Woo, the way he was talkin', man, I wanna hear it
(Trying)
(Trying)
(Trying)
Am I just another lost in the pack?
We Horshack shit, you know, laugh it off
Years just blow by (blow by)
My eyes stay fixed, but the picture's kind of out of focus
I cry a lot, but admit to it
Enjoyin' life now, but I've been through it
Sometimes I wish that I can go back
No bills, no kids, just gettin' tore back
I want a wife, I love women
How could I front like I don't be in love with 'em?
A lil' man that I can teach, a lil' sand, but not the beach
I figure excess'll only bring an excessive amount of fuss
So when I'm gone, make sure the headstone reads, "He did it for us"
I'm like the modern day Jesus
I cherish warm thoughts like a gray goose
And float soft kisses to my baby (yo, ain't that Dave's little girl?)
Yeah, respect for that, she gon' be somebody
Instead of somebody baby mama (baby mama)
You see young minds are now made of armor
I'm tryin' to pop a hole in your Yankee cap, absorb me
The skies over your head ain't safe no more, and hip-hop ain't your home
And if it is, you fuckin' up the crib, son
You make life look like I don't wanna live one
You might as well hold your breath until you die in a corner
Somewhere bent over in the crevice
This god theory overcomes the worst of weathers
As long as you willin' to try, you on a good start, homie
You on a good start, so get to tryin'
People, are you ready? (Yes, we're ready!)
Are you really ready? (We wanna be ready!)
Ready for the change that may approach you? (Oh, yes!)
Follow down the path that you supposed to? (Yes!)
People, are you ready? (Yes, we're ready!)
Are you really ready to try? (We wanna try harder!)
You know mistakes are trials that we learn from? (Oh, yes!)
In order to live life, you must earn one? (Yeah!)
People, are you ready?
Throughout my change to grow, some of my people got left behind
They didn't listen for the gun as I leaped from off the line
13 years deep in this marathon I'm runnin'
Paid dues and still got bills to pay
When I came back around the way
Old friends gave me dead eyes, fake smiles, half wide
We were supposed to rid the world of danger
These days we nod heads, small talk like polite strangers
It's natural to fall off, just land close to the tree
I'll be there if they need me to be and I know all my local shorties
'Cause they all know who I am and lately wanna flip grammar
Instead of grams, like that's the only choice they got
They tell me how they gonna shake up the game
But came to me to see if I could give 'em guidance or change (or change)
Shit, y'all, I need guidance myself, and I chisel right words to make gems
Got fans around the world, but my girl's not one of 'em
And my relationship's a big question
'Cause my career's a clear hindrance to her progression
Said she needs a man and our kids need a father
I'm not at all ready to hear her say, "Don't bother"
And break, and this I know I can't take
But uh, C. Smith said to hold on
My brother Luck said to hold on
My nigga Dave said to hold on
My nigga Mase said to hold on
Yo, Maseo, we need to hold on
Ayo, y'all, we need to hold on
People, are you ready? (Yes, we're ready!)
Well, what you wanna be? (We wanna be ready!)
Do you wanna lose hate for love? (Oh, yes!)
Do you wanna see these gates above? (Yes!)
I said, "People, are you ready?" (Yes, we're ready!)
But are you willing to try? (We wanna try harder!)
Do you really wanna carry some weight? (Oh, yes!)
Are you ready to design your fate? (Oh, yes!)
Yo, people, are you ready? (Yes, we're ready!)
Well, what you wanna be? (We wanna be ready!)
(Oh, yes!)
