Artist: Fabolous Album: The Soul Tape 2 Song: Transformation Typed by: Gemini_20502K@Yahoo.com [Intro: Sample from an interview with Notorious B.I.G.] 'Cause I know how niggas is when you in the streets and you hustlin you know how niggas is 'Cause you was one of them niggas you know what I'm sayin? You on the corner and tryin to get your money you see a nigga rollin a ride a benz or a beamer You be like fuck that nigga youknow what I'm sayin? 'Cause I'll, I'll murder that nigga I'll rob that nigga you know what I'm sayin? Now I'm the nigga in the benz and the beamer you know what I'm sayin? Drivin that other corner so I know the same speeches comin up you know what I'm sayin? It's all good though, I ain't trippin, I'm that nigga [Verse One: Fabolous] I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck Rather hold my head high and die, than live and duck 'Member I was down to die just to live it up But life's a bitch and that judge is quick to give her up They say life is short, instead we lookin through them bars Gotta keep yo' head up, I be lookin to the stars I've been through alot, wasn't lookin for no cars Didn't kill me though, now I'm hear lookin at the scars Sometimes you get caught by people lookin from a far That's how it is when you out here takin cookies from the jar That's what my son said they came and took him in his draws He support the family they took his mama favorite bra The feds snatched my favorite boy These the rainy days they say you should be savin for But when sun shines no one carry umbrellas And if they did we would look at them as dumb fellas I'm tryin to become somethin they probably become jealous Have alot to say about it but afraid to come tell us I'm hear to beat the odds that was set against me Wish the worst luck to anyone who bet against me I wanna be somebody somebody that's never been No squares in my circle best shape I ever been I'm growin up my daddy planted a seed My mama wanted me with a plan to succeed I was that kid in the ghetto hand full of seeds But I'm here now and I don't plan to recede Sometime I think I lucked up at the right time Imagined I would have fucked up that night slime It hurts to even think about it Would be in these streets thirsty tryin to get a drink about it Black hoodie, I'll pull that quatro cinco 'bout it Put that iron to yo' clothes like I'm takin wrinkles out it Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson and Lincoln out it Look you in yo' eyes and tell you don't you even think about it So as you hear me droppin this rhyme Know my opportunity could have been stopped at a dime The life you chose come from lack of options sometime Gotta do what you gotta do, even optin to crime And who am I? without name droppin it I'm... Someone who saw the top and didn't stop he just climbed Someone who get money without droppin a dime And transform to yo' leader in my Optimus Prime So, for dinner, we stoppin at Prome 'Round of yo' patron, topped with a lime Hold 'em up, look at yo' niggas and say There was no way out but we figured a way And now we chill, load it up and steal We just wish a nigga would but we know a nigga will But for real, good is how you feel But soon as a nigga good is as a nigga will And we don't owe these niggas nothin Put that in a nigga will Yeah!
