The Wonder Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Reks] I used to contemplate an escape from reality Face the mirror state I hate you waste of space Then chase a Henny chased by more Henny Me and my inebriated state needed fate Fate would have it I go on to make Say goodnight take a flight NY city see me in the booth where they creatin' 'Nas is like' hot as like Take us from them drunken nights to the heights Minus plights and minus the kids Can't forget them Wonder Years years Where I wonder where next meal provided decided To try my hand again now we find Reks with Hi-tek A gem hidden in the dirt eternally reflectin' them verse From the worst thirst to the throat quench made no sense To convince me I can make it there make it here make it anywhere From Wonder Years Yes I profess I from projects to high rise rise All of them doubts defied now back to cloud 9 [Hook - Reks] Cus all the days that I spent gettin' wasted Listening to my instrumentals I ain't had no pay for the rent Not one red cent Wonderin' what I'm in this game for Cuz in gets cold be low low Low lo lo lo lo low low low Oh the things I've done for my meal Thank God I made it through the Wonder Years [Verse 2 - Reks] Had my first taste of heaven at the age of eleven Took a drink with the Reverend I ain't lyin' Uncle was on the drugs Fast forward Corey swervin' in the fast lane Buzzed and buggered and blacked out when the crash came Couple bumps and bruises but fuck a scratch man Whip's in the ditch and my wife she gon trip fam This around the time I was flippin' petty Nickel dime shit not by design kid I was trippin' on the sign said dead jail or phone a friend I was homeless and O took me in fed a nigga Bet you niggas see me in the Beam lookin' bummy Same jeans a week straight ain't offer a plate Yanaamean? And it's funny how they love me now Knew I'd always make it out pass on backs stabs abound Simmer down fuckin' clowns on top they love you The bottom nobody cares grey hairs now Lookin back on Wonder Years [Hook - Reks] Cus all the days that I spent gettin' wasted Listening to my instrumentals I ain't had no pay for the rent Not one red cent Wonderin' what I'm in this game for Cuz it gets cold be low low Low lo lo lo lo low low low Oh the things I've done for my meal Thank God I made it through the Wonder Years [Verse 3 - Reks] Reks savage blessed actors forget rappers I'm next as if I got my ticket to get package FedEx the walking papers match make em mat marriage Start livin' my life for wife and carriage Daddy daycare oh yeah I change diapers Still pencil lines that change your life up Like the DC sniper last of the freedom writers My vice of life the cigs and alcohol Add up all my headaches I said I'm in the finish havin a ball I'm sure you Mr. Tyler now To reference the Wila y'all Left stage bartender holla' find a call Gotta get my drink on It help me get my think on On beats I can get Talib Kweli deep on Back to the Wonder Years Younger kids transform our underwears Under influence of a movement Brewin' in the Bronx Doin' what we want Latch key child my past was wild Lend me ya ears for them Wonder Years [Hook - Reks] Cus all the days that I spent gettin' wasted Listening to my instrumentals I ain't had no pay for the rent Not one red cent Wonderin' what I'm in this game for Cuz in gets cold be low low Low lo lo lo lo low low low Oh the things I've done for my meal Thank God I made it through the Wonder Years
