Transitions

Welcome to the world the fake reality in CG
When no one is aware and all scared of speaking freely
They use the same cloth to brainwash us and its easy
To make you believe anything they put it on your TV
And everybody watches it like they ain't got no choice
Remembering the days when kids was playing with they toys
From the pain of blisters to the nappy braids on my sister
Can’t remember scripture but can paint a picture til its 3D
B. Keyz, hungry for the life of living easy
So let me give the world a taste of what its like to be me
I came from the Brook and nowadays I'm overbooked
After 27 years of overlooking like they proof read
They use to never wanna listen and now they be like "who he?"
And everybody think they know you cuz they heard your CD
Love me or you hate me you a fan either way
Let me explain how I became the man you see today
High school was the worst my popularity was knee deep
I walked around that bitch feelin' like nobody could see me
And not cuz i was nice a nigga felt like he was invisible
To all the student body the whole staff and the principle
Never got the girls the only looks were from the creatures
I never made the team, watched the games from the bleachers
I aim for the stars if I can see em I can reach em
For my first piece of ass I tried to smash my math teacher
I bet she woulda did it if my civic was DeLorean
And that’s what i would call being a valedictorian
I knew a couple kids who lived the honor roll and passed it
They roam the halls for hours can't remember where there class is
All white school with black girls were the fastest
Name plate and necklaces and tats above they asses
Dudes was doing dip they bottom lip was looking tragic
Every week was fashion week the clashing of the fabrics
As is, I mastered the tactics to get to the finish line
I coulda did backflips if it wasn't for no friend of mine (I wasn't no dapshit?)
Just me and my homies reaching our goals with no hat tricks
Gotta make sure the cat fit
Four long years now here we are
Walking up to the stage have me feeling like I'm a star
They call my name I grab my diploma baton and strolled off and drove off and left it on top of the car, damn
So what's my next move I gotta plan it out
I need to find a way to get up out my grandma house
Besides I really wasn't all that popular
And I'm tired of fitting in I need to stand out
Maybe ill go to school and do this music shit
Let these niggas know exactly who they foolin with
And all this thinkin got me up right now
When I didn’t know my whole world would turn upside down
College was something different man
I had to go and do it
Since every other male inside my family was truant I had to break the cycle
Its something I’ve been known for doing
Finally had a dream and made a choice to go peruse it
I came into a school and once again i was the newest
Mu hobby introduced me to a body full of students
There were rappers and producers
Everybody makin music
But plenty never knew what it takes to really do it
Till I met this one kid whos passion was the truest
As soon as he heard me rap we made a pact and stuck to it
Hit the dorm room after class tryna record tunes
Before soon these two dudes performing for the whole school
And every loan was screaming we want debt
And at the end of each semester get that refund check
Spend it all at once, I hit the mall and I stunt
I guess i finally got the nerve to cop whatever i want
Even though I'm broke, that don’t matter I was still upper echelon
Chefing up the rhyming like a five star restaurant
Passing my pajamas no passion for the drama
Started smoking marijuana and still passing with the honors
Soon to be a scholar imma graduate with income
They promised me a job but ain't do shit to help me get one
21 and black with a bachelors was the outcome
And I wish I woulda known that i woulda been fine without one
I got a job now in the city of dreams
Working with different artists but it ain't what it seems
Slaving behind the scenes and setting up their rehearsals
This industry ain't real as I thought its all commercial
And this side of the fence ain’t where I belong
Its been taking all my time man these albums are long
But little did I know it was all part of the plan
Because a year later we did our first show as a band
And now we on, a long way from touring in vans
12 deep (cold sheets and ensuring a can?)
Over cooking, with no need to oil the pan
I owe my success to yall the most loyal of fans
So don't believe the rumors that may fly through the air
Cuz right now I'm telling all the buyers beware
Of the T-M-Zs, the tabloids and the media
