I'm not the type that likes to think about the times I was broke reminisce on how everybody thought my rhymes was a joke I played if fair while competitors were buying their vote But thats life I ain't crying I cope They talk about I owe them somethin, but they the ones thats holdin me back They the same people bringing me down, so thats why anytime I hop up on the mic there ain't no holding me back Watch I show ya'll the meaning of clown Until I'm under the ground They won't disrespect or slander my name It takes more than a strong mind to handle the fame I'm walking one path in this broad, scandalous game If you don't have an umbrella don't stand in the rain It gets deep boys losing they life cause of their rappin Get jacked lose their car cause of their cappin Alot of cats exaggerate on the things that they lackin But I'm real baby ain't no actin, just real action
[Chorus: Chamillionaire singing] Seems Only Times When I'm Balling Balling Balling Balling Foreigns, Lacs Are Crawling, Now Hood Rats Are Calling My Stacks Is Tall and To Them Baps and Frauds But Hey Where Was You At The Other Day Never See Myself, Falling Falling Falling Falling Picture Me Falling Off from Rappin Back To Starving No Lacs Or Foreigns, Gucci Hats Or Jordans Hey I Couln't Ever See The Day-ay-ay
[Paul Wall] I wish I could forget how I didn't have a friend in the world More than a dollar to spend on a girl But now them boys talking down cuz now I'm realer than a genuine pearl While thier sweeter than a cinnamon swirl.... I'm Real My whole life I never acted fruad or fake There must have been some kind of large mistake Because I've been stuck out like a broken down garage or gate I paid dues while they charged me hate One thing I learned is no matter what nobody can dodge their fate Don't try to rush life like guards, at florida state Slow down rookie take ya time god ain't late Do your chores don't go to war with a rake I'm tryin to soar to be great thats why I'm fly, looking for wealth I don't want to be just another book on the shelf I stopped looking for help when I looked to myself I got the whole world under my belt
[Chorus: Chamillionaire singing] Seems Only Times When I'm Balling Balling Balling Balling Foreigns, Lacs Are Crawling, Now Hood Rats Are Calling My Stacks Is Tall and To Them Baps and Frauds But Hey Where Was You At The Other Day Never See Myself, Falling Falling Falling Falling Picture Me Falling Off from Rappin Back To Starving No Lacs Or Foreigns, Gucci Hats Or Jordans Hey I Couln't Ever See The Day-ay-ay
[Paul Wall] You won't hear my brag about the struggles I endured as a kid How selfish and ungreatful people got more than I did I did my chores damn near went to war to be rich They think its just a game cuz I'm throwed, more than a pitch I lost a lot of teammates to jealousy and greed Planted seeds and watched them get swallowed up by weeds I'm tryin to live comfortably and have the things that I need Its true the best things in life are free But I got people in my face that are influenced by hate and pride Hiding behind their ego's engulfed in lies But I dont' walk around looking like my dog just died I couldn't get rid of my smile if I tried My face shine bright, you'll never see my grin grow dim Even when I only had one friend I couldn't dive into the ocean until I taught myself how to swim But I ain't tryin to think about back then
[Chorus: Chamillionaire singing] Seems Only Times When I'm Balling Balling Balling Balling Foreigns, Lacs Are Crawling, Now Hood Rats Are Calling My Stacks Is Tall and To Them Baps and Frauds But Hey Where Was You At The Other Day Never See Myself, Falling Falling Falling Falling Picture Me Falling Off from
