Mom told me that I ran before I walked

Is that why life goes by at jet speed?

She told me that I sang before I talked

Maybe music is the language I was meant to speak

She said I never won before I lost

But never give it up and I'll get there eventually

And I know it's more than every now and then you mention me

I'm telling you this music shit is meant to be

Well, technically you can call it poetry to life

I am what I need to breathe

Now how'd you know I'd be a mic

You must'a overseen the sight of a kid's blurred vision when he steams the weed in through those dark days

How'd you always know I'd see the light?

That's right because you believed in me

I just imagined the vocals and I just dreamed the beat

Now watch it fall into place like the seasons leaves

Don't worry bout it, I can rake it up

Maybe one day I can make it fall, I've been saving up

Hoping that the day'll come when I don't even need the trees and the wind just speaks to me

For now I'd say this is pure oxygen

I remember sleeping on the ottoman at the metropolitan

Never thought of college then

I coulda been a lawyer or a doctor or a congressman

I still don't think of college now

And look at my accomplishments

Prolly wouldn't wanna take a walk in these moccasins

I always said I wonder, went and always did the opposites

Now I gotta time to shine and Ima talk a lot of shit

Oooooooh I'm killin' shit now

Got my head in the sky, got my feet off the ground, got my face in the clouds

I said oh oh I'm killin' shit now

Keep my head in the sky, keep my feet off the ground, keep my face in the clouds

I said oh I'm killin' shit now
