[00:11.33]Now i done came a long way
[00:13.05]Since the lunch room tables
[00:14.26]Cypherin' in hallways
[00:15.30]Being young willing and able
[00:16.51]Outerspace always
[00:18.00]
[00:18.70]Was ready to do it  hard to earn
[00:20.54]Illmatic played a heavy influence
[00:22.55]Scars I burned still
[00:23.70]At it I was steady pursuing
[00:25.54]A way to get a piece
[00:27.17]Of this pie right through this music
[00:28.67]The game kept increasing
[00:29.71]My high lets keep it moving
[00:31.26]'Till my name get released is the sky
[00:33.26]From show improving
[00:34.30]For those that shited on me
[00:35.67]Theres no discussion
[00:36.78]I'm goin' six months a year
[00:38.34]In and out of clubbing
[00:39.79]The other six months
[00:40.95]I'm seekin' out production
[00:42.28]Constantly makin' moves
[00:43.68]Havin' time for nothing
[00:44.64]
[00:45.18]Constantly breaking rules
[00:46.57]When its time for crushing
[00:48.22]Dropping these vicious rhymes
[00:49.50]On the dime is lovely
[00:50.82]'Till my squad open wide
[00:52.29]On the side they love me
[00:53.65]Do this for y'all Planetary
[00:55.10]But the rest disgust me
[00:56.49]You have no clue
[00:57.50]What I do to the rest they judge me
[00:59.45]Give you a few through-and-through
[01:00.89]Y'all cant bend or budge me
[01:02.40]Since the birth of my son
[01:03.75]I place no one above him
[01:05.14]Till the day that I die

[01:37.06]Should i say young'ins jus' try to get it
[01:39.37]It was always me and Crypt
[01:40.63]Till this day we never separate
[01:42.22]In high school battling
[01:43.32]They took me lightly
[01:44.54]My skins a little lighter
[01:45.80]At the end they didn't like me
[01:47.42]I cooked them
[01:48.07]And i took them to a place
[01:49.65]They ain't never been
[01:50.64]Hate to see me win

[01:55.87]'Till this day it's still the motto
[01:57.36]We gone' leave you niggas hope y'all follow
[01:59.21]My love for Outerspace is
[02:00.39]Deeper than the casket  plus
[02:01.85]I had two sons
[02:02.69]And i named them cannons after us
[02:04.11]
[02:04.67]Crypt  you just planted a seed in yo' garden
[02:06.88]Take care of little Nikki
[02:08.33]Like our mothers when we starvin'
[02:09.95]The belly of the beast
[02:11.27]A feast is un-reachable
[02:12.64]Gotta get this cheddar
[02:13.97]Now the young'ins they believe in you
[02:15.66]Vinnie set the path
[02:16.91]Now when i hear Walk With Me
[02:18.62]I hear the hook
[02:19.63]That's where Paz was talkin' to me
[02:21.36]We gone' do it 'till the 40's start pouring
[02:23.89]'Till our stones get carved and the Blood
[02:25.81]And Ashes start forming
