Now I was raised in a sandbox, next to you and her
You was holding the handgun, she was giving birth
To a baby boy to be just like you, I wonder what that's worth
I wonder if you ever knew you was a role model to me first
The next day I woke up in the morning, seen you on the news
Looked in the mirror, then realized that I had something to prove
You told me "Don't be like me, just finish watching cartoons"
Which is funny now cuz all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room
And ironic
And ironic
And ironic
And ironic
That's ironic
I run it
That's ironic
I run it
Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth
Just for you, muthafucka, hope yall amused!
This shit make a nigga just wanna write
Reminisce when I had the morning appetite
Apple Jacks attack then I hit the TV Guide
Animaniacs the only thing that could give me peace of mind
I'm a maniac
Tell a story that I never grow to twenty-five
Not to worry, every warrior will become a
That's a covenant I put on every tribe
Aint nobody gon tie your shoe
Nobody gon abide by your rule
Nobody want your gun
How come your tongue say killer then kill my mood
Light speed living in the world you know
Lit a whole leaf, feeling like a live wire
Bet I put some new tires on a lightning bolt
Til I wreck into a pole, like a right to vote
I'm from the bottom of the jungle
Living in the bottom of the food chain
When you get a new chain, nigga take it from you
A new name, more stripes, then you and zebra look alike
Hope another homicide don't numb you
Ain't nothing do things we will never learn soon
In the era where we wanna earn soon
That's an error
You can smell it in the air
Everybody really doomed!
That's why I'm backdoor'n you muhfuckas
All yall can suck my dick
All them days at the county building
I'm about to make my mama rich
Cartoons and (Cereal)
I aint felt this (Good Since)
Scrooge McDuck (Here We Go)
Elementary hood shit
Now I was raised in a sandbox, next to you and her

Just for you, muthafucka, hope yall amused!
This shit make a nigga just wanna shit on
Everybody even with a pot to piss in
I'm a aim sloppy at a loud mouth, Discharge!
Dismiss any business of yours
Discounts never did amount to a check
That your ass couldn't cash when the shit bounce
Everything dismounts, niggas gon flip that card
AKs for the whole hood
House lick went down perfect
Two shots to the head, he deserved it
I overheard it in my bed with a bowl and remote control
Darkwing Duck, lost service
Mama said i better duck, she's nervous
Drama all up in the cut, hit the curtains
I mean don't intervene with no gun machine
If the block stay jerkin, the feds stay lurkin'
Emergin' on everybody corner (Dash For It)
Get a toe tag when you play tag with the task of a new (Task Force)
Everybody wanna know my life
How did I make it (Past Yours)
Well I'm a tell you like this
I been runnin' this shit since I (Asked For...)
Cartoons and Cereal

I did wrong, karma came
Crackers gave me, ball and chain
Friends, enemies, all the same
State, Fed, both can hang
Nobody can mute me
But I never said nobody can't shoot me
Just another stat to the white folk
Still whip work to the white yolk, Absolutely!
Every day feel like the one before
Hunt the money, don't hunt the ho
If you do what you always done
Then you get what you always got, you number fools!
I ain't seen the back of my eyelids
For about the past 72 hours
Hand on my heart, face to the hood
I pledge every word you ever heard was honest
Yea this me, no mic, no cameras, no lights, just pain
Mama how much trauma can I sustain?
Dirty money come with lots of stains
Road to riches come with lots of lanes
Just another player with lots of game
Never had shit got lots to gain
Just another player with lots of game
Never had shit got lots to gain
