lyrics

Uh, don't complain, man you asked for it
don't complain, man you asked for it

Look,
I'm sittin' at the crib the other day right
thinkin' back on my life, backtrackin'
recountin' shit that happened
runnin' my childhood back, wit slow motion reactions
events that fucked up my mindset, and some that had me laughin'
all in all I been blessed though wit,
family, health in essence,
openin' presents from the hospital to adolescence
the sibling rivalry, coupled wit some fights that we
was witnessin' between parents that would fall on knives for me
I rightfully, inherited anger problems by the time
I got to college, was hidin' behind all my smiles wit
kind gestures and comic relief, grades was the least
of my issues, along wit several women that I misused
comin' behind a misogynist, and a mother that started
drama wit, everybody, she just went down the list
no wonder niggas like me, decide to rap about
the shit that we encounter, now I'm askin' what happens now

A skinny nigga, big head dreams bigger
realized vision 16s on the trigger
what the hell happens when ya find ya lane rappin'
went from concrete jungles to the trees wit gorillas I was


Nahh I don't condone violence or broken bones
but I done had, my share of fights n some bad,
luckily, nobody ever brought rifles to class
I had some sane classmates, but it's like 50 last dates
'cause a nigga moved, too many times for me to count
the perpetual new kid, wit intelligence leakin' out
I had to, earn my stripes like them niggas wit whistles
ambitious, I'd be damned if I have to live in the middle
always holdin' in, what I'm feelin' 'cause my pops is military
no real friends, 'cause every school was just temporary
Became a poet, why'd I do it? 'Cause chicks like it
commenced writin' about my problems I was sendin' every
emotion I felt, anger & frust-ration was pourin' out
I parlayed to spoken word the lord announced
I been pre-ordained to bring that lyrical rain
Found my purpose in life and I won't never be the same
but I'm askin'

Chorus
Yeah
got me buried underground
got no time to wait, man I'm comin' now
pourin' out my soul, so I'm buzzin' now
feelin' like a king but, dynasties go up and down
tryna live forever (2x)
