Lyrics
Its like 3am in Jersey
Im not good with apologies so imma send em early
I send my condolences to anyone offended
By a young black male who speaks his mind unamended
And for the record yall my rhymes are intended
To change your whole perception of the game as you know it(uh)
They say I write with the language of poets
So deep youd think Langston Hughes co-wrote it..
EE Cummings, Maya Angelou flow
Will I quit? Never.. Stop sign, thats a no go
Yeah.. these motherf*** ers are afraid of change
And wont admit that things will worsen if it stays the same
I try to reconcile and state a claim
Then we collide like I forgot to hit the signal when I changed the lane
I try to talk to ya, but u aint trynna hear me like your on the bus with your iPod on
Your way too concerned with what I got on
Instead of hearing what the f*** I gotta say in my song
So I say what I feel anytime I want
Cuz Ill keep these visions alive til my eye sights gone
Im here...yeah... Freshman year had me trippin like
I thought that once I got in college, Id be living life
I thought Id see things from a different light
But instead I ended up expecting more from the given hype
Ill admit, the sh** is nice. But I cant afford the price
Is it really worth it in the end or is there more to life?
I dont know the answer so I went to ask our Lord and Christ
Two nights straight and I think he ignored me twice
sh** , maybe he heard me and figured
That Id figure out on my own this winter
Or maybe he wants me not to be a quitter
Cuz God knows that I dont wanna be a broke n***
The thing about it is, n*** s dont have dreams
And if they do they never chase em, its a sad scene
They think its all good, preaching what they practice
Its like that older women who be swearin shes a Catholic
She says that Heavens what shell search for
Knowing damn well she lives a life of sin outside the church doors
Now I aint sayin that their all like that
But we all know somebody like that, just being real
Imma do whatever it takes to eat a meal
And grind like im rolling on skates to see a deal
Your jealousy is something id hate to see you feel
But your hatred is what makes me great, you see the skill
Is on another level
Some people tell me that im something special
If your trynna gas me take your f*** up off the f*** in pedal
Not to be cocky but, I already know Im nice
The flow is like a surgical incision cuz its so precise
Exactly what it should be, pure
And nothing more, you will not see this in the stores
Na...But the difference between me and them
Is I have something to say, and theyre just being them
A carbon copy of another n***
Theyre exactly what theyre aiming to be..but im something bigger
