Junior

He said let my words live through you
And they'll live forever
This for you

I grew up right on right on 13th
Adolescent mind state
Mama was a church-goer
Daddy gone inside state
That left me with a pistol in my right hand
A bible in my left
I'm balancin' demons right on a triple beam
Fallin' victim to lust, by age of 17
To cover up, I got a job inside the cleaners
11 dollars an hour, developed the Ace fever
Started makin' connections inside of my city
Heard that a nigga named, uh
Was the one that could get me
To the status of that Cuban that's on this movie I'm watchin'
My new found life, got me pitchin' like Randy Johnson
Rearrangin' the constants
For an effective cause
They satisfied with they hand
I'll rather sell the cards
You in the mind of a hustler that see a black card
Not the black card
They pull to set me back
Ah damn

Don't fall in love with my bad habits
But don't be like me Junior
Don't fall in love with my bad habits
Yeah

I do the best that I can, but still I'm only a man
Let me tell my story for you, so that you understand
This who I am
This who I am

I found hope inside this white girl
I'm in the passenger
Tellin' my nigga "hold up, wait, you'll end up passin' her"
My demeanor was somethin' she never seen before
Gave her that Blueprint
Motivated by U Don't Know
I'm with a suit and tie inside a project buildin'
Been projected to only make it to gov assistance
My interjection becomin' rather effective
Always been well respected
Insurance money collected
Every dollar invested, the Devil grew closer
With too many things uncertain
I needed some closure
Growin' up inside a witness family
The only door I didn't see was opportunity
Now I'm knockin' with caution
Hope they applaud it when I make to you
Well determined to have him learn it
When I have a Junior, yeah
With everything I learned
From everything that I burned
Redirected my fate
The tables started to turn
Now I'm ready for meetin's
Dodgin' plotters and schemers
The zodiac of a Taurus
Alignin' stars and freedom
That's how I know you'll be special before I ever meet you
You're my DNA
But everyday I pray, that you ain't like me Junior

Don't fall in love with my bad habits
But don't be like me Junior
Don't fall in love with my bad habits
Yeah

I do the best that I can, but still I'm only a man
Let me tell my story for you, so that you understand
This who I am
This who I am
