starlito - retire my jersey lyrics

[intro]
get that sound out my head
or it just be a feeling (that part)
(beat those drums)

[verse 1]
everybody ain’t gon’ be there when your dreams come true
some don’t really even believe, just wanna see if you lose
i learned to see for myself, i sold by seeing it through
landed at noon, i got straight to it, i plan on leavin’ at two
you could say i did it out of love, the only reason i moved, no pride
i never changed, but you can’t say i ain’t tried
i’m sure i made some bad investments, bad karma’s the worst
and that was sittin’ on my spirit when i started this verse
yeah, i feel the more selfish the harder i work
pardon me, i put my heart in this, but the pain came first
i took all the risks, i can’t say it ain’t worth it
all of the losses, i can’t say it ain’t hurt me
take the good with the bad, either way, i deserve it
some nights, i can’t even sleep, most days, i’m wakin’ up early
wasn’t supposed to make it to thirty, i got tired of that sermon
got on my grind, it was urgent, i’ma make ’em retire my jersey (lito)

[interlude]
i’ma make ’em retire my jersey
the pain came first, yeah, man
yeah
got on my grind, it was urgent, i’ma make ’em retire my jersey
[verse 2]
put me in the rafters, you should’ve been an actor
if you been through a fraction, you wouldn’t have been a factor
look, you don’t know the half, i always been a benefactor
i dreamt of hittin’ l!cks since back when vinnie was a rapper
i really wasn’t a rapper, i was more of a hooper
fast+forward, i’m duckin’ the task force and the state troopers
back when we used to smack boys, who knew i’d be a shooter?
better work on your defense ’cause they gon’ proscute you
you ain’t even really gotta have no opps, n+gga, the cops’ll shoot you
get in this b+tch, just rap, don’t stop, picked it up watchin’ gucci
plus i studied wayne, wanted to be like hov
love pac and pimp c the most
in the airport, they calll me the goat
when i’m in the mirror, feel like i’m seeing ghosts
said enough, let ’em read the quotes
love and hate, sh+t, i need ’em both
joy and pain kept me afloat
hall of fame when i leave the game
’cause i stayed the same, told ’em keep the change
matter of fact, i kept the change and i can’t complain
yeah, i take the credit and the blame
put my mind to it, grind through it, i can do anything
tell no lies, then just fine+tune it, i hope you entertain
open fire, i just hope you minute, not you in it, man
emotions, pride, that don’t mix with business, i seen friendships change
and shall return from whence it came (karma is real)
[outro]
(beat those drums)
