A perceived notion in a nation of contemplation Thoughts get expressed through a mental masturbation Castration of the mind is sought to relieve conditions But anything short of a lobotomy won't release inhibitions Dissing a mainstream rapper but my flow branched off And now my own stream is formed where activists stand off We were prepared for the floodgates to open We thought a barge would work but overflow left it broken Over saturation turned your dreams to fabrication And they're still asleep to believe they're atop this rap nation I used to have aspirations for cash, ass and Asians Now I'm trying to survive against attempts at assassination So if you're with me throw your fists in the air Conformers of commercialism better listen with care I'll drink Crys if it's free but I'll settle for beer (SE) And next year it's a sure bet that Ed will be here Still writing magnificent rhymes dropping lines for you to quote them On of off the internet, whether T3 or modem Encrypt the script I'll leave it up to you to decode them The Rumpelstiltskin of rap, everything sowed is golden Let's not talk about the plaques you holdin son Cause I'm a hot, smart kid who kicks raps rolled in one So unload your gun. How dare you take shots at me Disrespect, of course I'm gonna talk obnoxiously Constantly, I've been told to act responsibly So my true feelings get wrote and put on CD And honestly, I never understood what a battle was Until I couldn't sleep one night and I had to battle drugs And drugs had the one up but I'd been testing him for years So I figured it was best to quit and put to rest all of my fears I went from half pill to no pills saw coke hills on dope deals Through the smoke fields but cleaned my act like Bernie Mac For Fox primetime and I'm still fine with my rhymes Fine with my Karma, still cool with father and Mama Make comparisons if you wanna cause I could give a shit I'm an original kid who had a goal fucker and I'm living it "Come on Eddie Haskill there's no reason to swear" I don't even have time to walk the beach and feel the breeze in my hair I'm just trying to make my mark but too many emcees in here Want to get that money just to be able to throw G's in the air
[Chorus: repeat 2X] I wish that I knew what I know now... when I was younger I wish that I knew what I know now... when I was stronger
I thought my rhymes would be stronger, catch wreck with a curse Or put a hex on you first, incorporate sex in the verse Rhyme about a Tec that's on burst Protect my neck to the hearse, infect you with words Imagine that. Then I dressed like there was a beauty pageant in rap Without a video to shoot no stage performance or an audience Settling for gaudiness I admit to coming with corniness But it took me till 22 to realize how to story this And I got to thank the movies that inspired me to write Jacob's ladder showed me the dangers to hide in the light In retrospect I shouldn't have used Scarface for a muse There's a lot of other shit to do with 24 hours to lose Magnolia opened my eyes through the fog I found the true meaning of coincidence disguised as a frog The Usual Suspects helped me see through the mist The greatest trick the devil pulled was proving he didn't exist And Shawshank Redemption helped me put fears aside Cause hope is a good thing and no good thing ever dies 12 Monkeys helped prove that ya'll be missing me When we get to the point in life when the future is history Whenever there's a time and I feel I cant handle this I can throw on any one of the three Wes Anderson flicks As for American Beauty I'm forever glad they made it And the reason behind this is explained on "Loved or Hated"
