'98 Freestyle

This shit got me thinking 'bout a different time yo

Back when I had to really let these rhymes go

Do the people really love me? Are they minds blown?

Am I on that caliber to make it on though?

I been feeling different, yes, you know I'm 'bout to shine

Yeah, I'm buddy, buddy, yeah, you know the place in time

I'ma do this for my folk 'cause when I spit a rhyme

I'ma do this for my moms when I spit a rhyme

She was out there in whip just bumping Nasty Nas

Saying, "Buddy, yeah, you freestyle that shit all the time"

Had a cup of tea, some poetry gon' make it right

Me and dad been fighting lately, but what's on my mind

I'ma rap about that shit 'cause it just ease my mind

And I'ma rap about this shit, it make me feel alive

Tell the truth, you know the real is really on the rise

I don't give a fuck, you know I'm 'bout to make it mines

Babygirl, you know I'm staying wide awake

Take it back to when we rolled up everyday

Lately, it been on my mind, I got to say

Aye, aye, yeah, aye

Babygirl, you know I'm staying wide awake

Take it back to when we rolled up everyday

Lately, it been on my mind, I got to say

Aye, aye, aye, aye

I remember being young, thinking that I knew it all

Now I'm twenty-one, baby and I'm living with flaws

As a young man, no, they never understand

Got into this music for my heart, I hope you understand

My outlet to tell you all you motherfuckin' doubters

That Anthony is something coming up ,we came from nothing

I ain't frontin', I'm a damn king, go and check the last name

Motherfucka know the deally, spark a Philly, poppin' wheelies

Never intervene, take 'em back to servin' fiends

Wonder why life is mean, but you livin' though

Gotta be on point, they used to say I'd be a criminal

Now the only time they talk about it through subliminals

This my life story never, rapping 'bout the fiction

Coming where we from, I'm blessed to never see addiction

I'm just tryna grow up and so what

They only care about you if you 'bout to go and blow up

And you know

Babygirl, you know I'm staying wide awake

Take it back to when we rolled up everyday

Lately, it been on my mind, I got to say

Aye, aye, yeah, aye

Babygirl, you know I'm staying wide awake

Take it back to when we rolled up everyday

Lately, it been on my mind, I got to say

Aye, aye, aye, aye
