I was born September 18th first year of the 80s
Cap Heights bred but Landover raised me
Id be lying if I said the streets is all that made me
Church, school, and sports a few others that swayed me
Considered spoiled by society cuz I was raised wit both parents
But success wasnt in my path until I made it apparent
That I wouldnt be like all my other folks in the hood
Cuz I go back but still see the same folks in the hood
That I was wit in the sand box now they hand to hand for them presidents
I spent my summers in ATL through my hospitality its relevant
I earned my love for music sittin on the couch wit my pops
Listening to Frankie Beverly, Al Green, Marvin Gay, and the Four Tops
Im Bad by LL the first tape that I got
Mad cuz I put it in my walkman and it popped
Music aint been the same since the shinny suit man
I dont mind partying but I need music I can understand
Like when you listen to Lenny Williams and feel it all in your soul
Its like our generation was dealt a bad hand but I refuse to fold
So its my aim to give you that southerplayalistic, illmatic, reasonable doubt
Doggy Style, The Diary, Chronic, Strait out of Compton Sound!
