"I Was Once There Too" lyrics
Yeah, just gotta soak this in
It's tranquility right here
The when verse how, the real verses the foul
The him then is still the same person now
I slid in, Rakim birthed my style
Kane warmed it up, Kool G turned my dial
Pretty Tone with the dreams of the city sewn
My nigga Tiggy home, had a tech name Busy Bone
We was both on it, to the death, took a oath on it
Doe or die, I was high, had to coast on it
Postponement, they killed Will, my condolence
Still ill, made me chill, had to own it
Student enrollment, mind switching, I'm rhyme kicking
When knowing it's fine wine, it wasn't time to mention
Crime was different, a lot of telling, system failing
Was sick of selling, up in the stu', I hit the L and
Levitate to the real, it resonate
Fuck a featherweight, for my hitters I dedicate
I feel for you if you ain't getting your due
You gotta get yours, so please at least pursue
Never pause 'cause every day is a new
Just know the world is yours, I was once there too
Seven holes in my face in the mirror as I'm checking me
Consecutively thirty years is epic to see
Respectfully, only appear in the presence of G's
I'm as live as whatever MC
Rep for the P's and all, we was led to believe
It's ressy in weed, watched the homie bury his seed
Never at ease I'm coping, normalizing as long as it's motion
Immortalized hog-tied her at both ends
We both men, so you know honor is earned
No signs of concern, 360, karma returns
My bond is confirmed, I'm thorough
Could move through any part of the borough
Push a Benz in the heart of the ghetto
Smarts of Romelo, I'm real, From E.N.Y, not Sugar Hill
Though everywhere, it's larceny still
Allah be the will I made it, the officials a say I'm they favorite
To put it plain, I ain't nothing to play with
I feel for you if you ain't getting your due
You gotta get yours, so please at least pursue
Never pause 'cause every day is a new
Just know the world is yours, I was once there too
It's tranquility right here
The when verse how, the real verses the foul
The him then is still the same person now
I slid in, Rakim birthed my style
Kane warmed it up, Kool G turned my dial
Pretty Tone with the dreams of the city sewn
My nigga Tiggy home, had a tech name Busy Bone
We was both on it, to the death, took a oath on it
Doe or die, I was high, had to coast on it
Postponement, they killed Will, my condolence
Still ill, made me chill, had to own it
Student enrollment, mind switching, I'm rhyme kicking
When knowing it's fine wine, it wasn't time to mention
Crime was different, a lot of telling, system failing
Was sick of selling, up in the stu', I hit the L and
Levitate to the real, it resonate
Fuck a featherweight, for my hitters I dedicate
I feel for you if you ain't getting your due
You gotta get yours, so please at least pursue
Never pause 'cause every day is a new
