I've been doing this since I was 15
Just a young man with some big dreams
Every other class I was skipping
Yelling at my teacher "come and get me, get me!"
Smoking on a doobie in the bathroom
Never in attendance in the classroom
I was more concerned with rap and tattoos
I just heard your verse and I just laughed through, that's true
You don't really want it and you know it
Johnny Mack the man, he a poet
Mixing in the vodka with the moët
Em said "one shot, better not blow it"
I'ma open up the sky and I'm stealing the sun
'Cause the flow is so cold like the steel of a gun
I ain't never deviate til the dealing is done
You can never say I'm fake, I'm as real as they come
I can see the entire world, sitting above the city
Literally no biggie, just singing a little diddy
Kiddies don't get me and really it's just a pity
So witty, so gritty, god damn he's so pretty
I've been doing this since I was 15
Just a young man with some big dreams
Every other class I was skipping
Yelling at my teacher "come and get me, get me!"
Threatening they're gonna tell my momma, though
I don't really care 'cause my momma knows
Jumping out this bitch like Geronimo
Girlie's falling for me like some dominoes, adios
I've been doing this
Just a young man with some big dreams
I've been doing this
I've been doing this
Just a young man with some big dreams
I've been doing this
I've been doing this since before ET
Just a skinny white kid with some big dreams
Every single class, I was slipping
Teacher yelling at me "what you thinking!?"
Yeah, smoking on the L in the back seat
Petey drivin' round burning mad tree
I was more concerned with hanging with my besties
We'd exhaust in the garage like mechanics, damn kids
You don't really want it with the mosh pit
Kevin Bennett a monster just like the Lochness
Mixing in the vodka with the soft drink
Pac said to die a man and never live a coward
I'ma open up the night and I'ma take away the moon
'Cause the flow is so hot like the crack in the spoon
Lot of people say I changed, but what happened to you?
You not allowed to call me fake when you's a mannequin, dude
I can see my entire life passing me by the minute
24 hours daily is nothing less of an instant
Kiddies don't get it, really it just hit me
Go get it, don't sit til you pocket yourself a millie
I've been doing this since before ET
Just a grown man with some big dreams
Every single class, I was slipping
Teacher disappointed in my no commitment
Every teacher told my Mom and Dad
Sat me in a circle intervention style, pulled me out of class
They would tell me do my homework, teach me how to act
But they never taught me how to chase a dream, that's a fact though
(Geronimo!)
