Darionne - Green

Woke up early morning I was wanting something new
At fourteen look on tv see life I never knew
Watching runs house thinking how could i get runs house
Crushing on vanessa and Angela
Turn the channel I try to cook up a plan
On how to make a band or two
And I then I see MTV2 with Wayne t-pain got money standing on a pedestal
Grab the notebook out the dresser
Drawer and started etching
My phone rings E's got an idea
Take his mommas lawn mower
Circle blocks I'm right there
Where we from you gotta do some shit to get some nike airs
But we ain't stuck on stupid yeah I wanna get the white pair
But wanna go the right way it's easy just to do wrong
If he called
Magic instead
Where would that take his head
If our conscience wasnt in the way
If I had stayed on 148th would I be the same
But I feel I never changed

Every single day I wake up just to try to get some
Everybody round me gotta find a way to try to get some
Whether right or wrong know how I can go and get some
Shit I can come and take yours

Fast forward few years
We was deep in the shits
Running round trying to figure out who we really is
Had some family that would sell dope
Some niggas that would rob us if we look as young as we do
5'5 but my mind 6'10, 16 smart as Confucius
And I could see who all was moving foolish
And then
I started thinking if we had some weight could we move it
My heart was still in music
But my mind was on who can I call to get on
That ain't hard
Best friend since second grade was making a name
Clientele it ain't hard to tell
He started out swiping shit from out the gas station
Now he got gas in a Ford Taurus Gas in the back trunk
And heat in the front seat I asked how he feel about it
He said that if he had stayed on arcade
About a block away
Hed had did it anyway
Guess he never changed

Every single day I wake up just to try to get some
Everybody round me gotta find a way to try to get some
Whether right or wrong know how I can go and get some
Shit I can come and take yours

Senior year at euclid me and E we solid as a rock
Shift the focus only block we hittings on track
Or leave a 16 on a beat or fuck it give em 30
I'll show you later right now I'm just focused on the memories
I took what's in me
Turned around my confidence when shit was looking iffy
The story says I barely graduated
But the truth is I was living life its complicated
The books I barely noticed
Because I know the lessons
I been steps ahead could pass tests as easy as passing gas
it's a double standard when niggas is going through it
If Billy was in school with a thousand yard stare
Wishing he wasnt there
What's the proper diagnosis
It's not a conversation if I'm lacking focus but that's another focus
Just heard the news man my nigga got screwed
Trying to rob a spot at gunpoint that's two years gone
He couldnt walk the stage now its too late to change

Every single day I wake up just to try to get some
Everybody round me gotta find a way to try to get some
Whether right or wrong know how I can go and get some
Shit I can come and take yours
