[Verse 1]
PS 111 had free lunch
Embarrassed but managed to get a plate
We was kids hungry
 Mom's working, I was famished
 She getting home late
 So I decided now I'm in charge
 Either stay full or starve
Corner store like Mr. Spare-a-Quarter
Before Air Jordans, Kareem Abdul-Jabbars
 Trying to cop quarters and trying to move that hard
Roll with a shooting squad
 How could I not succumb
 How could I not partake
 Fifteen I got a gun
 Sixteen I robbed a train
 Licked off a shot for fun
 What's got inside my brain
 hustler's job ain't done, til he [bad word] a king
 But I'm a righteous son, despite I'm in the mist of
 Dudes who switch up and change
 They want to carry me like I'm some kind of lame
 I never let them know
 I just forgive them though
 Either that or the pistol blow

 [Verse 2]
I remember early mornings
 [bad word] sandwiches, sugar water, yeah
 Walking up the dark stairwells
 Elevators was out of order yeah
 Worth two hundred million now
 Bicentennial [bad word]  flat screens and condominiums
 Brazilian women on Xannies they pulling off panties
I'm pushing forty, she only twenty-one
 Don't applaud me, I'm exhausted  Me and my red cup, my blunt and my red cup
Y'all wouldn't know me without one, I keep a fresh cut
Remember talking to Biggie inside his Lex [bad word]  Said stay fly when you bummy, keep your pajamas Armani
Hood forever, I just act like I'm civilized
Really what's in my mind is organizing a billion Black [bad word]  To take over JP and Morgan, Goldman and Sachs
And teach the world facts and give Saudi they oil back

 [Verse 3]
1990's Polo Ralph Lauren on him
 Gone a few years
The whole world snoring on him
 Girls all up on him
 I spread em, hit them and dead them
She says, third leg from a legend is sheer heaven
 She says, it is the greatest loving
The tales you hear is the [bad word] on me
 Who wasn't the most faithful husband
Reveal my life, you will forgive me
 You will love me, hate me, judge me, relate to me
 Only a few will, this how it sounds when you too real
They think it's just music still
 Well I am a graphic classic [bad word]  Music notes on sheets
 I wrote this piece to get closure
Some of y'all might know Kelis
 This goes to her with love
Also goes to y'all, let's see
 The craziest things already happened to me
 So either you'll be laughing at me or you're laughing with me, ha
