25 Random Things About Me (The Remix)

I came in the door, I said it before.
I cherish the twilight.
I’m from the school of hard knocks, sneak peeks and low blows.
I strive to be live because I got no choice.

I gotta stop when you trot my way.
I used to be number 10; now I’m permanent at 1.
I used to read Word Up! Magazine.
I don’t need your respect because I got it made.

I wish I had a quarter for all my people they slaughtered.
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
I got laughed at, I got chumped, I got dissed, I got upset.
I’m wrestling with words and ideas.

I couldn’t find a trace of equality.
I come with the beautiful things.
I got 99 problems.
I’m a poor man’s dream.

I got you stuck off the realness.
I got a whole lot to give, so I’ma give a little at a time.
I try to just throw it at you, determine your own adventure.
I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles.

I saw life for what it’s really worth and took a step back.
I’m not insane; in fact, I’m kind of rational.
I got so much trouble on my mind.
I’m not like anyone else, and in your shoes I couldn’t be in.

And I’m gonna miss everybody.
