lyrics

Rising up, getting older
ties that bing get colder
though I hate to admit it
it's all so plain to see, I still love how you made me

into a ball grabbing, fast talking, back talking
brash individual
flash while I ride in my vehicle
Into a liquor pouring right into a cup that's plastic
cats that a have the arrogance to say that he can rap on static
and make it sound wonderful
from a dude that wouldn't talk in school
but now can run a show
the very same cat that always panicked and would wonder so
much and hold back but now it's like I have another soul
yeah. Into a motherfucking piiiiimp
well on the real someone that a really talk some shiiiiit
you made me straight from the same streets
where they used to battle rap, tag trains and slay beats
I'm angry, that's how you made me
for the best, worst of both right now I can't see
can't be crazy, that's how you made me
a rugged yet a smooth dude that a dress so fancy


yeah you made me independent
made me dough to spend and
made me find the person that my life I'm gonna spend with
made me travel the globe
and grow although
I wouldn't put over my folks
but so daam close
it's no
daam wonder how you made me scrap
everytime the ceiling would crumble
and lay me flat
you made me grab and hold on to a hazy path
a daily wrath now I'm no longer lazy man
attitude and character
managed through madness of
dealing with rejection as I battled through
I had to prove that I could handle you
now I'm the man and you helped find my avenue
held me down and that's the truth
Straight nerd, revolutionary
Break beaks, straight g
all these in the same steez
this is what you made me
this is why my name be
changing all the time
cause there never was the same me
