Lyrics
1ST AND 3RD VERSE BY XXXICAN/2ND VERSE BY MCDV8
BEAT PRODUCED BY UNKNOWN?
MY PALMS ARE SWEATY,
THE BEAT STILL HEAVY,
MY HEARTS STILL RACING,
CLOCK STILL TICKIN,
SO ITS TIME WASTED,
I DIDNT TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SHIT,
I DONT EVEN REMEMBER THE WHOLE CONVERSATION,
I WAS SO EXCITED,
I ENDED UP WITH WRITERS BLOCK,
SO I STEPPED AWAY FOR A SECOND,
I STILL HAND PACKS IN MY SOCK,
SO IT WAS BACK TO THE BLOCK,
WITH MY CURRENCY ON TOP,
CAUSE I WAS MY OWN,
I DIDNT HAVE A HOME,
SO THE STREETS I ROAMED,
WEST SIDE OF PHOENIX IS WHERE I CALL HOME,
SO I WATCHED MY DREAMS PASS ME BY,
AND I DIDNT SEEM TO MIND CAUSE I STAYED HIGH,
SITTING HERE ASKIN MYSELF WHY,
GLANCIN TO THE LEFT WATCHIN MY DREAMS PASS BY,
I DID IT ALL THATS THE TRUTH,
THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO WAS TO GET BACK IN THE BOOTH,
BACK THEN I WAS SO NAIVE,
I HAD NO CLUE,
I THOUGHT THE STREET LIFE WAS THE ONLY THING TO DO,
BUT I WAS DESTIN TO SHINE,
THEY USED TO SAY MAN HOMIE CAN RHYME,
I CANT SAY IT ENDED BAD CAUSE IM DOIN FINE,
JUST SITTIN HERE LOOKIN AT THE TOP,
LIKE ITS GONNA BE A HELL OF A CLIMB
THEY SAY YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE IN LIFE,
BUT FORGET THAT,
CAUSE THE FIRST CHANCE ALREADY PAST,
BUT I CAN PRACTICALLY HEAR THE SECOND ONE COMING,
I CAN HEAR THE BEAT DRUMMIN,
AND WHEN I GET,
YALL WONT FORGET IT
CAUSE AND IMA MAKE IT MORE THAN ITS WORTH,
YO SON FEELING LIKE I GET A SECOND BIRTH,
LIKE I JUST ARRIVED TO THIS EARTH,
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
AND WAS BORN WITH THE ABILITY TO RHYME,
FEELING LIKE THE WORLD IS MINE,
AND IMA DO MORE THAN JUST SHINE,
IMA BRING THE RAIN THE PAIN,
LIKE YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED,
AND IMA BE SO PERSISTENT,
YOULL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY EXISTENCE,
THERE WILL BE NO RESISTANCE,
CAUSE EVEN IF YOU HATE ME,
EVENTUALLY YOULL GIVE IN AND LISTEN,
REALIZE THAT I HAVE RISEN,
FLOATIN ACROSS THE SKY LIKE CRISS ANGEL,
IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE,
YOU CAN CHECK ME FORM ANY ANGLE,
WATCH MY LEGS DANGLE,
BUT I WILL NOT FALL,
NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU WATCH AND WAIT,
NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU PRAY AND HATE,
ILL STILL BE THERE LOOKIN DOWN,
LIKE DAMN I MADE IT,
DONT YOU UNDERSTAND,
THERES NO TURNING BACK,
I CANT BE FADED,
ONE DAY YOULL ADMIT THAT GOD DAMN, HE IS THE GREATEST
SO I GOTTA SECOND CHANCE,
AND ITS GOT NO CHOICE,
ITS GONNA HAVE TO LAST,
YOUR GONNA HEAR MY VOICE,
LIFE 101 YEAH I ACED THAT CLASS,
MY UPS AND DOWNS TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS,
I SAT BACK LIKE A CHILD BEING PATIENT,
AND AS A MAN IM BACK HUNGRY AS FUCK,
THOUGHT I MESSED UP SO BAD
THAT NOW IM STUCK
NOW IM KILLIN THIS BEAT
LOOKIN AT YOU COCKY LIKE WHAT,
NOW IM GONNA NEED A PACE MAKER
JUST TO SLOW ME DOWN,
IM BACK ON TOP OF MY SHIT
THE WHOLE WORLD IS GONNA KNOW ME NOW,
WALK UP TO WHOEVER IS HOLDIN THE CROWN,
LIKE YEAH YOU WAS HOLDIN IT DOWN,
BUT THIS MEXICAN FROM THE NEIGHBOR HOOD
IS GOING TO HOLD IT NOW,
RIGHT NOW THE RAP GAME IS LOOKIN
LIKE NEW ORLEANS AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA,
AND IM FIRST ON SCENE INVOLVED IN THE CLEAN UP,
LOOKIN FOR THESE BENEIFITS FROM THE RAP GAME,
AND I STILL AINT SEEN'EM,
GAVE EVERYONE A CHANCE,
AND I THINK I WAS LENIANT,
AND IM SITTIN HERE HUNGRY,
AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK
IF ALL YOU HAVE IS PEANUTS,
IM TAKING THAT SHIT,
YOU MOTHERFUCKERS IN THE RAP GAME MAKE ME SICK
