Windows
If you've been where I been, seen what I saw, slept where I slept, played the cards I's dealt
Long live the underdog, I'm coming for the belt, so step aside or get stepped on
Looking out the window, late 80's, I was maybe 7, I saw a man get sent straight to heaven
Or could've been hell, who knows if he was saved, but from the looks of it, he tasted his grave
Run it back, taking to the house, back staircase, to the basement, to my amazement
The after hours spot was jumping, shaking the pavement, hey, the early 90's was a different
Kind of monster, we had gangsters and mobsters, who ate pasta with lobster, rastas who had fire
Mids, couple of imposters who got put on a poster when they took that rollercoaster to
Their final destination. Let it be all that was said, gangster rap made its way into my soul
And now these kicks that I step with, they leading souls, to stomp on that dirty devil's neck
To kill the snake you gotta cut its head off, for Christ I bust lead off
And lead a revolution, this is the beginning, just getting warmed up
Is you finished or is you done, from the bricks to the keys
I got that upper middle class swagger cause I stayed on my knees
If you've been where I been, seen what I saw, slept where I slept, played the cards I's dealt
Long live the underdog, I'm coming for the belt, so step aside or get stepped on
If you've been where I been, seen what I saw, slept where I slept, played the cards I's dealt
Long live the underdog, I'm coming for the belt, so step aside or get stepped on
As time goes on, the light goes dim, the world grows cold, I'm lost and sin with all my kin
Fighting a battle that we ain't gonna win, identity lost and plagued with desperation
This generation's desperado, the name's macho and I used to bang five
Maan I'd die for that black and gold, but then I died with christ
And now I'm rooted at the foot of the cross, eating the word with an appetite
If you've been where I been, seen what I saw, slept where I slept, played the cards I's dealt
Long live the underdog, I'm coming for the belt, so step aside or get stepped on
If you've been where I been, seen what I saw, slept where I slept, played the cards I's dealt
Long live the underdog, I'm coming for the belt, so step aside or get stepped on
Long live the underdog, I'm coming for the belt, so step aside or get stepped on
Looking out the window, late 80's, I was maybe 7, I saw a man get sent straight to heaven
Or could've been hell, who knows if he was saved, but from the looks of it, he tasted his grave
