I was young and dumb, out here catching cases
I should've been in the booth, but I was embracing the pavement
Forgetting where the days went, nights when I was drinking
And started fighting, when I should've been writing
Playing on the edge, delighted in the fact that I had some street cred
I'm from a time where we respect violence
And reward silence, and support the talent
The streets were balanced, we just stayed prepared
For anything that happened, it was either playing ball or you were making it trapping
Cause everybody wanted that, even the cats that was rapping
The essence materialized so quick like it was magic
My mama didn't have it, my dad was absent
Unfortunately the time I needed him most didn't happen
Again the light still shine, and I'm still here with proof that I'm gone get mine
And I made it through the obstacles, and some of this shit was impossible
While I was intoxicated, thinking that this was the best time for me to be operating
I was just young with a lack of patience
I ain't have time for waiting, until it was my time to take it
Make them embrace it, and force it in they faces
I was young and dumb, out here catching cases
I should've been in the booth, but I was embracing the pavement
Forgetting where the days went, nights when I was drinking
And started fighting, when I should've been writing
Playing on the edge, delighted in the fact that I had some street cred
We fought for the best to achieve nothing less
Than what we was blessed with, and you wasn't taking that shit
Without a gun, you would've failed
I don't care if you was Tobias Wells, I stayed ready
You can never strong arm steady, but most of the stuff was petty
But the pride in the project was super high
I had dreams of being a kingpin, but I was only selling 2 for 5
Fronting on the block looking super fly
But I know who I am, and who I am not
Perfectly I am created with all my imperfections
Street intellectual, still creditable
But the smartest move I ever made, was when I left you
Proud when I met you, ready to fight the world if they disrespect you
But what did that do, what did that prove not a damn thing
Just a youth being dumb, wasted on the young
I continue to live, and continue to give
It's just life, why don't you live some
I was young and dumb, out here catching cases
I should've been in the booth, but I was embracing the pavement
Forgetting where the days went, nights when I was drinking
And started fighting, when I should've been writing
Playing on the edge, delighted in the fact that I have some street cred
