Old Church Shoes
You're a doctor in the sick room
You've been the lawyer in the court room
I know I can lean on you
You put food on my table
I know that you're able
I know I can lean on you
This beat sound like old church shoes with the creases in it
It ain't Ade if I don't put a lil Jesus in it
Remember 09 no snap backs just fitteds
A young prodigy at the guitar they called me gifted
Before I knew how to roll a J and get lifted
Before I knew how to spit my mac and show interest
Before I even thought about life like what is it?
Let me take y'all to the beginning
My parents got married in '86
And birthed three little babies since
I'm the youngest one the golden child that's why I'm Prince
And ima party like it's 1999
March 5th that was entrance
My mother said it was the coldest day of the year
No wonder I'm cold blooded and always keep it cool I show no fear
Always down teach you something if you open up your ears
So listen and do it carefully
I coulda been a villain if it wasn't for the village
Showed signs of aggression
Lil too much persistence
Yes I was a nuisance
Popular class clown
But you would never know that if pops was around
Hit the brakes quick like if cops was around
No sign of emotion like if opps was around
But when he gone
Aww yea boy it's on
And on and on
Like that Erykah Badu song
Dre remember when we got in school suspension
7th grade we had a sub for like five days
She had a list full of notes about our bad ways
And I'm the one who had the plan to make a bad play
Dre distract her for a minute make sure she ain't lookin
I'm a grab the list of notes and ima get to bookin
Runnin rip that note into a million pieces
And when my pops found out I got a million beatings
Damn
But that ain't stop my bad ways
I was a problem child lookin back on old days
And my charisma was just way too contagious
And with that mix ya boy was just way too dangerous
But it really it take a village
I looked like a hero but I was a villain
Now I look like the villain and I'm tryna be a hero
Gotta work my way from ground zero
The New Beginning
You're a doctor in the sick room
You've been the lawyer in the court room
I know I can lean on you
You put food on my table
I know that you're able
I know I can lean on you
You've been the lawyer in the court room
I know I can lean on you
You put food on my table
I know that you're able
I know I can lean on you
This beat sound like old church shoes with the creases in it
It ain't Ade if I don't put a lil Jesus in it
