I Was Just A Young Boy,
Raised Out In Carson,
Ambla Elementary,
Principal Dr. Larson,
Me And My Godbrotha,
Tyrin Davis,
Walkin Down The Hallways,
He Got All The Ladies.
I Was Just A Nappy Head
Livin On The 9 Block,
'ready Went To Bedcross,
I Was At The Chronic Spot.
Did A Lil' Rooster
And My Homey Shantwain-
And The Homey Big B
Put Me On The Game.
The Big Homey Solo
Told Me Not To Bang.
He Told Me Don't Put
My Career To A Shame.
But I Did, Anyway,
And I Got In Trouble But
I Had The Hookup On The Hundred Dolla Double Ups,
My Nigga E-dog... He Had The Flow,
And When I Snuck Out My Window,
I Used To Go Smoke Up His Endo.

My Dad Was Always At Church
Working In His Office,
And My Cousin Ryan Got A
Scholarship To College.
Everything Start Happening
All So Quick- Fast
I Got On A TV Show
And Started To Make Cash,
My Sister's On The Radio
Banging Through The Stereo,
I Remember When We Used To Go
Skate At Skate Depot,
Damn Those Were The Days,
Things Just Ain't The Same,
And To My Little Homey D-O,
You Gotta Be Careful In This Game.
