al99 - idols lyrics
this song is dedicated to the ones that i was raised on
the ones i put my faith on
the ones that kept my faith strong
even when i was struggling wit myself and moral boundaries
i had my idols in my head talkin bout those around me
talkin bout those around me in a way where i could listen
i saw a different vision stead of trippin bout the chicken
i knew i saw it different when i listened to the lyrics yall was spittin
and i really understood it in a minute
i’m talkin all the greats
my momma paved the way
introduced me to the legends just like mc eight
i swear i studied and i learned so now i’m makin plays
makin beats and rappin all day just like i’m dr dre
and this is 88 but really 99
i’m comin from a different time when i rhyme
i hope my idols gone respect me when i die
i know i gave respect i hope respect is reciprocated
i still remember all the times when i would wake up
in class from nodding off bout dreamin how to get this cake up
i knew that u could make it off of rap but didn’t know how
instead of math in class i studied biggie now i know now
i learned bout money and the system
from men like pac who had the wisdom
but just like pac i had my slip ups
i worked it out just like a sit up
i knew the bigger picture before lil baby even dropped it
i told u once before i rap for me not for the profit
like kendrick said before the kids will look up to a prophet
i know that we gone work an inspiration at its finest
a jewish kid from jersey i still used to eat at churches
kirk and chance still had me reciting bible verses
like all we got is music so i know yo words won’t hurt me
my mood might change a little up and down just like a burpee
i feel like x sometimes i get a sad
like dmx sometimes i get mad
don’t have to use the drugs to keep the pain away i realized
when i make my toons i’m just like stevie i’m his real eyes
i hope u realize
that time flies i know i’m real wise
i listened to the greats like nas and jay and know i realize
the rest of y’all lil rappers i ain’t mention spittin real lies
so many idols that i realize
had a part in this game that i call my real life
i wish i had some more time to talk about the ways that u influenced all my good times influenced all my good rhymes
i hope i age like fine wine
and i live up in a high rise
lookin at the skyline
of the city while my mind tries
to grasp the k!llings of my idols and my villains and my feelings bout it and gone change cuz it’s a finished vision
