Sipping on some fine wine as times get crazy About to graduate and step into a new life Hold it down 'fore we gravitate and take it to a new level Wake up and try to calibrate Way that I be moving, I be working on a Saturday No time off Praise to all the days we used to fly off and reach for something higher But lately, we haven't dried off; It's freezing The more you go up the more you'll believe it But they say that we are chosen for a reason I know that times are tough, so see somebody if you need it Express how you are feeling 'stead of hiding from your demons And even when it's rough know you're never out of luck When I listen to my old shit, I know that I received it I mean it Let me talk my shit again I feel like giving in I feel like Mike before I ever was dribbling (I feel like giving in) I feel like I'm hiding right now but they know I'm innocent, I talk my shit again (I was riding for you, I can't keep giving in, they know I'm innocent) When I feel like giving in (Let me talk my shit again, yea) I keep on riddling I keep on riding for you (I feel like giving in) Cause one day I will live again I know that I'm fighting right now But they know I'm Innocent Check Yo it's like 5 o'clock in the morning and uh We're still doing this shit but Let me talk my shit Okay I know just how you feel, 'cause I been there I've been through it all And as a kid, I got picked on and never belonged But now I'm here There's a brighter side you gotta see through My best advice is never let them make you scared to be you 'Cause I was scared of it too And at the time I thought maybe If I change the way I am that they would say that I'm cool But looking back it only made me a fool From my perspective everything I did keeping it true I even grew up as a nerd; studying books and studying facts Before I could rap, was studying rap I learned to react And matter-fact every time I lose, I relax Cause I was never born a great, I had to learn to be that And not to mention all the times that I was hit with a sack When I would play the field with people who were holding back They didn't know me The game is indifferent, I thought I'd pass But when you're getting to the top it's getting lonely Yea Let me talk my shit again I feel like giving in I feel like mike before I ever was dribbling (I feel like giving in) I feel like I'm hiding right now but they know I'm innocent, I talk my shit again (I was riding for you, I can't keep giving in, they know I'm innocent) When I feel like giving in (Let me talk my shit again, yea) I keep on riddling I keep on riding for you (I feel like giving in) Cause one day I will live again I know that I'm fighting right now But they know I'm Innocent Let me talk my shit again, no Let me talk my shit again Let me talk my shit again Again, for you
