Got into music, then game startedto bubble
My main focus is to study, stay out of trouble
Bad Bubba, lookat me now, thanks Dad, I l love you

Even hip-hop braids in a row, that's so cold
I tell myfriends, family and all my fans
May God bless everyone on this land
It's ahard life, but love is love, play your cards right

First single "My Baby"? number one 10 weeks
Idid a show with Michael, yeah, I'm comin' for the title
I'm young, but my dadtaught me all about survival
I don't feed into the negative, I sho' improvewhat I do
Don't go for the masses to be true like the Bible
I've been herelong y'all, I'm part of the cycle
That started ?? I do
I'm tryin' to bethe next Jay-Z, Nelly and Ja Rule
Put it down like my pops, that's just theway that I move
There's gotta be another way, live to see anotherday
Every night I go to bed, I kneel down to the Lord and say
