[00:13.05]Since the lunch room tables
[00:14.26]Cypherin' in hallways
[00:15.30]Being young willing and able
[00:16.51]Outerspace always
[00:18.00]
[00:18.70]Was ready to do it hard to earn
[00:20.54]Illmatic played a heavy influence
[00:22.55]Scars I burned still
[00:23.70]At it I was steady pursuing
[00:25.54]A way to get a piece
[00:27.17]Of this pie right through this music
[00:28.67]The game kept increasing
[00:29.71]My high lets keep it moving
[00:31.26]'Till my name get released is the sky

[00:38.34]In and out of clubbing
[00:39.79]The other six months
[00:40.95]I'm seekin' out production
[00:42.28]Constantly makin' moves
[00:43.68]Havin' time for nothing
[00:44.64]
[00:45.18]Constantly breaking rules
[00:46.57]When its time for crushing
[00:48.22]Dropping these vicious rhymes
[00:49.50]On the dime is lovely
[00:50.82]'Till my squad open wide
[00:52.29]On the side they love me
[00:53.65]Do this for y'all Planetary
[00:55.10]But the rest disgust me

[01:39.37]It was always me and Crypt
[01:40.63]Till this day we never separate
[01:42.22]In high school battling
[01:43.32]They took me lightly
[01:44.54]My skins a little lighter
[01:45.80]At the end they didn't like me
[01:47.42]I cooked them
[01:48.07]And i took them to a place
