[Illy:]There's more to life than getting leg up and foot in the doorI mean, I'd love more money, wouldn't we all?But putting cash over loved ones couldn't be moreI could be flat broke, still wouldn't be poorAnd as for all the hard times that I guess should hurtI didn't skip a beat, still put my best foot firstWish I could talk about my famBut it wouldn't have workedCause when the love's that strong, it can't be put into wordsSo I dedicate thisBetter songs, better gradesTrying to be a better son, better brother, better mateAnd I've learned from mistakes and I don't know what I amBut a part of that's knowing what you ain'tAnd I ain't never put a dude down just for trying to catch his breakNever gave shit based on the waysThey'll never said I did it any other way than my own wayAt my own pace, with my own wrong terms, no brakes[Cisco Taraves:]Said I'm going to be somebodyKnowing no one can stop meThey can say what they say, just watch meAnd when I get [?] they know[Illy:]And high school wasn't for me much, nahMost of my teachers swore I was fuckedBut then a couple had faith in me, helped me back upProbably never quite thank them enoughBut thanks to them, I'll be stepping on stage at my graduationLong way from walking train tracks from the stationRiding the forty-five [?] street, in amazementSpray-paint can controlDedication, displayed on the wallsDisputed its name as artformUntil I tried and wasn't able at allI still wonderHow graffiti goes underWhen naked little girls go on magazine coversOkay, but I grew up, now I'm all of six feetNo more fucking around, it's uni courses and beatsAnd what's important to meIs my family treeThe now and knowing whatever will be will be[Cisco Taraves:]Said I'm going to be somebodyKnowing no one can stop meThey can say what they say, just watch meAnd when I get paid, they knowThanks to the love, we gave meThe road up ahead don't faze meLooking before we come, it's crazyWhen I get [?] they know, you know[Illy:]So, I live with aims to make the most of it whenI know we'll never have this moment againHeadphones on my head, board shorts on my legsCigarette, note pad, and a penGoing back to them lunch smokes, weekend binges with my [?]In my [?] jeans, with my fringes to my chinEven before that, barely finished being kidsWhen we give shit to the girls we interested inGrowing up, soda bottles keep us entertainedWhen I kept my cigarettes in my pencil caseAnd couldn't wait until each 6th of September came[?] pick days of the calendar againAnd some mates went astrayI love 'em, but things change, what can I say?You lay in the bed you makeAnd I'm trying to make mine a kingBut life's now, so I slow down, take it all in[Cisco Taraves:]Said I'm going to be somebodyKnowing no one can stop meThey can say what they say, just watch meAnd when I get paid, they knowThanks to the love, we gave meThe road up ahead don't faze meLooking before we come, it's crazyWhen I get [?] they know, you know
