A Moment In Time

As a kid ma hit me with the truth

Let me know Santa clause was never on my roof

When I lost a tooth, it never went under the pillow

I gave it to my parents' right there, they hit me with dough

Later on I was the all star pitcher

7th grade my girl hit me off, the World's different now

Got to whip a curve ball now

Plus Confidence, that's 3 strikes you're out

Junior high had all the Chicks was on top then

Got to high school shit wasn't poppin

Small fish big pond Kinda got lost in

This new matrix started smoking weed often

I missed the whole 9th grade ditching class, getting no ass

Tryin to get back to the past

The only thing I did do was make this music

Home Friday nights it was confusin

Things changed things I started to notice

The more work I put in, the more people focus

Was like "oh shit, this my ticket"

Enemies before, now tryin to kick it

Pulled out my slump, imagine that

2 years I got my swagger back

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make

Just a matter of time, that's a fact

On my mom's porch looking at the stars, tellin joey child that's what we are

There we go, my soul, they'll never owe me

My crew rolled, the top, it won't be lonely

88, Malcolm x books, public enemy

Rockin plain gear, same year lost my virginity

Packin gats we was that active

Middle school 7th grade pill bottles of crack in my jacket

89 got on some? shit

? Full of Truth shit

Hangin with the 8th grade n**** that chew shit

Back then we was still in cars

Give a damn if we knew you

Outside the neighbourhood?

9th grade twisted up high school better looking

Known as an mc

And I'm getting steady pussy

Don't hate the game, hate this player

Since the 6th grade I've been friends with Shake tha Mayor

Met Rasco in 1990 still grimy

Kicked out of school in 10th

But still graduated in 95'n

Remember me the kid who used to ditch school religiously

Who used to break-dance and centipede

12 years later and I'm still the same

This time I'm even more on top of the game

Here we go, my soul, they'll never owe me

My crew rolled, the top, it won't be lonely.

(The time is now, the moment that you waited for)

(It's time to move on I'm going for mine)

(I'm living for the day; this is my moment in time)
