The Other Day Songtext
I′d like to take this time out
To thank everybody that helped me get to where I'm at today
So thank you so, always
I′m not the type that likes to think about the time I was broke
Reminisce how everybody thought my rhyme was a joke
I played it fair while competitors were buyin' they votes
But that's life, I ain′t cryin′, I cope
They talk about I owe 'em somethin′ but they the ones holdin' me back
They the same people bringing me down,
Now everytime I hop up on the mic there ain′t no holding me back
Watch, I'll show y′all the meaning of clown 'til I'm under the ground
They don′t disrespect or slander my name
It takes more than a strong mind to handle the fame
I′m walking in one path in this broad, scandalous game
If you ain't got no umbrella, don′t stand in the rain
It gets deep, boys losing they life 'cause of their rappin′
Get jacked, lose their car 'cause of they cappin′
A lot of cats exaggerate on things that they lackin'
But I'm real baby, ain′t no actin′, just real action
A lot of cats exaggerate on things that they lackin'
I′m real, it ain't no actin′, just real action
A lot of cats exaggerate on things that they lackin'
I′m real, it ain't no actin', just real action
Seems only times when I′m ballin′, ballin', ballin′, ballin'
Foreigns, the Lac is crawling, now hood rats are calling
My stacks is tall and to them baps and frauds but hey
Where was you at the other day?
Never see myself fallin′, fallin', fallin′, fallin'
Picture me falling off from rappin', back to starving
No Lacs or Foreigns, Gucci hats or Jordans, hey
I couldn′t ever see the day
I wish I could forget how I didn′t have a friend in the world
More than a dollar to spend on the girl
But now these boys talking down 'cause I′m realer than the genuine pearl
While they're sweeter than a cinnamon swirl
I′m real
These boys talking down 'cause I′m realer than the genuine pearl
While they're sweeter than a cinnamon swirl
I'm real
These boys talking down ′cause I′m realer than the genuine pearl
While they're sweeter than a cinnamon swirl
I′m real, I'm real, I′m real, real, real
My whole life I never acted fraud or fate
There must have been some kind of large mistake
Because I've been stuck out like a broken down garage or gate
I paid dues while they charged me hate
One thing I learned is no matter, nobody can dodge their fate
Don′t try to rush life like guards at Florida State
Slow down, take your time, god ain't late
Do your chores, don't go to war with a rake
I′m tryna soar to be great
Thats why I′m fly, looking for wealth
I don't want to be just another book on the shelf
I stopped looking for help when I looked to myself
I got the whole world under my belt
Seems only times when I′m ballin', ballin′, ballin', ballin′
Foreigns, the Lac is crawling, now hood rats is calling
My stacks is tall and to them baps and frauds but hey
Where was you at the other day?
Never see myself fallin', fallin', fallin′, fallin′
Picture me falling off from rappin', back to starving
With no Lacs or Foreigns, Gucci hats or Jordans, hey
I couldn′t ever see the day
You won't hear my brag about the struggles I endured as a kid
How selfish and ungrateful people got more than I did
I did my chores, damn near went to war to be rich
They think it′s just a, 'cause I′m throwed, more than a pitch
I lost a lot of teammates to jealousy and greed
Planted seeds and watched them get swallowed up by weeds
I'm tryin' to live comfortably and have the things that I need
It′s true the best things in life are free
But I got people in my face that′s influenced by hate and pride
Hiding behind their ego's, engulfed in lies
But I got people in my face that′s influenced by hate and pride
Hiding behind their ego's, engulfed in lies
But I got people in my face that′s influenced by hate and pride
Hiding behind their ego's, engulfed in lies
But I don′t walk, looking like my dog just died
I couldn't get rid of my smile if I tried
My face shine bright, you'll never see my grin grow dim
Even when I only had one friend
I couldn′t dive into the ocean until I taught myself how to swim
But I ain′t tryin' to think about back then
Seems only times when I′m -
