[Extra P] Yeah.. yeah.. everything’s real!
Chorus: Akinyele
I got all my life to live
And I got so much love to give
But I gotta survive, and make papes outta state
I’m ready to make papes outta state, man
I got all my life to live
And I got so much love to give
But I gotta survive, and make papes outta state
I’m ready to make papes outta state
[Akinyele]
Ak to the Nel to the LE, I’m tryin hard as hell
To pick my future before my future picks me
Twenty-one years of AGE, not with minimum WAGE
Don’t ever seem like I’ma get paid rhymin on the STAGE
College, I always dreamt of tryin it; the only problem here
I don’t seem to meet financial aid requirements
Locked writin rhymes in the crib — when would I get out?
Seems like I’m pushin yo a hip-hop bid
At home the vibes don’t feel right
My parents keep lookin at me as if I’m some type of parasite
My moms seperated from her spouse
The oldest of two kids, it’s my job to play man of the house
That means gettin off my ASS, makin immediate CASH
That broke shit, save it for an orthopedic CAST
I get road maps, learned the interstate
Shit I’m headed out state to make papes; man
Chorus
[Akinyele]
I’m ready to get up on a scam trip
The I-95 outta state to make the damn loot flip!
First I need a crackhead with a credit card
So he can head uptown and purchase me a rented car
Just make sure that it’s black
And take off the rearview mirrors cause it ain’t no lookin back
I’m goin one deep, in the driver’s seat
Throwin the vegetarian book cause I’m ready for beef
I got a three-hundred and fifty-seven, faren-degrees-heit
Of HEAT, better known as a burner on the STREET
Cool, I got the keys to the CAR
Accelerate on the gas, and have the rubber burn up
On the TAR, I’m out to get money real FAR
I hear my moms voice, {singing} «I’m wishin on a star!!»
But I got to go far ma! {sing} «But I could wonder where you are!»
On the streets just DELIVERIN, packages
So I can just relax and get some type of LIVIN
Think that it is when it ISN’T
Easy to see a family, suffer from povery, as bein GIVEN
Man, like heck, and when I get back
