[00:00.953](Da-da, da-da, da da)
[00:19.723]So don't be mad at me
[00:20.731]I used to breathe asthmatically
[00:22.645]No strategy for whenever brain
[00:24.567]Gets going, counting the stars through the growing pains
[00:26.890]Shoulder blame
[00:27.969]Foot the bill, take a sugar pill
[00:29.572]Over-the-counter drugs, the ones niggas couldn't feel
[00:32.300]Like the wooden wheel
[00:33.372]Ben switched the island with
[00:34.763]Arms stretched
[00:35.533]Head high like a lion sit
[00:37.084]Yeah, I'm trying to get it
[00:38.234]But where did it go
[00:39.429]Under 10 inches of that lake-effect snow
[00:41.785]But I'ma do whatever it takes, so let's go
[00:44.351]Let's go to the projects, let's go to the moon
[00:46.828]Shout to Aes Rock for calling out my spoons
[00:49.369]Shout to hip-hoppers I met in high school
[00:51.841]Y'all saved my life Thursday afternoons
[00:58.486](This goes out to the)
[01:00.706]Ghetto children, making codewords
[01:05.719]In the projects around the world
[01:10.612]Ghetto children, fighting dragons
[01:15.683]In the projects around the world
[01:19.760]Don't overlook it though
[01:20.876]You gotta know what you couldn't know
[01:22.657]Yeah I'm good to gone, head scrutinize
[01:24.750]Put your gloves on and dig for a new surprise
[01:27.153]It might be supersized, use all your muscles
[01:29.653]Get in front of the groove just like a hustle, improve
[01:32.215]The fightin' scuffle, stay sharp for the moment
[01:34.314]I rhyme for survival so the art is a bonus
[01:36.793]I was sparked into motion back when Carson was hosting
[01:39.420]Everything is better when you don't know nothing
[01:41.853]I'm grown so I'm always disgusted
[01:44.005]All these discussions online is mayonnaise versus mustard
[01:46.977]Mayonnaise people think French can't be trusted
[01:49.362]Mustard people think eggs is all busted
[01:51.753]But **** it
[01:52.348]We in it for the pattern interruptions
[01:58.278](This goes out to the)
[02:00.566]Ghetto children, hacking networks
[02:05.523]In the projects around the world
[02:10.593]Ghetto children, splicing cables
[02:15.592]In the projects around the world
[02:19.639]So don't be mad at me, I overthink things radically
[02:22.614]King Tragedy, Prince Everlong
[02:24.538]Never shake up my eight-ball 'cause it's never wrong
[02:26.982]I sing whatever song I damn well please
[02:29.358]Vintage 5deez or tempted by squeeze
[02:31.658]My dispensary’s closed and I meant to buy weed
[02:34.304]I'm salty at the airport in security
[02:36.802]Tragic is the story of the cookie face king
[02:39.260]Long black trench on the roof like Sting
[02:41.817]Pointing bats at my enemies let it be known
[02:44.324]Pull up at the show hitting every orange cone
[02:46.773]I park where I want but I cry if I'm towed
[02:49.359]I don't really know where it's right to buy clothes
[02:51.780]Unregulated labor made all that I own
[02:54.243]Can I make an impact if I strike the right tone
[02:56.760]And keep saying words into microphones
[02:59.086]It goes
[03:00.621]Ghetto children, solving problems
[03:05.663]In the projects around the world
