1984
[Verse 1]
It's been twenty years, look at how we living dawg
And I don't even drink, fuck it
But I'm gonna drink this champagne just to piss em off
It's nothing
Alright, let's make a toast
Last year was the year that we almost made it though
And that was '83, y'all know what happens in
Alright, let's make a toast
Last year was the year that we almost made it though
And that was '83, y'all know what happens in '84
Young nigga gets drafted, signed up for the bullshit, but he gon get past it
Focus on yourself, worry about nobody else
Because the competition never died, thats Magic
Just make them remember every word
Fly like an eagle over these Larry Birds
They never thought they would see
Another small town nigga finally make it to the league
Shit is real out here, last year I'm in the seats
Now the niggas I looked up to are playing for another team
Now you gotta go home, take the posters down
That's the nigga you fighting for the trophy now
Kind of how much gain used to get my weed in Overtown
Look out my window that's the past I'm looking over
Wow, it feel right then man, buying property on white man land
Shit ain't nothing like back then, but I just passed a white man in my black benz
I guess it paid off in practice, I'm new to this
Momma had to help me write my taxes
And now I can't see her, left the girl in the bleachers for a cheerleader
Uh, but the bleachers never been this rouge
The more people that know me, the less people I know
My circle gets smaller the more that I grow
Love the westside niggas, I just hope that y'all know
Lot of money, lot of women
Shout my nigga Tayman that's my Scottie Pippen
Realest nigga you could come across, never cross, same uniform nigga, same vision
In at 20, I inspired a fan, nigga came in through my hands, bout 50 grand
Shout out to my nigga Dan
White boy, but that's still my nigga man
Had me living like I just don't give a damn
Crumbled up bruh, my nigga stay free
And you gon' get paid every time they pay me
Man, after all you do
No I can never do my niggas like, you know who
No subs, I'm staying
It's fun to watch the game but different when you're playing
I'm trying make this shot, ignoring everything they saying
Know everybody's watching, I just hope somebody's prayin'
And all the A&Rs that doubt it
Are all getting fired like you should've been scouted
Get it live with a group of five chicks, last year I was on some suicide shit
I'm trying to inspire so that when I retire
All of these medals can't do what I did
Last year was crazy though, but I'd like welcome y'all to 84'
