The Timeline Lyrics

[Hook]
Let me explain to you all a story where my mind is at
Where is that exact place? (Repeat 4x)

[Verse 1]
Comin' up, I'm a young Jet like J.J. the jet plane, nigga
Now around this time, I'm like somewhere between five and eight
Not the height though
So I'm barely gettin' off the training wheels
Remote controlled cars, playin' with the Tyco
Grew up with a pretty girl named Jasmine
Moved and met back in high school
Different story, this is back to when I was eight
Tryin' to buy that Sean Carter, volume 2
But my mommy didn't let me buy that because of the parental advisory
Ooh... Nigga what, nigga who?
So you mean I can't play that?
Wrote down my first rhyme that my daddy recorded on the A-Dat
Arlington Heights elementary, think I was A-Track (uhh)
I had a teacher in the fifth grade that said I would be somethin'
If I paid attention (uhh)
I had a teacher in the fourth grade, read Harry Potter
To the whole class like classroom conduct
Eventually, I fell in love with the whole series
In which expanded my creativity not to mention

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
What's up, what's up, this is Audubon
A young scrub, I'm tryin' to prove I'm not
I met Jorge in the sixth grade playin' System of a Down and Linkin Park on the drums
Uhh
Word to Serj...
Brenner's Jimmy's cousin and I met him first
Yeah, woah what a first day, Royanae walks in
Pretty face, brown skin, look at her curves
God...I think I'm gettin' into girls now
At this age how I look at the world now
Skip to the seventh grade and my homie Kevin told her and I got turned down
So what... You know what the mission is
They've got drums, let me play, Mr. Merideth
In between flag football, broken arms, bee bee guns
Gotta get the waves for the heritage

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Ooooh, now we're in high school
Them girls is gettin' older, I'm tryin' to be that fly dude
But I am too shy too... What's up
Throwin' passes, where your corners at?
Dreams of playin' quarterback since DB was at quarterback
Learned to freestyle thinkin' I'm too cool for school
So I'm feelin' as smooth as Max
But that was after Tilly stated my name as Jet 2, in fact
At the time, I was feelin' that, so I took it and ran with it
Literally ran track with it, until I ran a track with it
But back to them passes, it really didn't work out like I visioned it
Long story short, I was shorter than the story is
So I didn't start at quarterback on varsity
But my football pads was all I needed, and DDP and
My spikes for track and a girl that went to Crenshaw High School
How swagged is that? Yeah!

[Hook]
