Lil B — My History

[Intro] Real shit man It's crazy, because a lot of niggas don't know where to go 'cause a lot of niggas don't know what their past is You know, our history was burned and shit But, it's good because niggas can write history every day, you feel me? I'm doing something every day [Verse 1] A lot of niggas cry, but speak no fear Behind closed doors, is niggas shooting dice on the floor Brought the colored ones for luck, right before A piss test from my P.O., behind the BART tracks Sipping liquor, having dreams with my niggas,"If this rap shit work out I'm buying all my family a Beamer" I don't pay attention to that fly shit, the hunger in my stomach Make most niggas on land seasick Back to the story at hand, at the dice game Right before the piss test, my P.O. came Four niggas by my side, we chosen for this probation Held slavery in discrete forms But then you got to realize, a lot of violent black men in the world Make me want to pull my nine on niggas And I'm a peaceful dude, just trying to hustle to get my food I ain't saying that we poor, but we want a little more In this life, where no one's sure Unless you're born into the money, our history was burned So if I was a king, I wouldn't know the answer Shit, they ask me to pull my pants up This style war's shit, this the freedom of dress Can't even dress to impress, I'm so depressed Because no one's happy for you until you die Then you cry out of happiness, "I'm alive" [Hook x2] Blood, I don't know my history I'm just trying to find out where I came from It's a struggle to survive, where I come from We all left behind, where I come from [Verse 2] I'm on a telescope, niggas studying my life The modern day sacrifice, walking down the street common I see the pain, look through my own two eyes Niggas ask me for advice, I just give them a life The pimp game poisonous, we gain for free Because I need it, O.G.'s give the game to me No one to look up to, no dad That's a tough move, sided core like a truck do See working long nights on the bus, move The passion's in my heart to see all success Had to drive myself, just to be the best I aim for the fame, and just show the respect In return, real niggas start to cashing the checks His to me, every day History every day, shit, minds will burn But I move, realize 'til the day was earned Shit, I reals Shit, I realize today was earned My history was urned, but today was earned Lil B, Gold Dust Mixtape Rare shit [Bridge] You know, you can make history every day It don't matter if you don't know where you come from [Hook x2] Blood, I don't know my history I'm just trying to find out where I came from It's a struggle to survive, where I come from We all left behind, where I come from - Lil B
