STRAIGHT OFF THE ROOF! (Cannonball) Everything I ever made was meant to be immortal living everlasting, yo If moves could talk they'd tell you who's goofing off and do it in passing, yo This is my REAL life I sacrifice REAL time to get on my moment And I still feel like a chosen one Sometimes just the only one KOBE was my JORDAN And serving up flows on every corner Helped me get good at my performance And really just passion was the chorus Except for smoking in the hallways Never had a place to hone my karma Never had a place to call my home So forget about calling me, what's a phone? So many sleepless nights laying up thankful for my father Simon's words kept me from getting locked up and saying "your honor" When do the parents get involved? When do the children get evolved? Whenever you pass me up I'm all like "Whenever possible, Ima ball" Niggas THINK Or niggas THOUGHT Whatever the tense is, fuck 'em all And niggas THINK Or niggas THOUGHT Whatever the tense is fuck 'em all Run up the score on 'em And let the lord have mercy on your soul Your jacket's hard Your values softer than the garden floor!
