Lyrics
My mom and dad threw gardens, and would invite lots of friends And they would dance to the records that my pops would spin And from [?] I could feel my head pop within, before birth A love for music's what I got from them, then as a toddler Dad would put a mic in my hand in front of my fam I would sing like Micheal and dance The King of Pop, I wanted to be just like him But my dreams and aspirations were changed on a night when Searching for cartoons on a tube I stopped on video music box, so Amused I watched a choice is yours, a black sheep Mahn it was a fat beat, it was the first rap to attract me, and then the play scenario Q-Tip and Bust' going back to back My mind was blown, my life ain't been the same after that Cause from then on I was a full fledged Hip hopper, the lyrics kept me in a trance like a witch doctor I would listen to the grimiest dudes but the violence they spewed shaped my mind and my views They bragged about what a life of crime can produce, the money, the cars, the clothes, the diamonds, the jewels I was poor so I thought I'd try on they shoes There lifestyle is something that I would pursue But what they did was live me in the darkness, I became like them and lost me in the process, mahn Mahn *clears throat* Yeah, so Yeah, so When we first started rapping, right There was no industry for it It was no money, no award shows, it was just pure We saw it as an untapped mission field, you know A place where we could take the gift of rap and provide not just an alternative but an antidote for people that were being poisoned by the bad (The bad)
