Baba L'aziz

Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is Baba
B to the Aba, Spitting image of Guido my Aba
That's my father, founder and author
Family first that's word to my mother
Baba Yona, Baba Haim, Rabbi Hanania
So now I am the offspring to these middle east kings
North africans queens, sephardi genes
To get into this psyche, you need to know Haifa
You need to know: as a child I was hyper
View from the Carmel is nostalgia
Fast forward, I am in Canada, have to adjust
But I was just a young fool,
community work with ex-cons that's tattooed
Who ever thought that I will make the pass dues
Running real fast with nowhere to run to...
Almost caught the case, woke up in the pm feeling half my face
I guess I am learning from mistakes,
put your lighters up high if you can relate!
A hot tempered teen in the cold Quebec
When cash is easy, it's hard to wait for a cheque
A young immigrant fighting daily for respect
But it made me who I am, I got no regrets
And I'm no angel - I never claimed to be
"Against all odds" - that's what my name should be
Your hustle right? That's game to me
Everything that I got - was meant to be
