Far Side

Yeh still rapping like I have to
Ever since Carla called me Matthew
Ever since Mack 10 was in a group with Ice Cube
Route 102 just got the knuckles tattooed
Dude used to boo now he's trying to give me kudos
Pushing these pens now I'm godly with the new flow
True though it's too true
Nobody asked you mash you 'til I get butter you're a cashew
Whatever I'm attached to dude you can trust
I gotta be loved everything I fuck with I crush
I gotta be done how do I keep this in the tuck
You gotta be dumb thinking I would give this shit up
I do it for fun as long as I've been a son
Peers feared none
Cheers here I come
Tears here some
You gotta have the rain
The joy is the same place where the pain well sprung
Well hung, and I'm rapping like Big Pun
You got bad puns coming all undone
A far cry from running the far side with us yeh
If I said it then I meant it
A plainly stated sentence
Never catch me posing for a picture with a rented
Acting like I made it while I'm still paying penance
Since I got suspended for smashing a kid in cement
I'm keepin' heads ringin'

A far cry
A far cry from runnin' the far side with us uh

2006 I got hit with a couple robberies
Started being a dick a defense mechanism probably
Still trying to pay rent despite accomplishments constantly
Caught me feeling the pinch but I'm conquering my autonomy yeh
I got goals that I keep to myself
Where I'm from you feel dumb trying to better yourself sometimes
Some lines never end sunshine let it in
Runtime dial it in one time I hope you note the focus
How I coped unnoticed through hopeless moments
How my magnum opus how a magnum opens
How I wrote so potent how I broke the notion
Turned hope to knowing there's no one doper than me
At 33 all my heroes are fucking corny to me
I had a dream the old house got fixed
That must mean he got a raise or he ate a rich kid
That's that Steero shit
You heard tell a me?
I've been rapping since we took a ride with Jayo Felony
Ayo fella please I know you wanna fucking tell on me
It's time for you to leave but leave green like celery
Believe you me just be pleased with the gentle me
Class divide's wide and that's why that's the general theme
As plain as can be
A far cry from runnin' the far side with me
