Streets tryed to hit me with a tyson punch, but i dodged it with the ali shuffle,
A quick right from money had me thinkin i was in trouble,
I love to bust your bubble, i only made me stumbled,
My hood was a jungle and i was in for a rumble,
love for Football help me find another passion,
But the block called and i tossed my cleats in the trash bin,
Parents tryed to sell me on not doin it, it wasn't bought,
I wasn't gettin thru to this youth in revolt,
then one day at a party after drinkin,
i almost got shot, that had me thinkin,
Fallen back on this lifestyle would be dumb, and that im not,
Im gone end up dead or in jail to rot,
Came outta engelwood in the chi, no excuses,
God gave me the brains, time to use it,
Im searchin for a way outta this lifestyle,
Trying hard not to sling on the block, meanwhile,
Music is my escape, so it's what i fall back on,
But when you ain't progressin, shit starts to go all wrong,
It's gotta be a reason he gave me the lyrical ability,
Thinkin maybe to make classics like the blueprint trilogy,
I was once heading down a point of no return,
Time to usher in a new future, the past let it burn
just a verse i had sittin around, decided to let people take a look at it.
very old verse, but i thought i did a good job, the concept was pretty creative imo, and the substance and wordplay was their as well.
