Flowers For will.i.am

West LA weird Crip, born and bred fearless

Got a demo tape, wait till everybody hear this

Ever since a shorty, I been doin' my own thang

No else supported, so I started my own gang

Me, me, me, G-A-N-G

Believe in yourself even when they can't see

The vision ain't for everybody, I snuck into every party

Running past security so fast, I'm glad they never caught me

Look at me now though, doin' shows in Malmo

Paid In Full, finally got Rich like Alpo

I'm bowing out though, this right here my outro

Respectfully, I've been here a while, bro

Back when the Wu was new

And ODB was screaming, "Brooklyn Zoo"

I had a crew and when we'd roll through

Everybody there would say I look like who?

Cuz, you look like Will 1X

Since then, I been tryna get them Will 1 checks

A milli' to a billi', why can't I be next?

Somebody tell Will to return my texts

Cuz, you look like Will 1X

Since then, I been tryna get them Will 1 checks

A milli' to a billi', why can't I be next?

Let me tell y'all a story 'bout the Black Eyed Peas

Known 'round the world as some wack MCs

Wait, one sec, allow me to object

State my case for the great Will 1X

For years in my city, in the cypher snapping necks

The man's a living legend and deserves his respect

Started in the projects, slowly makin' progress

Never did he stress 'cause he trusted in the process

I was young and missed it, goin' to Club Balistyx

Will and them droppin' with Eazy-E for Xmas

Weirdos on a gangster rap label

Soon as I saw they did it, I knew that I was able

Shout out to Taboo and apl.de.ap

The homies put a battery in my backpack

Just a little weird dude, they thought I was wack

But guess what they said when they found out I could rap?

Cuz, you look like Will 1X

Since then, I been tryna get them Will 1 checks

A milli' to a billi', why can't I be next?

Somebody tell Will to return my texts

No matter what you've done or what you may become

Gotta stay humble, remember where you from

No matter what you've done or what you may become

Gotta stay humble, remember where you from

No matter what you've done or what you may become

Gotta stay humble, remember where you from

No matter what you've done or what you may become

Better stay humble, remember where you from and give back

And give back

And give back
