[00:01.64]Amar, Amar, c'mon
[00:02.47]Yeah Dad, what?
[00:03.32]Hope you did your homework already
[00:05.29]I did that already, c'mon Dad
[00:07.20]Nah, it's time to go to..
[00:08.37]C'mon listen..
[00:09.06]What happened?
[00:10.44]I was at school today I said AZ's my daddy, they said, "Jay-Z? Nas?"
[00:13.60]What, what?
[00:15.50]Tell me the story again?
[00:16.85]Ok, ok
[00:19.79]Aight, this is how it went down, here we go..
[00:23.81]We talkin' a few years before you even appeared
[00:25.96]I was into my little gear
[00:27.45]Yeah - weed and my beer
[00:28.92]Hustlin' out of fear, fear of bein' a square
[00:31.72]Like them cowards with no gear
[00:33.41]They just breathin' the air
[00:34.70]Son, clear, but didn't realize life ain't fair
[00:37.68]With one drive-by, it could end your life right there
[00:40.44]Though I'm a fly guy, from then, tied my Nikes, like chea
[00:43.50]**** the world we can fight right here, I don't scare
[00:46.48]From beer, no more nightmares here, not a tear
[00:50.17]I was straighter than the white man's hair
[00:52.31]Met Nasir, had that hype that year
[00:54.98]Like a kite, threw me a mic
[00:56.51]I took flight right there, chea
[00:58.53]Rap wise I was nice I swear
[01:00.86]Went fool with the jewels, even iced my ears
[01:03.83]New school, I was cool, wore righteous wears
[01:06.60]But from the door they didn't like that there, I ain't care
[01:10.05]As long as I left the china white right there
[01:12.51]And understood that you could change a life through prayer
[01:15.34]But it's all good, police even politely stared
[01:18.17]It was unreal, but still now it feels slightly weird
[01:21.30]I was spared, gave love, taught my peers
[01:24.18]Though it was rough, never gave up, fought my fears
[01:27.05]Now it's like "what?"
[01:28.19]I'm G'ed up, awesome glare
[01:30.20]Entertainer from the streets with a sportsman's flair
[01:32.70]There, that's good enough for you?
[01:36.44]Dad, Dad, what's "G'ed up?"
[01:38.46]Listen man, don't worry about that now, just go to sleep
[01:41.50]Ok, ok
[01:42.40]I'll tell you that later on.. but you know what?
[01:45.29]What, what what?
[01:46.55]I got one more quick story to tell you
[01:48.13]Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[01:49.31]Maybe you could take this story, and tell your friends at school this one:
[01:53.86]Heeeeere we go!
[01:56.54]Out the gate, he who hate - himself ain't straight
[01:59.04]He a snake, he the type who send himself upstate
[02:01.87]Catch a case for a plate
[02:03.61]He ain't have to take, he coulda
[02:05.53]Played it safe, said his grace and ate
[02:08.04]But it's fate, when a person makes certain mistakes
[02:10.67]What a waste, how the world..
[02:12.74]
