Lyrics
BACK IN TRENTON WANTED TO BE DIAMONDS
AND SHINE LIKE THOSE ROCKS BUT I WAS A PEBBLE
ON THE BLOCK LOOKIN TO SCORE SEE I COULDN'T SETTLE
FOR LESS ONLY FOR MORE WATCH OUT FOR HURDLES
JUMP OVER NO CLOVER NO LUCK I'M A TURTLE
SO SLOW SO TIRED I'M YAWNING
WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MOURNING LET THE SUN SHINE IN
WITH THE DEW GOT DRILLS TO DO STAY GRINDIN
MINDIN MY BIZ WATCH FOR THESE KIDS
WHILE I CHEW BUBBLE GUM
I NEVER POP CAUE A COUPLE WOULD LOOK FOR TROUBLE
SEE IN THIS HOOD THEY THINK IT'S HOLLYWOOD
KIDS GOT TUMMY TUCKS CAUSE OF BURNERS THEY TUCK UNDER THEY GUT AND SKINNY NIGGAS I'LL FUCK YOU UP
I SKINNY TO BUT ONE TO HOLD MY GROUND
LIKE IN ANY TOWN SHOTS FLURRY DON'T STAND AROUND
BRING YA UMBRELLA HOPE I SEE YOU LATER ONE
CHORUS
2X
LOOK IN MY EYES
YOU'LL SEE WHERE I'VE BEEN
YOU'LL SEE WHERE I'M HEADED
STRAIGHT TO THE TOP
