As You Keep Shooting The Ball, You

We Was Just Young Guys Who Wanted To Change. We Got Tired Of Doin' This Same Everyday Bullshit That We Was Doin', And We All Felt Like We Had Dreams O' Bein' A Big Star. You Know, As Far As With Myself, I Never Really Took It That Serious As Bein' A Star. I Only Took It That Serious As Bein' A Emcee, Which Is Two Different Things. You Know What I Mean?

I Got Beef With Commercial-ass Niggas With Gold Teeth Lampin' In A Lexus Eatin' Beef.

When You Grow Up In That Environment Of Drugs And Guns And People Gettin' Hurt, It Start To Reflect Your Background. And I Think, At That Time When I Was Doin' It, That's All I Knew. But As I Got Older In The Business, I Stopped Bein' Involved With That, And I Started To Look At The World. And I Said, 'yo, I Wanna Start Talkin' About Everything That Goes On In The World. I Don't Wanna Just Limit Myself To One Style'.

I Think That's A Weak Excuse, To Say Because A Rapper's Getting Older That He Ain't Got It No More. Nah. Don't Go By That Philosophy. Let's Just Recognize That Talent Is Within.

The Main Thing I Look At Is: Is It From The Heart? If I Know That You Down With Me, Then We Always Gonna Be Down Through Whatever The Thick And Thin.
