RayRay's Jam

You don't understand
I coulda had class
I coulda been a contender
I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum
Which is what I am let's face it

Think you dropped something
Pick your ass up off the floor nigga
Bottom ass thinking will
Keep ya stuck at four figures
Stay concrete if approached by a gold digger
Those convos be deader
Than no signal

But the streets crowded with heat
And some cold killers
Oxymoronic
Jumbo shrimp and cold winters
Little Tee woke up laced shoes
And grabbed his tool
Cuz they dont teach stick em up at the school
Get rich fast blow the shit and act a fool
Laying low til the next lick
Familiar wit the rules
Meanwhile three blocks down
Young Raymond gets to penning
He seen his father do six
Before he turned seven
So at like eleven
He took off like a griffin
Nah he wouldn't be a victim
Wouldn't let the system clip em
Rayray's on a mission
It's Impossible to miss him
Well I dig it

Wishing for that something more
It's been inside you all along
One foot forward plant it strong
Find your voice and sing your song
Louder than you've ever screamed
Challenge life and dare to dream
Destined for the greater things
Find your joy and spread those wings

He want a girl with a vision
Jobs for his siblings
All the while becoming quite a mean rhyme spitter
With the verbal ballistics
To shoot down statistics
Different ways to make it
Somehow the people miss it
But shit would I listen?
If some packs for the low
Keeping feens getting lifted
Not only fed my children
But got us out the Civic
Well I might lend an ear
If time down the line
We living in the same building
Fruits of the
Fruits of the labor
Damn that's a feeling
I just go bananas
Cuz the grind is more appealing
No longer ride the pine
Because it requires sitting
Stand tall among the rest
So niggas hide your stress
But ladies flaunt ya breast
Sometimes I talk in jest
But rarely talking best
Believing number one
Is in the eye of the beholder
Nowadays the masses got dirt up on their glasses
I hope they save a little so they throw it on my casket
And bury me with self doubt
Hate and all the classic
Shit up in your way
I'll take those today
Losses for the culture
Bosses are established
Never are they soldiers
Live life for you
Hold down ya fam
And do what you supposed to
Tap into the soulful
Moments that hold you close
Hold you close

Wishing for that something more
It's been inside you all along
One foot forward plant it strong
Find your voice and sing your song
Louder than you've ever screamed
Challenge life and dare to dream
Destined for the greater things
Find your joy and spread those wings

Lil Tee, destined to be hit
He made it through the fire he himself lit
And prison couldn't hold him
He finished his bid
While it all burned he had time to think
Rewound the tape back
On how he used to live
Changed up his ways
Preaching nowadays
Reflecting on the body
That got him caught up
Raymond was home from touring his songs
Tee pulled up at the lights
Turned out his lights
Raymond was gone
But see Tee he was reborn

Wishing for that something more
It's been inside you all along
One foot forward plant it strong
Find your voice and sing your song
