1st Verse

Ross was the youngest one - but just as troublesome

Succumbs to drugs and guns - freshman 14

Ran with the mischievous - hoodlums to stick up kids

Went on to do a bit - senior year 17

Just another hard-headed kat with hood etiquette

One thing in mind - gotta get mine yo

Yours, hers and his - poverty encourages

The pressure from one's peers - want the girl - get the gear

Failing every course - I wasn't built for sports

Skinny, awkward guy that got high to stay occupied

40's, old E, st. ides - mushrooms, acid I tried

Add in ego and pride - the making of Senim's frankenstien

But there's more to the story - I gave a f___ for authority

s___...they never did for me - teenage minority - I acted accordingly

Mama, papa don't know me - new shoes, new clothes I stole these

Disguised good guy - supposing - til that day I met them police

Always after some thing - with the same city lights watching over

I guess it's just a human thing - everybody wanna be the king

Chorus

I got 20 dollar dream - just a penny a time

Getting high off remains of the day

See the pot don't boil if there ain't no fire

So I'm a burn til I burn away

If I'm a lost cause baby - don't you try to find me

I dun made up my mind I'm gonna stay

If living less than capital is more than enough

More than enough - ain't enough for me

I'm still - trying to find a better way

2nd Verse

It ain't me - it ain't me

I ain't no senator's son - I ain't no fortunate one

Fortunately I ain't get caught with the gun

I walked down 2 and change - got home 19 - still young

On the surface - the pious, righteous, Islamic observant

Til faced with temptation - the apple, the serpent - Got took by the current dog

A lack of work - the cause - brought me back to serving

The law - was no deterrent - more concerned with having room & board

And meanwhile - this girls having my child

I'm digging the sound of daddy - but dad ain't got no gig steady

Pushing up in a broke chevy -musical career - I'm betting

That kid can't eat good intentions - you'll need a plan b

Come in reality - over me like a stampede

Too late be a lawyer/doctor - kats dig your raps

But your music ain't popular

Life is so touch and go - bullethead Mr. Poe

One minute invincible - then skid row miserable

Always after some thing - with the same city lights watching over

I guess it's just a human thing - everybody wanna be the king

Chorus

Same
