[Intro]
Yeah
Sway and Tech nigga
My name is 5`9
Y`all been in the game for a minute
Shout out to GangStarr
What up Prim` (back to basics)
[Chorus]
A lot of shit has happened, since I started rappin
A lot of shit has happened, since I started rappin
A lot of shit has happened, since I started rappin
There`s been enough beef, and enough gat clappin
[Royce da 5`9]
Yeah
I`da became a target
From the bottom became the hardest artist in the game
The first time they started to market my name
I started to change
Smart but hardly could think logically
The insane part of me layin inside of me says pardon
me so I part with the same side of me
I hang out with the same guys
Either they not noticin the game changin me or they ain`t watchin me
Bitches sayin, hi to me
Niggaz who ain`t hot as me
Picturin me slain niggaz gettin plain tired o` me
Lookin down at `em when he got the same drive as me
We the same niggaz aim just as high as me
Everything is the same with us but the thing is that I
came in here with a different anxiety
Hopefully the day I retire is approachin me lookin
back like those were the days I was fly
(But y`all gon` learn) from the mistakes to wait and
to be patient wrong turns did take up a lot of time
But I finally found my way around now I`m wiser
I thank God that I made it out alive
[Chorus]
[Common]
One man rises another falls
To discover all is one and one is all
I come to call like Jericho with the trumpets
It`s wild and the honeys gramps and the Kwa hummin
The Lord soon comin
From glow some grow
Many stay stunted songs with the shorties knowin
I learn from the keep the dumb shit from my circumference
I run with niggaz that wanted and done it the hunted and blunted
L said it gotta come from the stomach
To me the stomach is the voice of the Lord
The revolutionary people`s choice the award
Seein souls move forward
Ghosts move toward new homes and new floors for us to rise to
In the attic tapin up my Bible thinkin I cannot apply to survival
The un-American Idol seein by the size of those times
I put it in my rhymes
A lot of shit has happened
[Chorus]
[Chino XL]
Yo, welcome lambs to the slaughter
It`s the most important moment in my life since the birth of my daughters
Regardless, all is well in the universe put man
track, and Chino who cannot spit a wack verse
My first CDs basically made me Marky Mark with the
whole planet of the apes chasin me
Here to save you all now rap ain`t worth savin but I
can`t get the pavement with gay shit like Craig David
Vocal arrangements even basic I`m still the hottest
nigga to spit inside of my cousin Tigga basement
I`ve no replacement for what`s seeming like ages
I ain`t no hypochondriac complainin I stay sick
Standin ovations for acapellas shitiations
I get better with agens everybody`s observation
Starvation to brawl the last samurai
Take an eye for an eye till the world goes blind I`m bovine
Raging bull words are my weapons hoping not over ya head like cangos in `87
I move from Jers` to Cali` fillin the love
Move moms to Miami promised I would
Beef `n drama i`ve been you wouldn`t last through
What`s funny motherfucker I wanna laugh too
But now I`m ready to get rich old dog new tricks
Told L could dig to China with chopsticks
When I switch to the big leagues this year with no fear
Cuz who`d even believe that I`d be here
[Chorus]
