Uh
Listen
Come here for a minute, let me borrow your ear
I was just a little kid, I heard it perfectly clear
Got a chip planted on my neck when I was six
And ever since, Ive been tripping off this music itch
I couldn't sleep, television screen kept me awake
My brothers 808 booming in a room full of crates
I couldn't wait (wait)
Plus I was late for the school bus
Rhyming in the mirror with my spider-man tooth brush
Divine and Everlast in the back of the hut
I'm talking '89 and I'm still packing a lunch
Sounds crazy, but will he seem to happen as such
Whoever thought that I would do it with this passion and gut
I don't know but it hit me
All of a sudden I got the globe rocking wit' me
Now we clubbing and all the girls wanna kiss me
Says she loves it, but she's really not listening
... Damn whats up with that?
I'm feeling good as hell tonight
That bands a playin' outta sight
Me and the boys we got it right
And everybody sayin'
Damn!
Just a night out on the town
Nothing else can get me down
Bartender pour another round
Till everybody sayin'
Damn!
To all the people down since the beginning
Yo, we never wore the crown, you insisted we get it
Bought the record everyday, never trip what it costed
All you wanted was to put some more chips in my pocket
Way before the world tour and overseas and big stuff
When 'Cheapshot' was still spinnin' valley bar mitzvahs
You always had a seat rollin' right there with us
In the car drinkin' 40s out in front of them shit clubs
You remember then, twenty-five fans would line up
But nobody gave a fat frog's ass who I was
Times up, nine months later put the smack down
Sign to Machine Shop, Warner got my back now
Funny how they all flipped up when they see me
"Yeah he think he doing big shit cos he on TV"
Yeah, but that was all planned like it or not man
You hatin' from the couch going
Goooooddd
Damn!
You want to play the role?
(Yes)
Like you ain't a ho?
(Yes)
But you probably heard the single on the radio
Now it's all love
(Yes)
Got a strong buzz
(Yes)
But she didn't know my name thirty days ago
Oh you heard of us?
(Yes)
Let me hear you say
(Yes)
Roll em up, I was tellin' you in '98
But that was all planned, now its a logjam
With haters in the place shouting
Goooood
Damn!
