Here was a kid with his act down pat
from zero to hero in no time flat
young Michael Jack
can’t micromanage that
no slack for no Jo Jack
ya get ya daddy smacked
knick knack paddy wack
big black caddillac
when it come to rhymin on the track
yo i gotta knack
notebook passage
no look passes
no hooks
i’m focused
i won’t just cash in
mad scientist witha fat client list
tight knit type of clique
that i transpire with
campaignin
just to maintain this shit
Champagne in my piss
and i ain’t changed a bit
dropped my first tape
they want the kid to retire
no hard copies
it was physically fire
San Francisco you know i’m talking to you
never take an L
i gotta walk to the zoo (stupid)
Robin Black
kill ya leaders free ya followers
BIG said "it was all a dream"
a dream isn’t all it was
i been fightin all night and day
with my mentor’s torches
to light my way
angels circlin
the pain resurfacin
venom circulatin
through the veins of the murmurin
vermin in the game that affirmative we murderin
turnin in what we learned
to journey further in
the raptures pastures
with the pastors bastards
lacquered plaques
above the shackled hackers
i’m imaginin me up
in the Oracle arena
layin it down like a portable machine gun
how the same mothafuckas
who be shruggin at my dreams
study and steal
the style and rhyme schemes
tryna pretend like the shit don’t get to me
inspirin the same people who never accepted me
and you aint even gotta purchase it
back in the lab recordin slaps
like child services
you don't want the years
of work that i put in
the tears of hurt that i couldn't hide
behind my pride
you don't want a momma that you couldn't find
you want the respect that i have today
but you don't want ya homies to pass away
you don't wanna save you throw the cash away
you just want the praise you want the accolades
you try to hold me back but i gotta go to class
i ain't bullshittin so i gotta go to pass
first i gotta go to english then i gotta go to math
and i didn't get the syllabus i gotta go back (Fuck)
