[00:05.45]It's like I don't think you fully
[00:06.71]Understand who I am  y'know
[00:08.33]
[00:10.19]I'm just a good kid from Compton
[00:11.61]That wanna rap
[00:12.86]
[00:13.40]I don't represent no colors
[00:14.29]I represent my lil' sisters
[00:16.09]And brothers
[00:16.45]I'm the oldest  *****
[00:17.80]
[00:18.52]And if you can't respect that
[00:19.67]Your whole perspective is wack
[00:21.30]Check it out
[00:22.09]I used to wanna rap like Jay-Z
[00:23.42]Until I finally realised that
[00:25.03]Jay wasn't me
[00:25.96]I took my time to jot down
[00:28.27]Every line that's a quotable
[00:29.59]Critics say I don't be killing
[00:31.30]This **** but I know I do
[00:32.58]Because I used to practice early
[00:33.65]Morning and then after school
[00:34.96]I'm working on my hooks my *****
[00:36.51]I ain't tryna battle you
[00:37.69]But even if I did  I guarantee
[00:39.23]I'd overshadow you
[00:39.78]Like a ****** up taper that
[00:41.55]Turned to bowl cut
[00:42.74]I'ma close cut to Common
[00:43.82]And Gucci Mane
[00:44.63]Now that's a comparison
[00:45.95]That you probably wouldn't
[00:46.94]Understand
[00:47.77]Because I can touch the people
[00:48.98]And still keep it ghetto
[00:50.12]As an '87 Regal with the tree air
[00:52.04]Freshener on the rearview mirror
[00:53.97]I wear a heart on my shoulder
[00:55.44]'Member when we used to make the
[00:56.85]Boost look like Motorola
[00:58.17]Your cousin ****** up your room
[00:59.31]Every time he came over
[01:00.81]Then went to jail when we got older
[01:02.44]That **** is a bad odor  but still
[01:03.97]I remain focussed
[01:04.69]In due time  I'll be able to swipe
[01:07.25]My card and it won't say decline
[01:09.01]That ****'s embarrassing huh
[01:09.97]Hope no one pay you no mind
[01:11.56]But it's a bad ***** behind you
[01:12.82]While you standing in line
[01:13.97]Can you relate to my story
[01:15.27]Can you follow my dreams
[01:16.79]And admirations that I had ever
[01:18.23]Since I was thirteen
[01:19.02]My momma believed in me  she let
[01:20.93]Me use her van to go to the studio
[01:22.81]Even though she know her tank is empty
[01:24.47]That's who I do it fo'
[01:25.84]My pops got a different approach
[01:27.02]Yeah he believed
[01:27.80]But he always questioned when

[01:33.33]At twenty-two I had two cars
[01:34.82]And my own place *****

[01:37.66]That's when he turn to BET
[01:39.48]And tell me that he jealous
[01:40.73]Of all these ****** getting money
[01:42.13]And their **** don't sound like ****

[01:58.52]Like a cattle with sheep
[02:00.34]While y'all sleep I re-up
[02:01.56]Cooking up all day

[02:04.36]Laboratory
