I have seen a lot less than a quarter century
63
Eventually I just want to teach elementary
64
Maybe high school, coaching B-Ball on the side
65
Take 'em to the playoffs and still pay all my ties
66
(I) spray off the flies and the fleas every night
67
They attracted to the light, and believe I shine bright
68
But before they try to bite me, I ignite big flames
69
But they stay in my garden like Spike at Knicks games
70
I write and spit pain, for the brothers who can't
71
And live large for the brothers who can't
72
And I provide a father figure for the kids with single mothers who can't
73
Everybody say they real 'til you discover who ain't
74
(Yup Yup) I'm still great and I ain't even on my grind yet
75
Just consider me a star who ain't learn to shine yet

These are more than words, it's more than rap
