My Way

[Verse] Yeah I'm lukewarm now but I was cold once The rap game won't accept me, I ain't got gold fronts I don't cruise on dubs, I don't shoot up clubs I don't push weight homie, I never moved drugs But I did start from the bottom Had a hard head, soft bottom And now the Billboard charts got him Ranked at number one, and thanks to everyone Who appreciates what I'm doin' here The beats that I make are a keepsake, like a souvenir But I wasn't always doin' music I was stupid and foolish Livin' life recklessly Like the time when the magistrate arrested me I was writin' like, check after check every week Couldn't help it but the money interested me But I wised up quick, best believe that Now I only cop a sweater if I need that, yeah I came a long way from pickin' up chicken at Dodge's To bein' on stage, shimmyin' next to Roger Those were the good days, but I'm forgettin' Some of them didn't want me in, they said that I was different So I fell back, and I prayed about it Couple days later, heard them boys had came around and Now I'm onstage with a cane, shoutin' my name Yeah, y'all know the rest Yeah, and there are many other instances to speak about But I ain't mention 'em on purpose, had to leave 'em out Cause if I told you everything that I've been through You'd probably wanna jump up out the window And if I told you 'bout the things that I've seen You might scream 'til your eyes pop out like high beams Have your ass drinkin' Visine, yeah I did it my way Like Baskin-Robbins ice cream, Irene take it away!
