Ain't Hard to Tell

[Intro] Yeah, it's Elmatic, check [Verse 1] Yo let me start you from the Genesis far from where the finish is No role models just empty bottles of Guinnesses Roaches in the ash tray toss and gettin' fast cash the Ski mask way for those who never passed class Born inside of poverty Probably they stack bread and crackheads never looked alive to me Robberies and liquor stores tricks and whores Reality was sick as yours so I blow trees stronger than sycamores Now wait, let me get back to my past As I rewind mine, before I got on the 1-9-9-9 Mother gave birth to this divine mind Born with this arm, leg, leg, arm head like a Quran line No paternity but as I'm turnin' three I learnt to be Strong, pops moved along and he never returned to me Thought I'd feel anger for an eternity I bottled my feelings inside with Pride is never swallowed followed By killers they rise ride off of endo Bustin' off cartridges through your window Different from the one from my Nintendo That line shoulda been my intro, here's when I started rappin' Lookin' up to younger thugs with they heart at trappin' Starter cappin' fly wheels Thick chicks in high heels tellin' me my skills is sick I was only eight slowly fate took its turn I'm where hookers earn, money and drugs sell, it ain't hard to tell [Verse 2] Check, I went to Peck Elementary, Lesenger, Cody To graduate I had to take a semester with homies Too busy writin' none of my time went into my assignments Jot a line as my rhyme schemes maneuver like the Heimlich Use to ditch class for bitch ass Picture me a lot shorter my vocal pitch sound like it switch fast Young and rebellious, hangin' with failures who L twist, the eldest See me saggin' that's what my belts is That's round the same time my mother is ill Collecting mental scars waitin' for the others to heal No one saw the vision everyone's beyond blind Can't think about finding the meaning of life when tryin to define mine I won't pretend its cool, was wet behind the ears So I had to jump in this pool graduate and finish school Niggas was mad that I owned a diploma they was just sleepin They shoulda slept til they domes in a coma I'm that bad shorty who been through the land of Berry Gordy With a buddha man that grew a grand but gained 40 That ain't rich in all my hell I wasn't born with a silver spoon Just a wooden one upon my kitchen wall Now I rock shows from Cali Groves down to Wichita Feelin' like a grew ten feet a couple inches tall Just thinkin' back what was to doubt about my view sunny Now it seems too funny cause even new money gets counted out Nobody believed, only ones was J Barb or JAE.B Group Money investments everyday be cool You thought I fell, it ain't hard to tell
