Hey
I'm just a product
Of my environment
DMX, Dr. Dre
Eminem
When I'd get home
Jammin' them in my headphones
So now you know why your boy (yeah)
Raps all day (ayy, yeah), go figure
I'm just a kid from the suburbs who grew up in a cupboard
Son of a single mother, I'm wonderin' how she done it
I had to be the man when Daddy ran, I'm like McLovin
That's why I'm Peter Pan
It's either that or I'd be stubborn and borin'
(Good morning) I'ma backflip outta bed, 'cause this is life
If you're complainin'
You don't know shit like you're Prison Mike (I'm Prison Mike)
Ungrateful, I'm Harry Potter, and you're Dudley Dursley
While I be happy rockin' havies and a Larry jersey
Johnson and not bird, Johnie's up in the top third
Went from watchin' 'em rocking it, tappin' knees like a doctor
Now I'm flyin' the island, excited whenever props turn
I love that I can live a life of my design, it's absurd
Major fans of the majors, now we sharin' them stages
At the shows, where the minors get their first taste of the greatest
I sit and write a song and then about an hour later
If I like it I'ma save it, people vibin'
Then they play it, go figure (ayy)
I'm just a product
Of my environment
DMX, Dr. Dre
Eminem
When I'd get home
Jammin' them in my headphones
So now you know why your boy
Raps all day (yeah), go figure
From the way that it started, I could've been dearly departed
My life was nuts, pistachios, cashews and even almonds
A stream of drama, not a prima donna, but I needed armour
To seek nirvana, 'cause otherwise everything, seemed alarmin, I know
Yeah, I know that idle hands do the devil's work
And every day that angel
Demon pullin' on my shirt (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tryna drag me down a path that wasn't gonna work
But playin' in that line of fire, man, I got to learn
The easy way, instead of learnin' it hard
Man, I watched my brothers brothers servin' life behind bars
And all the trouble that I landed in, it left me some scars
But it reiterated for me that that wasn't my path, ah no-no
So what you gonna do? Life's right here in front of you
You wanna cop another L or a W?
I was supposed to be a stat on the board
But I'm alive to tell my story
Ain't no need to applaud, but go figure (ayy)
I'm just a product
Of my environment
DMX, Dr. Dre
Eminem
When I'd get home
Jammin' them in my headphones
So now you know why your boy
Raps all day
Go figure
Ayy, yeah, ayy, go figure
Yeah (go figure)
Get it, get it, get it
Ayy, yeah, ayy
Wasn't supposed to be here, but
Go figure, ha
Neighbour's dogs are barking right now
Rest in peace DMX
