grew up on kool-aid

first of all i wann' thank my connect

meaning i thank me for every part of my steps

meaning i thank me for stepping off to the left

mapquesting the rights but never followed the rest

back under the lights

i never wanted the stress

but if that come with hype then that's one to impress

trapped under the life since tagging under the desk

couldn't tell me that i couldn't be matched up with the best

back then i wasn't

forward now i am

back then i wanted to call it now what i can

tapped in to wanting to come around in a lam'

off a story that you know like the other side of your hand

meaning that you relate

and that should be enough

couldn't name another that was accurate as such

know i weave with the paint cinematically as such

ogs said i say it like when acura's was up

'95 the diction

20-20 the view

'95s edition of what was under the stoop

9.5

gifted

up and under your boo

not a soul as nice so i don't want it with who?

do remember that i'm the one with the proof

so if i do brag then i was up in that booth

no mic when i was up in that booth

pinstripe suites

find me up on the 'tube

i know mike

mj salute

sharing the cigars with the pair that you got on

tor' know

he was there to tag along

lou gehrig records

l&d sweatshirts

same kid by the speakers when they blared

moms with 2 jobs so my weekends disappeared

heard high schoolers blowing reefer in the stairs

i was sitting in the kitchen

it was seeping under there

banging on the table

scribbling a chorus

ambition to get it and live it how i saw it

bowls of apple jacks

youngin' me don't play

how the fuck could i ever not be ok?

grew up on kool aid

money by the shoe lace

19

opened the trunk and sold 2-ways

me and biz for the win like touche

and spent it all at the mall every few days
