Now i done came a long way Since the lunch room tables Cypherin' in hallways Being young willing and able Outerspace always
Was ready to do it hard to earn Illmatic played a heavy influence Scars I burned still At it I was steady pursuing A way to get a piece Of this pie right through this music The game kept increasing My high lets keep it moving 'Till my name get released is the sky From show improving For those that shited on me Theres no discussion I'm goin' six months a year In and out of clubbing The other six months I'm seekin' out production Constantly makin' moves Havin' time for nothing
Constantly breaking rules When its time for crushing Dropping these vicious rhymes On the dime is lovely 'Till my squad open wide On the side they love me Do this for y'all Planetary But the rest disgust me You have no clue What I do to the rest they judge me Give you a few through-and-through Y'all cant bend or budge me Since the birth of my son I place no one above him Till the day that I die I will end you function
Whatever its gone' take to make it When I see my chance I'm take it 'Coz I have came way to far To let you stop me now
I work hard Its more than a matter of pride
I'm usin my pen to provide 'Coz I have came way to far To let you stop me now
I work hard First place I'm'a take you The days evolve All I bang is Kool G rap and DJ Polo
We was men at work Should i say young'ins jus' try to get it It was always me and Crypt Till this day we never separate In high school battling They took me lightly My skins a little lighter At the end they didn't like me I cooked them And i took them to a place They ain't never been Hate to see me win 'Coz it happened over and over again
Created Q-D with El Dorado 'Till this day it's still the motto We gone' leave you niggas hope y'all follow My love for Outerspace is Deeper than the casket plus I had two sons And i named them cannons after us
Crypt you just planted a seed in yo' garden Take care of little Nikki Like our mothers when we starvin' The belly of the beast A feast is un-reachable Gotta get this cheddar Now the young'ins they believe in you Vinnie set the path Now when i hear Walk With Me I hear the hook That's where Paz was talkin' to me We gone' do it 'till the 40's start pouring 'Till our stones get carved and the Blood And Ashes start forming
Whatever its gone' take to make it
When I see my chance I'm'a take it
'Coz I have came way to far To let you stop me now I work hard It's more than a matter of pride
I'm usin my pen to provide 'Coz I have came way to far To let you stop me now I work hard
Whatever its gone' take to make it
When I see my chance I'm'a take it 'Coz I have came way to far To let you stop me now I work hard
It's more than a matter of pride I'm usin my pen to provide
'Coz I have came way to far To let you stop me now
I work hard
