When you up they answer quick
When you down they got a broken phone
Some *****t you just cant forget
When you comin from a broken home
With one mom, no dad , two sisters goin through it
Smile on, pretend you good, but you really hurt and no one knew it
School, class, I knew it was somethin that wouldnt last
Cause I didnt need a lecture to pass
And me making beats would never require math
I knew what I wanted before I had it
But I always had it, I was an addict
And this room is feelin just like an attic
Making ten beats a day and goin at it
When my ex-girl tellin me she missed her cycle
Feelin like I got shot with a pistol, rifle
Gauge, wi*****n we was on the same page
But she dont understand I wanna be like Michael
But not up on the ho *****t, yeah I used to be up on the ho *****t
Til I realized I wasnt tall enough
And then I Jump Maned to the music
Got with a couple *****s I was cool with, T-dub tryin to make a movement
Had the same drive, same passion
I never thought that we would ever lose it
And we could never get back, right?
What was done in the dark did hit that light
Tears in your eyes , cant forget that night
Then you stabbed me in the back, I wish Id hit that knife
But it didnt stop me though
Hollered at my uncle Rodney though
He said that he been through the same *****t
And the real ties you make could not be broke
So I went back to my place and I logged into Myspace
Heard a couple beats from a ***** from New Orleans
Im thinkin to myself, man this guys grea
Then we built a brand, right from home
Moved to the A, joined the zone
Learned a lot, moved alone, next thing I knew I was back at home
Now I gotta focus on me, cause *****t got a little bit *****fty
Bills got a little too deep, Im on iChat hollerin at Ricky
While hes sittin in sessions with Keys
Tellin me that I could be the next thing
Tellin me that he believed in my dreams
Its all a matter of time and definitely
Keep working, Hit you gon get to the start-up
Next thing I know its Christmas in Harlem
Right after that Im workin in a palace
Overseas suites, they wonderin like Alice
Goddamn I was just at home,
now Im number three on the throne
I got so many emotions, that I had to make it into a song
Man this is what youre gettin after
Read the index, skip a chapter
Either way youre gonna see me gettin glory
I wanna welcome yall to HITstory
