Back before my name was Kofi Ain't nobody know me I was on the block with my n****s all day Man my life was like a story Running from the police I was making wops in the mowat hallways Pops got knocked for moving stoleys Left my momma lonely But he made me who I am and nah that nigga don't play I run it up with my homies I don't need no trophy's I ain't proud of who I am but Scarborough made me that way When you coming out the hood they wanna see a n***** fail Police locked my cousins up I wrote this song to make his bail Moving Brittany with my homies scared as fuck I'm looking pale I know it's hot but cut the AC I got product on the scale When I look back on my younger days it starts to seem surreal Remember police pulled me over I'm like Jesus take the wheel Seen too much violence as a kid my n**** I'm still trynna heal I was dancing with the devil man he tried to make a deal Back before my name was Kofi Ain't nobody know me I was on the block with my n****s all day Man my life was like a story Running from the police I was making wops in the mowat hallways Pops got knocked for moving stoleys Left my momma lonely But he made me who I am and nah that n**** don't play I run it up with my homies I don't need no trophy's I ain't proud of who I am but Scarborough made me that way Nah I ain't proud of it but shit I guess that's who I am I'm In the Stu like every night I owe that to my fans I don't really need the fame, I do this for the bands huh Type of money I could turn your shordy to a dancer Mom I know that when you call me I ain't never answer Better off I'm in the studio then with them gangsters Everything a n**** do, I do it for my mans huh Cause I know they gone ride till the wheels fall off But I'd be happy being nameless I never wanted to be famous I walk with pride but that don't mean a n**** Shameless I smile but that don't mean my life's been painless Back before my name was Kofi Ain't nobody know me I was on the block with my n****s all day Man my life was like a story Running from the police I was making wops in the mowat hallways Pops got knocked for moving stoleys Left my momma lonely But he made me who I am and nah that n**** don't play I run it up with my homies I don't need no trophy's I ain't proud of who I am but Scarborough made me that way
