Taking it back to the day
I was told Chuck Ts are a poor kids shoe
Guess I was a poor kid in a rich kid school that explains my duality
From the hood but act like the rich kids do
Able to blow your mind
Especially when cognitive dissonance hits you
But really though
This instrumental
Got me open
So I ain't thinking bout a hook
I'm thinking bout my fans
The ones who say they hooked
Like an I.V. to the music I made
Yo that's a blessing
Only so many in life
Even less in my profession
So y'all accounted for
With much appreciation
Especially the ones who seen
My each and many phases
Yeah I'm reaching many places
Off the strength of your investment
Half-way around the globe
Cause of you I made impressions
Cause of you
East Los is represented
Now they got more than one image that come to mind
When thinking of a Mexican
That shit is dope dog
Doper than the syringe
That killed my uncle Mario
No biggie though
Cause of me he'll live forever
Wish my grams could too
But cancer eating out her liver
And it hurt to watch
But for her I'm strong
Pushing forward
When that day come for me man the earth won't stop
Point being
Live for now
You wanna leave a legacy
Write it down
Build a team
Lead them well
Invest in your beliefs
Dream big
Don't forget to breathe then
Live it out
Without a doubt
The more I focused on my
Craft man
The more I realized I really am a mad man
Condensing life into
Terabytes of music
Its funny how at first my pops
Didn't understand what I was doing
But now he see his son shine
Like my auntie middle name
Plus every beat I'm on I incinerate
I think I been a great but actions speak louder
Fuck a budget on your album
Where's your 10,000 hours?
Keep your 10,000 followers
I need 10,000 dollars
So I could flip that
And invest in more power
But money's only the half
It could never be my all cause the money never lasts
That's why I had to take it back
Before I had that
Taking it back to the day
I was told Chuck Ts
Are a poor kids shoe
Guess I was a poor kid
In a rich kid school
That explains my duality
From the hood but act
Like the rich kids do
Unorthodox
So unorthodox
So unorthodox
Mad Macks yeah he unorthodox
Yohalmo yeah he unorthodox
This whole flow man unorthodox
You know me man
Unorthodox
