Elementary

[00:09.35] Yeah my homie Pete lay it down real fat on the bass
[00:11.76] That be keeping all my party people packed in the place
[00:13.29] With they hands to the sky see the strap on they waist
[00:16.72] Talk shit, gone quick, vanish without a trace
[00:19.63] But the music keep us calm when we hearing them thoughts
[00:21.73] Along with another voice, crystal clear as my pops
[00:24.39] He telling me I need to watch when this kid is living sinful
[00:26.73] I know life is tough though we wish it was simple
[00:29.30] Well let me break it down like one part at a time
[00:31.72] You see the easier the money means the harder I grind
[00:34.03] When the moment much more than just bars in a rhyme
[00:36.18] Like what you think the sun's for, so my stars could align
[00:38.77] Shit this art is divine and whether you like it or not
[00:41.15] I'm using my heart and my mind with every line that I jot
[00:43.60] I been patient, working hard, I'll take my time at the top
[00:45.84] Ironic we shoot for the stars, still I'd die for a shot
[00:48.27] Cause when you climb in my thoughts I keep it so elementary
[00:51.17] Like A-B-C, (cough, cough) L-M-N-O-P
[00:53.75] Something like that or at least that's what they was telling me
[00:56.13] Still in class I always finished last at the spelling bee
[00:58.55] My focus was stolen in a trance by the melody
[01:00.85] These thoughts I was holding through my hand, channeled energy
[01:03.51] Out my pen I'm taking a stand like I'm Kennedy
[01:05.87] Still acting like my friend when you planning with the enemy
[01:08.57] Man especially when they questioning my integrity
[01:10.81] The truth is a necessity on Cruz like Penelope
[01:13.29] Moving to Tel Aviv and yelling peace to the world
[01:15.36] How ya ego more swollen than the knees on ya girl
[01:18.51] I don't wanna say that I made it
[01:19.04] But I did yeah yeah
[01:23.22] I don't wanna say that I'm doing it
[01:26.67] But this kid is yeah
[01:29.09] Coming up right now
[01:31.20] Coming up right now baby
[01:33.30] Coming up right now
[01:35.33] But you already knew that though
[01:37.43] Had a mind of my own son I grew up fast
[01:40.09] Just an old soul coming up with new school raps
[01:42.16] From Seattle in the city where it rains it pours
[01:44.54] But them clouds let the sun through and raised ya boy
[01:47.41] I ain't never been one to act my age before
[01:49.80] Why my style ain't never been the same as yours
[01:51.62] I been seeing things different since grade school y'all
[01:54.59] My Block (Remix) was my favorite song
[01:57.45] Always told myself I'd be something major lord
[01:58.72] When I'd never even been up on a stage before
[02:01.81] Taking jump shots til it got dark, had the Nike Shox
[02:04.73] Junior high walking with this chick cause I liked to talk
[02:07.40] Kid got jealous had to prove if I could fight or not
[02:09.48] Remember when my bike got jacked must've sliced the lock
[02:11.85] Sitting on the school bus bored so I'd write a lot
[02:14.45] Back then I'd never have to trip about writer's block
[02:16.82] Saving up so I could buy some speakers, ya the type that knock
[02:19.45] Used to get home after practice, like 5 o'clock
[02:21.51] Mom made dinner and she worked, she was something else
[02:24.29] I was in another world in high school- Roosevelt
[02:26.37] High during school they impeached the class president
[02:29.08] I was writing rhymes instead of trying to get a letterman
[02:31.64] Something always told me in my soul that this was meant for me
[02:35.59] Until we grown old since the days of elementary kid
[02:36.83] I don't wanna say that I made it
[02:39.46] But I did yeah yeah
[02:42.17] I don't wanna say that I'm doing it
[02:44.71] But this kid is yeah

[02:51.93] Coming up right now

[02:55.65] It could all pass in the blink of an eye
[02:57.79] So tonight we make it last
[02:59.03] Hold your drink to the sky
[03:00.04] As we take a trip back to 2005
