Lyrics
This is for nostalgic purposes
expressing any memo that surfaces
So welcome to my services
210 bower
where I was taught to empower
Momma taught me to keep the lights on
Now that's power
A black woman, overcoming any obstacle
nothing is impossible
gave a lightskin, curly head kid
something possible
To make it,
Odds were improbable
So I flipped it, made it profitable
Remarkable, had to be responsible
Like the way she raised me in her abdominal
Hat to the back sitting on the bricks
Dreams of buying the flyest kicks
So I can be a New York, knick
My crossover sick
make your defense slip
make you wonder why he grabbed a mic and decided to spit
the illiest poems unknown that leave the deepest minds blown
wasn't even grown, only 10 years old
just a shorty in a middle class neighborhood
attic life left him feeling misunderstood
shy by nature, but that naughty could bait ya
wondering, if shorty next door would date ya
didn't even notice, maybe she hate ya
get your act together, write it out put it in a letter
life will get better, once you understand the weather
This is for nostalgic purposes
expressing any memo that surfaces
So welcome to my services
Jersey born & breed
where i laid my head
Ny, my second bed
Brooklyn broke bread
achieved excellence
on my sega genesis
LHS , gave me that intelligence
graduated with the evidence
kept my faith in hand
made me a man
pops, abandoned the plan
lost a couple fans unknown grands
yea, you call that man
but that aint stop me
or knock me
determination cocky
skate past the drama, hockey
relationships rocky
should of fell in love with a mind not a body
these chicks played me, hobbies
stick up kids tried to rob me
heard the glass break under my Tims
numbness in my limbs
they were after the rims
thought i was a sims
just a game
thats when i discovered my name
beast mode with a pen
letting it all out within
my notebookmy best friend
I let her in
deep secrets, intimate feelings
building
married to a kick and snare
now we banging on the ceilings
like we don't care
words , we let travel in air
now they everywhere
