Alumni - Got It All (feat. Shaun P) Lyrics

My mother said that I could be a star
My father told me I would be a king
I'm lying in these bars
That f*cking deadbeat never told me anything
My mother worried I would be my father
And follow in his crooked footsteps
Almost let addiction turn me to a monster
Thank God I took a breath
I think it's probably just the way that I was raised
The perfect recipe
What a surprise, I started getting high
F*ck did you expect of me?
My childhood didn't really mean much
Only raising green up
Nah, wait a minute, shit, that was Jay Z
I was only raising a couple middle fingers
I figured I could either build a wall around it
Or drown in all the things that made me sad
My crazy past
My flaky dad
No wonder why I grew into an angry man
But now I'm back for redemption
The beginning of my chapter three
No more showing up with half me missing
No more hiding under apathy
I'd been attempting to kill my nerve endings
Now I'm feeling things I can't believe
Get a mortician, not an interventionist
That's how bad this relapse will be
Damn, I wonder 'bout my younger brother
And if he battles with our dad's disease
'Cause if reality's a motherf*cker
Must have f*cked her while she's having me
Reality can be a motherf*cker
And if life is a bitch
She must be the number one cocksucker
But she can get the dick
Feeling like I'm running out of options
On the top of God's shit list
Look around, you can see that I'm blessed
Couple dollars in my pocket, but I still feel stressed
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for?
Man, I ain't never had shit, but everything is relative
And even if I did, I wanna have more
My mother wanted me to go to school
My pops wanted me to get a job
But I didn't do either
F*cking with all these skeezers
Modeling abroad
I travelled the world
My face in magazines
I lay with the girl
That you only f*cked in your dreams
I was thinking, at this rate
That life could be this great
When I reached the certain age I'm at now
But that was a mistake
'Cause all of the mixtapes
We made, we never ever put out
Feeling so misplaced, living in this age
Working all these dead end jobs
Unable to get paid, only a shit rate
'Cause I got a cheap ass boss
How the hell did I get where I'm at?
I used to be the f*cking man
And I don't even know where I'm goin'
Never had a backup plan
Went from stretch limousines at the age of nineteen
Pretty dope little coke fiend
Town cars to the airport
Exotic stamps on my passport
All of Tahiti know me
Man, where the f*ck did my dreams go, huh?
Used to feel closer when I was younger
But now my hunger hella diminished
And all these little bitches
Be thinking that I'm finished
Between me and them, what's the difference?
That I really lived it, huh?
And they only spit it, huh?
Soon they will come to grips with, what?
Their life could eat a big dick
Reality can be a motherf*cker
And if life is a bitch
She must be the number one cocksucker
But she can get the dick
Feeling like I'm running out of options
On the top of God's shit list
Look around, you can see that I'm blessed
Couple dollars in my pocket, but I still feel stressed
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for?
Man, I ain't never had shit, but everything is relative
And even if I did, I wanna have more
My mother said that I would be a star
My father said that I would be a king
My school said I'd be another black criminal
Behind bars at the age of eighteen
I guess reality's a motherf*cker
'Cause I ain't never been those
Just another blue collar
Pop bottles, get dollars
Smoke yada while I f*ck these hoes
Everything in my life going good
Could you visualize and picture
Probably not, only thing in the hood that's sweet
Is the blunt wrap roll of a Swisher
Tried to go to church, but I couldn't live the lines
That I read, when I scrolled through the scriptures
Tried to get a job but my resume said
Just another dumb, nappy-headed nigga
Took a shot at the rap game
But I missed the backboard
Told my brother we would be on top
Ended up being underground
Like I fell through the trap door
Can you dig it like a fossil?
Word of mouth through the gospel
Reality's a motherf*cker, life is a bitch
And that ho known to tell like a brothel
See, I might be on that bullshit
I said I might be wrong
Ever looked at your life, in the mirror at night
Thinking like, I shoulda been on?
I ain't the only one that felt that
I ain't the only one that want it all
Looking at the life of the rich and the famous
And I'm thinking like I shoulda been one of y'all
Reality can be a motherf*cker
And if life is a bitch
She must be the number one cocksucker
But she can get the dick
Feeling like I'm running out of options
On the top of God's shit list
Look around, you can see that I'm blessed
Couple dollars in my pocket, but I still feel stressed
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for?
Man, I ain't never had shit, but everything is relative
And even if I did, I wanna have more
My mother died when I was young
My father was nowhere around
My grandmother told me to give her money
So I decided to move out
Moved in with my aunt but she flipped
It was only for a couple years
Drugs and depression came and went
Tears and beers with all of my peers
After traveling pretty far
Thought we'd be all around the world
Making music my full time job
But staying local was all we heard
Now I ain't trippin'
'Cause we went missin'
At the height of our popularity
Working a nine-to-five
Being recognized
As a has-been local celebrity
You still rapping, huh?
Doing that music thing?
What was the name that they used to call you?
Like Matty or something?
You on Pandora?
Man, I don't mean to stall you
That's why I gotta keep to myself
Tell nobody I got a talent that they don't have
They just see me work
I put on my smile and just stay on my path
The ones that know always be telling me
When you finally gonna quit working here?
I just laugh 'cause we already know
That I'm gonna be right here next year
I know that you see the IG
And how hard a nigga been workin'
I got the house, got the car
But I know, with all that, that life ain't perfect
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for?
Man, I ain't never had shit, but everything is relative
And even if I did, I wanna have more
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for, huh?
You got it all, you got it all
So what you mad for?
Man, I ain't never had shit, but everything is relative
And even if I did, I wanna have more
