We Make

I was that bad ass kid The one that you was afraid of Ran my mouth more than Pac Could turn your daughter to Jada Always talking in class Teacher hated my guts But knew that I had charisma Deep down she knew I'd blow up I was that hoop shorts under jeans Down to hoop at any time Bumping Kanye on my iPod Knew every single line Yeah I bought that CD Nigga when it came out I ran my first fade the same week In front of James' house You see, I am the culture And you know that very well I'm rolling these L's I'm cutting my jeans I'm braiding my hair I'm fucking the kids I see that you like, you imitate well But never give credit and that be upsetting to kid I mean I'm cool with self expression But you would never come where I live Now you see why I got my hand out like the Gross sisters Yeah I hold my pennies proud But you know you owe niggas So nigga, you gon' have to sit and watch me vent I'm responsible for everything that's cool But still I don't own shit We was them bad ass kids With them big ass dreams We never listened to no one And never cared what you think Cause we made everything everything We made the world go around So tell me what it is and what it's gon' be Quit acting like you know me, dawg I put up with too much in life to act like I'm your homie, dawg Could hardly pay for college yet I'm still kicking that knowledge And my girl is not a model but she's what the models copy Got addiction to the bottle in my family, that don't stop me Cause I'm indestructible, one day live like the Huxtables Riding with my Claire that do hair and play the dozens too And then walk to the liquor store and play all the numbers I choose Put Bantu knots in her hair then give me head, then cook me food Truth be told you are my dream girl and I make my dreams come true Truth be told you not imperfect, they just mad they can't be you Truth be told they break me down every day but I fight for you I might cry for you, hold it down and do the time for you Never lie to you, baby I'm a king, that's what I gotta do In the midst of all this shit, imitation is just flattery So when I look around I know the world is smiling back at me Or better yet us, cause we not like the rest We was made to walk this way and you know that we walk the best So whether I eclipse like a star or never see that life at all I find comfort as we smoke this joint knowing the world is ours We was them bad ass kids With them big ass dreams We never listened to no one And never cared what you think Cause we made everything everything We made the world go around
