Crazy, lately how the world is baby (You may) have to find a way on your own Oh all that glitters ain't gold You'll always reap what you sow And once you shine, they'll all know A South Central state of mind Devout Christians and niggas doing time Where everybody be trying to shine under that hollywood sign I been in line ever since I was six I saw Magic and LL and I just wanted to be rich, cause we wasn't We was struggling, I never got anything I wanted as a kid I would see other kids and get pissed Like they got mad gifts for Christmas Yo, how did Santa miss us? It's time to grow up and get bucks Seen these rappers dive them big trucks pulling up to big cribs I told my mama that that's how I wanna live So I picked up a pen and started rapping bout riches Having dreams about prostituting my image to get bitches Then I changed it up cause I was lame as fuck And this rapper ate me up Never that, you only after major bucks, you ain't the same as us Blu been kicking raps back when kids was kicking snaps Eating grandma's chicken bags in the back Bout to bust rolling up, thinking of the dopest shit SongtexteI just need to get some beats to get my niggas in the streets And yeah we did, but when I bumped into Exile, I realized That it's about getting respect and not the checks Now I checked out a bunch of shit I slept on and kept making songs Hoping one day I would catch on, then I wrote my best songs Expressing the truth about my adolescence That's when blessings start falling from the heavens, like Crazy, lately how the world is baby (You may) have to find a way on your own Oh all that glitters ain't gold You'll always reap what you sow And once you shine, they'll all know I remember when Hip Hop was the only soley thing I had to do, that young Aceyalonely one And everyone that know me so I feel of a can Tried to do a back spin on my head and my hand Even got two records to blend, was a fan till I seen a mic right on a stand And that's right, they understand, yo we made it a lifestyle The wildstyle freestyle finally I'm nice now Wow, tell em to pipe down Still never compares to that incredible right now That on the spot beat rocks, I get a rush With the world on my shoulder and love in my clutch Doing too much to touch us, way more than golden Roses on the stage when the last show closes Rolling to the steel drag right on the asphalt Thanking my lucky stars that I'm here for the last part The art, the last should be right at the start Leimert Park, lying heart, that's a circle of sharks Off the charts just to be a never forgotten we keep rockin Tamahawk talking the stocking the new concoction And building blocks in when the beautiful mile is the only option to not be in a box or a coffin Crazy, lately how the world is baby (You may) have to find a way on your own Oh all that glitters ain't gold You'll always reap what you sow And once you shine, they'll all know A revelation to the world (it's never been fine) Only when it's blackened out (can you see the stars) I dream in blackness I'm the brilliant brightest light shining in blackness I dream, I dream, I dream, I dream I'm the brilliant brightest light and I shine A revalation to the world (it's never been fine) You may shine in Hollywood (I shine on Crenshaw) I dream (blackness) I'm the brilliant brightest light shining in blackness I dream, I dream, I dream, I dream I'm the brilliant brightest light and I shine Blue is one of the most beautiful colors in the world The sky is blue, you got a clear day, people pour out to the beach, the water's blue, it's green without pollution, and everybody's having fun How do you associate blue with such a sad, slumped down [?] state of unhappiness? That's not the blues, those are the clouds Aus Songtexte Mania
