2007

Our offense is oh so, our defense dominate
 We got that winning combination
 To what? to regulate
 Offense is oh so (Forever)
 Yeah
 2007, Cole dropped The Come Up
 I was in high school playin' corner
 I never dreamt of mumblin' words in front of hundreds
 Studyin' plays all summer
 I'll hit the league if my growth spurt come in, on my mom
 2009, bro dropped The Warm Up
 I was in warm-ups playin' Weezy
 And Yukimi, Little Dragon, flame breathin' the weed
 Patrick had the studio dorm room next to me
 I freestyled over his beats
 My nigga Keys transferrеd in from Tennessee
 He's a rеceiver, I played db like Aqib
 Snatch a nigga chain, Talib
 Talib Kweli, I could be lyrically, but I put on cleats
 Scribbled lines goin' through my mind like a paper piece
 While I covered three, playin' nickel
 Doin' safety reads, watch the flats
 I can rap, but I rather tackle and pedal back
 Get a pick when my growth spurt hit
 I'ma be captain, and I was around 2010, no cap
 I got 'Freshman Player of the Year'
 And figured I was on track
 This nigga Pat' been in my ear talkin' 'bout rhymin' on tracks
 So after practice we record and then we got it on wax
 And on campus I heard about
 A couple rappers from Atlanta
 Said them niggas was snappin'
 Maybe we could make somethin' happen and shit
 I wasn't serious enough to even be curious
 And we lose like every game, so every day I be furious
 So, the spirit of a nigga had changed
 To the point I had to reframe
 And focus my skills for other things
 I took the steel wheel, I'm steerin' in other lanes
 But my fuel on low and my oil need to be changed
 Amongst all the other shit that's goin' in my brain
 My brother got out of jail, I only know him by name
 He did a nickel and a dime in time
 Probably be stayin' with my mom
 And dad probably get mad, actin' lame some times
 Uh, look
 The Sideline Story came out September of 2011
 Ib said around that time
 We was huntin' for a record, under lots of pressure
 Just combine the leverage with a better effort
 You could find a sound to get us out the underground forever
 Maybe you can bless a little brown effervescent kid
 Youngest of seven from the six, eight sections
 Section.80 dropped, yeah
 We used to play that shit to death
 And if I recollect correct
 You tried to sign him for yourself
 All the while I was 'round my out of town college, wildin' out
 Restaurants, Destin dinin', dashin', call it dinin' out
 Fuckin' bitches, 'posed to be in class
 But I was hiding out
 My friends take a little shot, smoke a lot of cannabis
 Coolest nigga on the campus
 Now a nigga skippin' practices
 And actin' like a rock star
 Going from in the dorm to in the car, leavin' the football field
 But fuck that, we still sorry, and the problems from the home front
 On my home screen callin' me, I don't wanna answer
 My brother Carl hit me, said my granny had cancer
 I'm 'posed to graduate and make my way back to Atlanta
 No job, no money or nothin' from ballin'
 Because between that and school, that was really all
 And maybe here's the back that broke the camel with the straw
 I wasn't on camera with them amateurs that they saw
 But they said they still caught me and my dawgs stealin' boxes
 Like Craig on his day off
 Called us in the office day before we 'posed to walk, uh
 Called a squad car, a couple officers
 I know bro was finna tell, he was lookin' nauseous
 Now I'm sittinoo many hoes
 Nights I don't remember, had a lot of those
 Needed pills to play, now in the hills we stay
 I'm tryna switch it up, tryna live a different way
 That was a different me, that was a different time
 Lil' mama insecure, but she know she fine
 Yeah, I let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 Let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 When the last time I called grams?
 I been popping these 2 milligrams
 And Chelsea bought the kid the new St. Laurents
 I ain't even take that hoe to lunch
 Accept the things I can't change, Ima do some new things
 Ima buy that new Range
 Posted with my boo thang
 Sorry, honey, I ain't call you
 Hate when my obligations fall through
 Everybody got addictions
 Man I had some crazy nights
 Woke up in crazy positions
 With no recollection
 But
 How long can this shit last?
 When the plug got my back when I'm low on cash
 Slowed it down for a minute
 It was moving fast
 My accountant doing taxes, having heart attacks
 That was a different me, that was a different time
 Lil' mama insecure, but she know she fine
 Yeah, I let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 Let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 
 Yeah
 I like the
 I like the vibe of this one, Mikey
 I like the way this shit sounds
 Yeah
 Vibes
 Sorry, Mom, I been a bad son
 And I ain't talking throwing tantrums
 I just came off a bad run
 Common sense, wish I had some
 They say insanity is doing the same thing
 Over and over and expecting results to change
 My mind strange
 They say if nothing change
 Nothing changes
 There's things in my life that need rearranging
 I tend to speak a lot, but I rarely listen
 Maybe it's time I make some good decisions
 And to my ex girl still tryna listen
 I know I contribute to your current position
 Yeah, I let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 Let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 There's some issues I still need to dig in
 That place called heaven I'm still tryna get in
 I'm tryna change it up, I'm tryna straighten up
 Don't mean to bring this up, but Caitlin might've been the one
 How the fuck I mess that up?
 I hope she doing well
 Remember buying you those shades up at YSL
 And last year on the road, way too many hoes
 Nights I don't remember, had a lot of those
 Needed pills to play, now in the hills we stay
 I'm tryna switch it up, tryna live a different way
 That was a different me, that was a different time
 Lil' mama insecure, but she know she fine
 Yeah, I let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 Let it ring when she call me a couple times
 Make sure that she love me and she still mine
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm out of town
 Don't be talking to no dudes while I'm not around
 When the last time I called grams?
