Come Thru

Come thru to the crib
I listened to a lot of Large Professor as a kid
And where I lived wasn't a hard hood but sure we had hard hoods
Lots of blacktop but no hardwood
Talking out your *ss wasn't really the right look
If we had tweets might have caught a two piece and a right hook
Pen and pad turned into the path that my life took
At times I've been mistook for a halfway crook
Because I'm a book that you can't judge by the cover
I worked nine to five on the come up
Yo, I even was a teacher which was cool
Because I got to wild during the summer
It been a while since I got a shorty's number
And then took her to the roof to get a Hummer
I never had my own room
Test the limits every homeroom
Teacher'd be like "Yo I'm in no mood"
Before you ever found me bumping Your Old Droog or Quelle
I used to get credit at the corner store deli
Watch Speedy Gonzales say "Andale"
When neighbors had peanut butter I was mad jelly
We was frying bread with Adobo and oil
But somehow concrete was better than soil
The expiration date said that it spoiled
But anything I didn't finish I would put it in foil
There was this cartoon called Gargoyles
Around the time I learned God's loyal
God's loyal

Come thru to the pad
I had the Jansport knapsack
I'd be spraying Black Flag
The pound key had the hashtag
Cousin Balki would get mad laughs
We ain't have a lawn, we ain't have any crabgrass
I was trying to grab *ss
Elmhurst was the landmass
It was fantastic
I for one was one lad who'd tongue lash a dumb bastard
Brothers had jokes
But we ain't have much else yo brothers mad broke but had bros
Yo
Uptown smoke, they had dros
Ewing used to battle with Hakeem and The Admiral
We never won the chip but my team was the sh*t
And dating chicks wasn't tedious
Chicks was obedient
Take them for a trip on the ferry
Any chick that didn't have a pop would let you pop her cherry
I had a couple of scares
Learned to keep a rubber, if I's cumming I was coming prepared
I had the dollar store slightly imperfect underwear
Yeah
Red Hots and Now & Laters
Lemonhead flavors, "See you later alligators"
Warner Brothers were my favorite animators
Anything we didn't have we borrowed from the neighbors
Before I cracked a bag of Lays, thank the lord and savior
Lord and Savior

Come thru to the house
Grandma had the plastic on the couch
And if you popped sh*t you would get popped in the mouth
But not abuse just the proper amount
I'm out
