Willie Burke Sherwood - Killer Mike[00:00:00]
Used to walk around with a head full of naps[00:00:39]
Chubby young kid with a head full of raps[00:00:41]
Doing what he can just trying to adapt[00:00:43]
Jumped to the block off of grandma's lap[00:00:44]
Jumped to the block so did every emcee[00:00:47]
But gotta tell the truth yeah [00:00:49]
The block wasn't me[00:00:50]
Lookin' for adventure [00:00:51]
But the block was not[00:00:51]
The block was real [00:00:53]
Woo got killed[00:00:53]
Half a year later [00:00:55]
Big Spank got killed[00:00:56]
And I got robbed [00:00:57]
And Ronnie got shot[00:00:58]
And I bought my first tape by 2Pac[00:00:59]
And I got hard cause I was smart[00:01:01]
I knew that the weak and the[00:01:03]
Meek couldn't make it in the street[00:01:04]
Had to assert yourself to survive[00:01:06]
So I convinced myself[00:01:07]
It was better for me[00:01:08]
To be Jack in the *Lord of the Flies*[00:01:09]
It's a book I read books I read[00:01:11]
Cause I'm addicted to literature[00:01:13]
As a young boy rollin' 'round with the clique[00:01:15]
Cause of that I was insecure[00:01:17]
I was insecure cause I realized[00:01:19]
Ain't no room for the civilized[00:01:21]
When the wild men rumble in the jungle[00:01:23]
And that's why Simon and Piggy died[00:01:25]
Ralph survives [00:01:27]
But he lives changed[00:01:28]
Nothin's the same [00:01:29]
Sh*t'll drive a man out his brain[00:01:29]
Drive a young man insane[00:01:31]
My cousin Jimmy had a breakdown[00:01:32]
He ain't never been the same[00:01:34]
And he never will be again[00:01:35]
If I could fix his brain[00:01:37]
Take back the crack in his mind[00:01:38]
Give it all back [00:01:40]
You can have the racks and fame[00:01:40]
I'd give it all back in exchange[00:01:42]
This is for the dads and the grandads[00:01:56]
And the little homies[00:01:57]
That ain't never had dads[00:01:58]
And the YGs[00:01:59]
This is for the men I look up to[00:02:04]
And all the struggles[00:02:05]
That the men had to go through[00:02:06]
For every man that's ever had to man up[00:02:08]
If that's you let me see you[00:02:12]
Put your hands up[00:02:13]
I lost my youth [00:02:15]
Chasin' my youth[00:02:16]
Made me a youth in the back of a coupe[00:02:17]
Teenage love [00:02:19]
Like Slick Rick said[00:02:19]
I hit her with my Dougie[00:02:20]
And I had a gold tooth[00:02:22]
Fur Kangol Filas too[00:02:23]
She was light-skinned red gold tooth[00:02:25]
But of course it didn't[00:02:27]
Last cause I had to go to college[00:02:28]
And she was still in high school[00:02:29]
Damn I'm a dad this is bad[00:02:31]
This ain't good my baby's in the hood[00:02:33]
And I'm walkin' 'round[00:02:35]
The black ivy league campus[00:02:36]
Like I wish you house niggas would[00:02:37]
So I go get a job UPS[00:02:39]
Where they treat you like BS and[00:02:40]
You all know how the story goes[00:02:42]
Drop out of college and sell 'ses[00:02:45]
I figured I'd invest in studio time[00:02:47]
Drop rhymes have success[00:02:49]
But mostly I got fronted on stunted on[00:02:51]
Ni**a dealt with some stress[00:02:53]
I'll take that two take that three[00:02:55]
Cause my momma got to see me on TV[00:02:57]
And my grandmomma[00:02:59]
Got to get her Grammy[00:03:00]
And my grandaddy[00:03:01]
Got to see his boy eat[00:03:01]
See his boy grow [00:03:03]
I wish I never had that show[00:03:04]
I wish you never had to go[00:03:05]
Wish you could meet my wife [00:03:07]
Wish you could see my life[00:03:08]
But you had to see the light[00:03:10]
Wish I had you one more day[00:03:11]
Wish I had tomorrow[00:03:13]
That's your birthday[00:03:14]
We can sip gin straight get fade[00:03:15]
We can ride old schools[00:03:17]
Through the trey[00:03:18]
