Story of My Life

Lyrics

[Intro] Ladies and gentlemen For this next piece I'd like to do for you An autobiographical Poetic, stop-motion piece titled Story of My Life Check this out [Verse 1] Check it out I'ma start This rhyme kinda awkward Then slide to the side and the backwards and the forward's Tell you who I am and why I do what I do And tell you who the hell is in my crew I learned that early on that I would be the master of my destiny by mastering the minds of other men who came and tested me None of them have ever bested me or even come close Some said I was the most incredible thing since sliced bread and zippers It ain't go to my head because I ain't no ego-tripper, just an exceptional black man Check it out *sings* On the microphone I father my seed Jemini will make your brain cells bleed I became more than just a man when I got down with Sudan and Nas G and Gods G and Melquon at St. John-To my surprise I ain't have to be no Five Percenter To enter The cipher of a peace squad, so I'm saying peace, God The story of my life (Is who I am and who I be) And that's the story of my life (Who the hell is in my crew?) The story of my life (Why I'm doing what I'm doing) And that's the story of my life [Verse 2] I remember Each September, I'd go around the block To see Who was chillin' out In the spot On a cot Puffing weed, somebody had the nerve to tell me that dough is what I need To get down with their herbs and their spices-Brother, maybe you ain't heard but I'm the nicest thing around Since the days of Methusula And I'ma be around standing on your grave, movin' to harmonic melodies, the symphony That'll bless me-Don't press up Don't push up Don't test me It's strange But I'm always in a Verbal exchange-Brothers jel and they swell and I'm forced to ring they bell-This is why Jemini looks High in the sky and says a prayer, cause evil's lurking Everywhere-I give praise to my mom, she made a beautiful child And to my pops cause they gave me the most beautiful smile you ever seen, watch it gleam In the sunlight One left One right The story of my life is this The story of my life (Will I keep a sense of self?) And that's the story of my life (Will I change with my wealth?) Will I be the type of man to make my momma proud? (Repeat 2x) [Verse 3] My recognised, realised beneath the crest of my dome A gift to use swift words in a poem like fashion-This became a tune as youth smashing up your session Steady progression Has made this my profession I picked up an ear For the kick And the snare And percussion Which sent my blood rushing Through my vessels When I be busting MC's down from building to block To borough I was thorough when it came to my theories of conjecture So check the Audio projector Of soliloquies Of studies The tragedies of Sophocles Embarks on the art With the heart Of a Mozart I utilise the Every fibre of my being Is you seeing what I'm seeing, when, I'm saying what I'm saying?-I'm the day to your night, the star light 'Cause I'm bright-I'm on the left When I write and that's the story of my life The story of my life (Who am I and who are you?) And that's the story of my life (Who the hell is in my crew?) The story of my life (Why I'm doing what I'm doing) And that's the story of my life (Here's my story) The story of my life (As I hang with my people) And that's the story of my life (Use my skill as an equal) The story of my life (Someone's always on the ???) And that's the story of my life (You're blessed if you know me)
