The Becoming (形成) (Explicit Version) - Little Brother[00:00:00]
I went from niggaz tellin' me[00:00:05]
I really shouldn't rhyme[00:00:06]
To droppin' a classic album muhf**kers couldn't find[00:00:08]
Took my respect [00:00:11]
Took lessons and took the time[00:00:11]
And if you want a success story [00:00:13]
Just take a look at mine[00:00:14]
I was blessed with the right components [00:00:15]
So precise[00:00:17]
'Cause I write so tight within the moment[00:00:18]
And spit like my life depended on it [00:00:20]
I target you herbs[00:00:22]
On some teleprompter sh*t [00:00:23]
I got you watching your words[00:00:25]
Tay rhymes are real life [00:00:26]
Yours are so 'For instance'[00:00:27]
Taxin' these niggaz like no dependents[00:00:29]
12 bar courtroom drama with no co-defendants[00:00:31]
Don't beat it off [00:00:34]
Come to your senses [00:00:35]
You know [00:00:36]
Ni**a[00:00:37]
Hard rock [00:00:37]
My block is where you better be from[00:00:37]
Top of the line [00:00:39]
My team will never settle for crumbs[00:00:40]
And he's hated [00:00:42]
But still rated 2nd to none[00:00:43]
I'm everything you wanna be but have yet to become[00:00:45]
It all started back in '99 when time was hard[00:00:47]
North Carolina Central but we called it the yard[00:00:50]
'Cause niggaz wasn't trying to study abroad[00:00:53]
They was trynna study a broad[00:00:55]
Or two ir three up in the dorms[00:00:56]
Met my ni**a Chaundon and I started to ponder[00:00:58]
F**k this [00:01:01]
I'mma quit the football team tomorrow[00:01:01]
Did shows around town[00:01:03]
And word got around that battling Tay[00:01:04]
Was like yelling 'spic' in Tijuana[00:01:07]
Build my rep up [00:01:09]
That's when Pooh and 9th stepped up[00:01:10]
9th was old school [00:01:12]
Pooh was young and playing catch up[00:01:13]
Cool [00:01:14]
'Cause he could still rock an instrumental[00:01:15]
Our first joints [00:01:16]
Yeah they was wack[00:01:17]
But niggaz could hear potential in 'em[00:01:18]
Honing our skills for survival [00:01:20]
Hustling[00:01:21]
Our flyers passed out like mamma at revival[00:01:22]
The real deal on how I repped my peeps[00:01:25]
You ain't goin' find this in no press release[00:01:27]
Hard rock [00:01:30]
My block is where you better be from[00:01:31]
Top of the line [00:01:33]
My team will never settle for crumbs[00:01:34]
And he's hated [00:01:35]
But still rated 2nd to none[00:01:36]
I'm everything you wanna be but have yet to become[00:01:38]
And he's shook[00:01:41]
That's what your team is telling me [00:01:42]
Son[00:01:43]
Still hated [00:01:43]
But still rated 2nd to none[00:01:44]
And Greensboro 'cause that's the only 'boro I'm from[00:01:46]
I'm everything you wanna be [00:01:49]
But have yet to become[00:01:50]
