecting on the body That got him caught up Raymond was home from touring his songs Tee pulled up at the lights Turned out his lights Raymond was gone But see Tee he was reborn Wishing for that something more It's been inside you all along One foot forward plant it strong Find your voice and sing your song
