Verse One:




When I Was Five Years Old I Realized There Was A Road



At The End I Will Win Lots Of Pots Of Gold



Never Took A Break Never Made A Mistake



Took Time To Create Cos There's Money To Make



To Be A Billionaire Takes Hard Work For Years



Some Nights I Shedded Tears While I Sent Up Prayers



Been Through Hard Times Even Worked Part Time



In A ?seafood? Store Sweepin Floors For Dimes



I Was Sort Of A Porter Takin The Next Man's Order



Breakin My Back For ?a Shack For Headquarters?



All My Manpower For Four Bucks An Hour



Took The Time, I Wrote Rhymes In The Shower



Shoes Are Scoffed Cos The Road Gets Rough



But I'ma Rock It Til My Pockets Ain't Stuffed Enough



All The Freaks Wouldn't Speak Cos My Checks Was Weak



They Would Turn The Other Cheek So I Started To Seek



A Way To Get A Play, And Maybe One Day



I'll Be Performin Up A Storm For A Decent Pay



No Matter How It Seems I Always Kept The Dream



All The Girlies Scream And Suckas Get Creamed



Dreamed About It For Five Years Straight



Finally I Got A Break And Cut My First Plate



The Road Ain't Yellow And There Ain't No Witches



My Name Is Kool G Rap, I'm On The Road To The Riches






Verse Two:




I Used To Stand On The Block Sellin Cooked Up Rock



Money Bustin Out My Sock Cos I Really Would Clock



They Were For Kind Of Fiends Bringin Jackets And Jeans



Magazines, Anything, Just To Hustle For Beans



The Cash Was Comin Fast, Money Grew Like Grass



People Hungry For The Blast That Don't Even Last



Didn't Want To Be Involved But The Money Will Getcha



Gettin Richer And Richer, The Police Took My Picture



But I Still Supplied, Some People I Knew Died



Murders And Homicides For Bott
