Elementary

Yeah my homie Pete lay it down real fat on the bass That be keeping all my party people packed in the place With they hands to the sky see the strap on they waist Talk shit, gone quick, vanish without a trace But the music keep us calm when we hearing them thoughts Along with another voice, crystal clear as my pops He telling me I need to watch when this kid is living sinful I know life is tough though we wish it was simple Well let me break it down like one part at a time You see the easier the money means the harder I grind When the moment much more than just bars in a rhyme Like what you think the sun's for, so my stars could align Shit this art is divine and whether you like it or not I'm using my heart and my mind with every line that I jot I been patient, working hard, I'll take my time at the top Ironic we shoot for the stars, still I'd die for a shot Cause when you climb in my thoughts I keep it so elementary Like A-B-C, (cough, cough) L-M-N-O-P Something like that or at least that's what they was telling me Still in class I always finished last at the spelling bee My focus was stolen in a trance by the melody These thoughts I was holding through my hand, channeled energy Out my pen I'm taking a stand like I'm Kennedy Still acting like my friend when you planning with the enemy Man especially when they questioning my integrity The truth is a necessity on Cruz like Penelope Moving to Tel Aviv and yelling peace to the world How ya ego more swollen than the knees on ya girl I don't wanna say that I made it But I did yeah yeah I don't wanna say that I'm doing it But this kid is yeah Coming up right now Coming up right now baby Coming up right now But you already knew that though Had a mind of my own son I grew up fast Just an old soul coming up with new school raps From Seattle in the city where it rains it pours But them clouds let the sun through and raised ya boy I ain't never been one to act my age before Why my style ain't never been the same as yours I been seeing things different since grade school y'all My Block (Remix) was my favorite song Always told myself I'd be something major lord When I'd never even been up on a stage before Taking jump shots til it got dark, had the Nike Shox Junior high walking with this chick cause I liked to talk Kid got jealous had to prove if I could fight or not Remember when my bike got jacked must've sliced the lock Sitting on the school bus bored so I'd write a lot Back then I'd never have to trip about writer's block Saving up so I could buy some speakers, ya the type that knock Used to get home after practice, like 5 o'clock Mom made dinner and she worked, she was something else I was in another world in high school- Roosevelt High during school they impeached the class president I was writing rhymes instead of trying to get a letterman Something always told me in my soul that this was meant for me Until we grown old since the days of elementary kid I don't wanna say that I made it But I did yeah yeah I don't wanna say that I'm doing it But this kid is yeah Coming up right now Coming up right now baby Coming up right now But you already knew that though It could all pass in the blink of an eye So tonight we make it last Hold your drink to the sky As we take a trip back to 2005 Thinking time moves fast Homie now we've arrived Said it could all pass in the blink of an eye So tonight we make it last Hold your drinks to the sky As we take a trip back to 2005 Another day another classic Homie now it's our time It could all pass in the blink of an eye So tonight we make it last Hold your drink to the sky As we take a trip back to 2005 Thinking time moves fast Homie now we've arrived Said it could all pass in the blink of an eye So tonight we make it last Hold your drinks to the sky As we take a trip back to 2005 Another day another classic Homie now it's our time, now it's our time
