Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah
Shit sound like a magician playin’, yo
Two-parent household, yeah, for us that’s a fantasy
Watchin’ Boyz N The Hood, I relate to the agony
Like stealin’ from the store, coming from broken families
When Ricky get popped at the end, that scene still be sad to me
I was on La Venisia with Diamond and Anthony
Up in Altadena watching gangsta Crips and dope boys
Hoppin’ up outta beamers, they shot at Westside
That’s when he had to drop a heater, fresh outta church on Easter
I’m in my Sunday best, praying I could onе day rest
This shit be tiring, we wеren’t even sharin’ beds
We had Palace on the floor, I swear them was the days
Back in the A, I met a nigga named Earl Hayes
These hoes will make you crash out, fuck what the world say
A random Thursday, it could turn to your worst day
Found out a nigga fucked my bitch, I swear that shit was hell
Damn near took me four months to get back to myself
I’m just tryna do my shit and pay my bills with this music
Go to Bentley from Buick, studied it, still was confusing
These rappers cannot get the files ‘tll I see a wire
These niggas busters and they burnt out like the Eaton fires
Movin’ too casual, you could end up a casualty, dawg
The pain, grief and perseverance, yeah, I mastered ’em all
Went and disconnected the terminal, the battery off
Ain’t gotta prove the lights is working ’cause I’m actually on
I’m breaking out from this emotional incarceration
This run is personal, this verse right here is confirmation
I tailored my life, went through so many alterations
I’m just tryna provide my seed with a solid foundation
Two-parent household, yeah, for us that’s a fantasy
Watchin’ Boyz N The Hood, I relate to the agony
Like stealin’ from the store, coming from broken families
When Ricky get popped at the end, that scene still be sad to me
Two-parent household, yeah, that’s all that I ever knew
Mother kept the house together, pops collected the revenue
Not ever what it seems, through every season a legend grew
My vision skewed, imagine livin’ in hell with a heaven view
Of California palm trees and beaches
On the exterior, everything appears cream and peaches
Hide my molar in the bed, wait for the tooth fairy that never came
But in the mornin’, it was gone
And there was money under the pillow;
I had to accept it even though it seemed suspicious
Innocence, still believe in Santa Claus and Christmas
Everything I thought was true was a war façade
Reality’s ugly, they say it isn’t good for God
Ear to the wall, I’m hearin’ fights in the living room
Bits and pieces of info I wasn’t privy to
Weight on my shoulders made my back fold
Beneath my feet my world crumbled, and I fell inside a black hole
Findin’ out somethin’ isn’t what you thought as a youth is tragic
The magician revealed his trick, now you see through the magic
So many layers for me to peel back, I kept removin’ plastic
Kept a big smile on my face is what I’d do to mask it
Losin’ my cool, the engine overheated, I blew the gasket
Runnin’ on fumes, became a rebel, wanted to break every rule
Across the chessboard, I made every move
Uh, yeah, tsk
Two-parent household, the only thing me and my brothers know
Solid as a rock, but still my pop was a tumblin’ stone
When thrown once in the wash, might get lost in the bubble foam
Dap me up with a closed fist, contact with the knucklebone
Matter fact that’s too much, don’t even touch me
The, the way that these samples would be chopped
It was nothin’ like it to me, y’know I’m sayin, it was straight-up magic
And every time I would hear the beats it was like
