Yo
I feel like I’m blind strain’ into a black hole
When my mind is still here in a past soul
I see a kid wit his pants saggin’ and hat low
Mean muggin’ motha fuckas when they pass slow
I could paint a picture vivid if you ask though
Sittin’ in the kitchen empty dishes cause I’m that broke
Can I pass go?
Cause I been tryna Monopolize but the market high rappin’ is my last hope
Take a minute and recognize what I sacrifice
Money, women, fame, love but if thats the price
Then I’ll pay it twice, anger what these pages write
Turn the clock back and maybe I could save his life
I play the hand that I was dealt and never question it
I could give the same answer but you deaf as shit
What the lesson is, practice what you preach more
Anything is obtainable if you reach for it

Game was a lot different when I was comin’ up
Come-comin’ comin’ up
Throw on a backwards hat and call it Hip Hop
I sit back and watch this motha fuckin’ world spin
Game was a lot different when I was comin’ up
Comin’ up, throw-throw on a backwards hat and call it Hip Hop
I sit back and watch this motha fuckin’ world spin

​

I’mma muhfuckin’ Prodigy no pun intended
I Mobb Deep wit box cutters like 9-11
You not a legend I’m MJ in like ‘97
What you trippin’ for son when you prolly said it
You better call the medic beef I’mma prolly dead it
ISIS and get ya muhfuckin’ squad beheaded
I’mma problem in this not apologetic
Get the bags ready throw his fuckin’ body in it
When I was younger I had a vision of makin’ moves
But I was breakin’ rules a kid who just hated school
I used to play it cool like I’ll get a record deal
Reckless with sex appeal that tat on the neck is ill
Check the bill a resume of a thoroughbred
I put my city on you ain’t left ya Borough yet
Fuck ya set Goodfella Italian
John Gotti I body bars and ya body guard

Game was a lot different when I was comin’ up
Come-comin’ comin’ up
Throw on a backwards hat and call it Hip Hop
I sit back and watch this motha fuckin’ world spin
Game was a lot different when I was comin’ up
Comin comin’-u-u-up
Throw on backward hat and call it Hip Hop
I sit back and watch this motha fuckin’ world spin

Different
Hip-Hip Hop
Comin’ up
