this is what we call smooth
us tall two niggas what you call cool
we'll applaud you if your bars are true
and if they fraud then we finna disregard you

just wakin up its a beautiful day
moms packed me a bag lunch im on my way
filled with milk n bananas man at least one
oreo cookie granola capri sun
jumped on the 57 transfer to the 51
happy that my homework will be at least done
by the time i get there i coulda finished last night
but im tryna save it today like its the last bite
reminiscein on a mission tryna get my past right
just a kid no flippin pidgeons just to get my cash right
feelin like the man of the hour
feelin like the day just wont go sour
theres nothin like feelin like a kid again
i wish i could go back fuck a metaphor n synonym
if i didnt wish upon it then i wouldnt be penin then
all these things that made me a gentleman
DayO
and i feel the same way son
wishin lifes a game tryna take it back to stage one
back to the genesis beginning when a nigga would be sittin in
front of thattv had my older brother witnessing
i used to sit up in the house all day
playin videogames in the house always
stayin away from the bad influence
cuz a coule of my niggas from it have been ruined
so d glad he had a d pad
to distract his ass from the bad deeds past
since 4 the boy had a joystick to toy wit
and i still do grown man on some boy shit
