Transformation by Fabolous
Transformation lyrics
I�m old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck,
Rather hold my head high and die than living dumb.
Remember I was down to die just to live it up,
But life�s a bitch and I judge it�s quickly given up.
They say that life is short, several looking through the bars,
Gotta keep your head up, I be looking to the stars.
I be doing like, wasn�t looking for no cause,
They ain�t kill me, though, now I�m here looking at the scars.
Sometimes you get caught by people looking from a far
That�s how it is when you out here taking cookies from a jar.
That�s what my son said, they came and took him and his draws
He support the family, they took the mama favorite bro.
To face, that�s my favorite bar,
Here�s the rainy days they say you should be saving for.
But when sun shines no one carries umbrellas
And if they did, they be looking dumb like dumbfellas.
I�m trying to become some, they probably become jealous,
Have a lot to say about it, but afraid to come tell us.
I�m here to beat the odds that were set against me,
Wished the worst left to anyone who bet against me.
I wanna be somebody, somebody that�s never been
No squares in my circle, best shape I ever been.
I�m growing up, my daddy planted a seed,
My mama watered me with a plan to succeed.
I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds,
But I�m here now and I don�t play a receipt.
Sometimes I think I love to back a right time,
Imagine I would�ve fucked up that night slime.
It hurts to even think about it,
Would be in the streets, thirsty, trying to get a drink about it.
Black pouty, I pull that quarto cinque
While they put that iron to your clothes
Like I�m taking wrinkles out it.
Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson and Lincoln out it,
Look you in the eyes and tell you don�t you even think about it.
So as you�re hearing dropping this rhyme,
Know that my opportunity couldn�t be stopped at a dime.
The life you chose come from lack of options in time,
Gotta do what you gotta do, even acting a crime.
And who am I? Without a name, dropping an arm,
Someone who sold a copy and then he just stopped, he just climbed.
Someone who get money without dropping a dime
Transform to your leader and my optimus prime.
So, for dinner you�re stopping at prom,
Run at your patron, top of the line
Hold �em up, look at your niggers and say
There was no way out, but we figured a way.
And now we chill, loaded up a still,
I just wish a nigger would but I know a nigger will.
But for real, good is how you feel,
But as soon as a nigger good is as soon as a nigger will.
And we don�t own these niggers nothing,
Put that in a nigger will, yeah
