Generate meaning
1
Yeah, yeah, Space Age forever; Niggas and hos better recognize
2
Eightball and MJG, been ten toes down in this game
3
Since we were two young playas in a one-horse town
4
Then hopped to a muthafuckin' grasshopper
5
Nigga, my life would have been done got cut off
6
If my dues weren't paid
7
It's a thinnin' line between wrong and right
8
Trapped in a trap till the mornin' light
9
Ghetto ain't left me no choices; I had to fight
10
My mama and daddy was too young to raise me right
11
Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made
12
Niggas dead, niggas gone; I still ain't afraid
13
Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played
14
My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid
15
In the middle of doin' crime; it never stopped me from writin' rhymes
16
It never stopped me from playin' music
17
God, but it didn't mean I had to use it
18
It was obvious: I had to give up the streets for the beats
19
Not knowin', but havin' faith on just how long that it would be
20
Before I made it, before somebody picked up my tape and played it
21
With a remark like, "Hey, played that instrumental, you cat's got potential."
22
In the process of doing talent shows, parties, and mix tapes
23
We even put it down on some of our homeboys jail release dates
24
I can remember in the past closin' down at fast foods
25
Strictly stickin' to my dreams, but feelin' like I'd be the last dude
26
Who can make it in this rap; I thought that they ain't gon' see me in Memphis
27
It was like a time they looked over Tennessee
28
And didn't know hip-hop was in us
29
To all my vets in the game, I got love; stay on your toes
30
'Cause back in the days, I used to use your 4-5 instrumental to do my shows
31
And, look, I was seventeen when I signed my first contract
32
And about eighteen and a half when I signed my worst contract; we hurt from that
33
And till this day they still distributin' our first tape
34
Before Comin' Out Hard, now can you feel it?
35
Be humble and patient with whatever you should choose
36
'Cause to get to where I am right now, I done paid my dues
37
It's a thinnin' line between wrong and right
38
Trapped in a trap till the mornin' light
39
Ghetto ain't left me no choices; I had to fight
40
My mama and daddy was too young to raise me right
41
Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made
42
Niggas dead, niggas gone; I still ain't afraid
43
Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played
44
My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid
45
A c-note for a concert; I know that sounds preposterous
46
Nigga, we didn't have a pot to piss
47
So we got on stage, and we rocked the bitch
48
Fuck the cheese; I love to see my niggas in the front row
49
Get buck wild, start a fight; the police make a nigga stop the show
50
Niggas all in the parkin' lot, bustin' shots, fuckin' with hos
51
Box Chevy with the spokes and vogues
52
Niggas didn't know shit about a twenty inch Mo-Mo
53
Hard head, young nigga don't believe that shit till I see that shit
54
See them heavyweight niggas; one day, I'm gonna be that shit
55
Okay, everybody know everybody done sold dope, ran with a gang
56
Pimp some hos and snorted a little coke, but, uh
57
I'm space again, and we'll forever be
58
Eightball, the fat mack, and M-J-fuckin'-G
59
Turn the page from then to now, and we still grindin'
60
Small clubs and small towns think they bouncin', and we find them
61
Put them on the guest list, make them pump their fist and get buck to this
62
Make one of them weed smokin', gangsta bitches get fucked to this
63
Expand, give all my true fans what they demand
64
Do my part again and, uh, come out hard again, and, uh
65
Keep space again, and we'll forever be
66
Eightball, the fat mack, and M-J-fuckin'-G
67
It's a thinnin' line between wrong and right
68
Trapped in a trap till the mornin' light
69
Ghetto ain't left me no choices; I had to fight
70
My mama and daddy was too young to raise me right
71
Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made
72
Niggas dead, niggas gone; I still ain't afraid
73
Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played
74
My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid
