The Age Of Aquarius: Awakening My Emotions Through Poetry

1985 Reprise

1995 I arrived

Twenty three years damn I'm grateful I survived

We wasn't supposed to get passed Red Bluff High

Jokes on you motherfucker we alive

All these bitches poppin' now is young

Everybody say the music that they make is dumb

I remember I was 18

Scared, unaware, hoping never to be seen

You gotta give a girl a chance to grow some

Give a girl a chance to get to learn something these days

Went from smoking dope to snortin' coke um

Hoping that it's nothing more than just a short phase

Girl you need to come back find your way

Walking round cloudy and confused in a daze

She don't even know her fucking days

First time on her own damn right she came to play

Man she barely old enough to drive

To tell her what she should do who the fuck am I?

I heard she tried to kiss him I'm surprised

She never been the kiss and tell type

Come here baby girl, let me talk with ya

See if I can paint for you the large picture

Congrats cus you made it out ya mamas house

I hope you make enough to buy ya mom a house

I see ya eyes glossy and ya mind soaring

I got some good advice that shit gone get boring

They know you round the block that shit is fake fame

You want to get out now this shit is not a game

She promise things are different and that she's changed

Sadness in her voice like it's a bad thing

Cus everything's expensive she don't pop now

Saving funds is the shit that's hot now

See, she been on a quest for the next wave

Looking to invest the money that she saved

I must say by your drive I'm impressed hey

Cus I love to see a bad bitch get paid

And plus you having fun and I respect that

But I wonder if you think about your impact

These little girls love that you don't give a fuck

Cus that's exactly what's expected when you counting stacks

They wanna see you dance

They wanna see you make a bill

They wanna see you tatted from your face to your heels

And somewhere deep down fuck it she gotta get real

She wanna go back and tell her it ain't all it feels

So when you turn up, know that I'm turning up too

You hit the next city collect your money when it's due

You getting that paper fuck them dishes those days are through

You ain't thinking 'bout the people that ain't thinking about you, true

You got betta shit to do

You went and bought a crib with all the bread that you done grew

She never thought this type of revenue that she's be getting

Hard work and dedication got her here that much is true

One day them kids that's watching they gone grow up

Her story gets retold them lessons they gone blow up

They gone learn from who you are them kids gone glow up

That very fortunately means that you done showed up

No longer scrambling and hoping to get hot again

Almost forgot she only popped cus she was riding trends

Now she old news, but there's nothing she regrets

Cus she got herself a house and she got herself a Benz

And a bunch of jewels and a bunch of shoes

And a bunch of dope friends, girl I'm proud of you

I'm just telling you what's probably gone happen when you rapping bout the type of shit you rapping bout

It's a faster route to the top

I wish you good luck

I'm hoping for your sake they ain't as dumb as they look

But if it's really true what people saying

That you up and left and rearranged your name then I really know your luck trust

You'll be around forever cus you never fell off

To all the girls out there that think they wanna play soft

Just remember shit ain't handed it gotta get got

In five years you gone be in love and on top

For real
