Taps - 2001 Lyrics

Twenty zero one when the realest nigga came alive
Out my momma's womb I'm so proud nigga that she's the one
Who patiently carried me two-eighty days till this time
Gotta make her smile
With everything that I got

Grandma raised me well I'm pretty sure that you can tell
I pray the lord protect her every minute every sec
We Never had a lot but I knew that we so blessed
I knew I had your comfort every time that I was stressed

I'm reminiscing about my past When I had my grandad
Taught me how to be a man, Always moving with a plan
Looked up to you now and then, you was like my real dad
Now he's watching over me from heaven cause my gran dead

All them days i shed a tear nigga I couldn't pretend
Man I put it on my momma imma make it
We grew up in the puddle im so used to real dirt
I still keep it too clean like I did the dishes
One Milli on my mind ten Milli on my wish list
I keep a hunnid fake niggas think I'm reaching
Twenty three and counting, God's perfect timing
There's beauty in the struggle
It teach you how to hustle, I still got the muscle

The music is my chauffeur It take me all over
Make a beat and make a hit I can do it when I'm sober
I don't even have to speak when I'm lyrically spoken
I can see it in my dreams they still sleeping on the chosen

One and only like I'm Kobe
You can put it on me
I don't show any emotions cause I gotta stay focus

Niggas throw the rocks at me, I wrestle like Dwayne Johnson
Stretch my mind with a pen of posture like I'm doing yoga

Niggas give me belly laughs
When I barely ever laugh
I don't know who kidding boy I'm one of the best
I'm the first and the last
All the gimmicks never last
I'm in love with the game man this shit is not lust

Let me roll my weed I don't f*ck with the Percs
Fl Studio got my packs
I put my all to this shit I ain't got no f*cks left
They was right when they tell you never trust another man
It's a no man's land nigga

Yeah

"I just turned twenty three on the thirty first of October"
"Born in Halloween"
"Scary hours man"
"And I must say, I'm starting to see the growth now"
"You know what I mean, I'm on a different level"
