Everybody, the good ol' days... well, let's talk about the good ol' days" <- Gladys Knight ("You know what!") [Evidence] As a kid, ma hit me with the truth Let me know Santa claus was never on my roof When I lost a tooth, it never went under the pillow (no sir) I gave it to my parents' right there, they hit me with dough Later on I was the all star pitcher 7th grade my girl hit me off, the world's different now (Wow!) Got to wicked curve ball now Plus confidence, that's three strikes you're out Junior high had all the chicks, was on top then Got to high school shit wasn't poppin Small fish big pond, kinda got lost in This new matrix started smoking weed often I missed the whole 9th grade ditchin class Gettin no ass, tryin to get back to the past The only thing I did do was make this music Home Friday nights at the time was confusing Things changed, I started to notice the more work I put in, the more people focus Was like, "Oh SHIT~! This my ticket!" Enemies before now tryin to kick it Pulled out my slump, imagine that Two years I got my swagger back In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make Just a matter of time, that's a fact On my mom's porch, lookin at the stars Tellin Joey Chavez that's what we are Here we go, my soul, they'll never owe me My crew roll, the top, it won't be lonely - NO [Chorus: cuts and scratches by DJ Babu] "We worked our whole life for this" <- Prodigy "But now I appreciate this moment in time" <- Common "Open up your eeys and realize that time fly by" "Now that we got that straight, it's time to move on" <- Evidence "We worked our whole life for this" <- Prodigy "But now I appreciate this moment in time" <- Common "The time is now, this is the moment that you're waiting for" It's time to move on, going for mine I live for the day, this is my moment of time [Planet Asia] '88, Malcolm X books, Public Enemy Rockin plain gear, same year lost my virginity Packin gats, we was that active Middle school, 7th grade pill bottles of crack in my jacket '89 got on some Q shit, positive full-of-truth shit Hangin with the 8th grade niggaz that shoot shit Back then we was stealin cars Give a damn if we knew you, outside the neighborhood it's free-for-all 9th grade twisted up ,high school better lookin Known as an MC, and I'm gettin steady pussy So don't hate the game, hate this player Since the 6th grade I've been friends with Shake tha Mayor Met Rasco in 1990, still grimey Kicked out of school in 10th, but still graduated in 95'n Remember me, the kid who used to ditch school religiously Who used to breakdance and Centipede Twelve years later and I'm still the same This time I'm even more on top of the game Here we go, my soul, they'll never own me My crew roll, the top, it won't be lonely - NO [Chorus]
