Lupe Fiasco - Old School lyrics

This is well proven fact man
Laser beams on top of mats and
Faded jeans and El Rukn hats man
Gangsta scene failed moving pack yeah
But, you can tell that I
Failed shootin' that man
You see I excelled moving that kinda
Hard to explain where you and L-U at man
Smooth criminals, cats pushing ki's
Gangsta leans flipping quarters
Drive through giving orders
But ya'll don't understand me it's like
Bravo Pagering, breakin' balls, puttin'
Blows in the faces of the fiends
I was peepin' through the cracks, yeah
Niggas tryna stab 'em in they back, runnin'
Game on the dames
They stay strapped make you
Part of the war, this is

You see, Little Rascal but I was Otay
Any could relate to any
Even though she ain't have a family
Life had a few hard knocks but I
Turned out okay
Tryin' to write this in my own
Mind, yeah, but I'm no Jay, now
It Was Written
Couldn't justify why no Timberlake, I
Mind your
Own business don't deliberate mine, went from
Refrigerate to incinerate fly of
The inner state
If you wanna go berserk, put you
Picture on a T-Shirt will commemorate dye
Die, if thee wanna test we like
Yes and Parri, see, sigh, been that way since
I was waist high, product of television
Nintendo and the inner city
Windy City lookin' out my
Project window, symphony simply I

Now let me pick up where I left off
I slicker
Than KY, then I started I grow, got hip
Started
To know, same time learned gang signs
Made rhymes
Started to flow, facial hair started to grow
Started a fro
But I couldn't take home in it so
I parted it low, I started talkin' to hoes
Wanted
To dress fresh so I gotta walk for the dough
But the road that I took for
Dimes was full of bumps
Like books for the blinds, full of chumps
Full of crooks
Full of crime, the remained full of sharks
Full of good for the gram
And that there right to it
A heart full of grime, whole episode left me
Marked into mine
I had to make a change like March
Of The Dimes, stop
Change channels like channel locks wass
