My whole life has been a rocky road
So I stay fly
I've got to live as mama woulda wanted me
At the forefront of a generation
I'll hit you right now with the new edition

Okay so I didn't prepare a speech or nothing for this but uh
I can see through you
I can see you're a straight-shooter
Not confused with your life as you consume it
I can see through you
I can see you are heartless
And all the while posted up like

Cookin' in the oven like a apple dummy
You're always overdone

You're always overdone
You got that son?
