From Me To You

[Verse 1]
From unsigned hype to unhype signed
From Sha rhymes nice to Sha still rhymes?
Back in the days it was
Take these drugs and bag that dime
Then hit these clubs and bag that dime
To get that shine
From small ass crimes
To long ass grind
I crossed that line
Took all that time
And forced my mind to switch
From messing with girls that’s already taken
To dealing with women, from smashing to dating
I went from being impatient
Dissed the Creator sometimes praying to Satan
To realizing I was bitter and hating
I went from wishing and waiting
For things to happen now I snatch it and take it
I went from wack to your favorite
I went from attic to basement
I mean mainstream to underground
You can’t even place me inside a box when I rock
Went from rapping real basic
To making soul stirring, earth spinning classical statements
It makes your skin twitch, spine tingle can’t even trace it
Went from acting and faking
And rocking shades on the stage
To being passionate making people relate to my pain
I went from hard to difficult
Switched from spitting to bleeding
I was rhyming for money now I view money as freedom
I was nobody, now when you ask who could beat him
The answer’s nobody now, later, ever I’m heated
I was hot, flame scorching now I’m like the human torch
I went from metaphoric orphan to a spiritual fortune good…
God

[Hook 4X]
This goes out to you and you and you and you and you

[Verse 2]
I used to be a
Young emcee wit an old soul
Did a little pitching, swore that I had a dope flow
Listening to Twista but they said I should go slow
I was so close to blowing up but I got exposed though
From kidding and playing
To shifting the way that my shit was conveyed
And then
Cops stopped me on a trip to get paid
Searched the whip, made us strip, I envisioned the cage
Made it out, swear to Christ life was different that day
Just imagine you’re a surgeon with a kid on your table
And you lose ‘em by twist of fate from a simple mistake
And it’s killing your faith
In other words I’m missing my patience
Went from improv to improving
Been in the Matrix
I was focused on radio play and getting fellatio
To trying to change the globe and the college to prison ratio
Used to smoke alone in my zone
Sitting at home, writing hit records
Now I write records that hit home
I be
Killing dudes with every bar thrown
Composing stupid verses in a smart phone
This is not a sermon or a long poem
Sorry if it comes out in a harsh tone
From shooting shots on the court off the bench
To taking shots from a judge in the court on the bench
I was aiming and squeezing and chasing the cheese as a
Atheist heathen almost died started changing my reasoning
Went to sleep, saw my wake in a dream and I started maybe believing facing my demons
Now I’m thankful I’m breathing
Lord

[Hook]
