[Intro: Jae Skeese]
(Hey Tony)
Uh, yo, yo
Look
[Verse: Jae Skeese]
Here's a peak into my black experience
I'm product of my parents' love story, what an experiment (What?)
In case it was mysterious how they had made me like Egyptian pyramids
I had the answer, there it is (There it is)
Look, my last name is Jackson, see, that's my heritage
I got like fifty aunties and uncles, cousins through marriage
It's a long list of 'em (What's up, y'all?)
I be forgettin' names, mane, the shit's embarassin'
Attribute it to carelessness (Crazy)
When I was delivered my momma had called me Jarrett The Red (Uh-huh)
Umbilical was short, complications, coulda been dead (Wow)
Upon my entry to this place we call earth
But l'm a fighter, like Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger, an '89-er
We only had a little bread like Philly sliders
And just my moms to really guide us
After 2000, 'cause my Dad was like, really, really sick (Uh-huh)
Was addicted to that shit, he put the stem right to his lips (Crazy)
But as teen he had form of cancer, he took the chemo (Uh-huh)
He was a fighter too, beat it like the legend Preemo (Uh-huh)
But he never made music he was a student, mad intelligent
Never got why he was on rock, ain't talkin' sediment (Pssh)
There was a time I had a piggy bank, I was savin' up
I think I got to like, maybe, like eighty bucks (Uh-huh)
I came home from school to it broken open
I think I cried out my eyes until the next day at lunch (C'mon, man)
Used to wait on the window seal, thought he was comin' (Uh-huh)
To this day, when people late my adrenaline pumpin'
But fuck it, I got older
I was rhymin' with Dre and Ronald
Dre was my mans, where he would go, then I would follow (What's up, n****?)
Was an honor roll student until my dad's demise (Uh-huh)
City honors had an entry test to get inside (Uh-huh)
Initially I didn't, I was first up on the waitin' list
Branden Lashall dipped and so I made it in, amazing shit
The school was cool, it was basically a melting pot (Uh-huh)
Of kids and cultures from all around the city, I never really felt like I really fit in
I mean these kids' parents was doctors (What?)
And I was from the hood, not where they be talkin' proper (Nah)
Used to collect football cards, I had the Larry Csonka
The Payton Walter, a rookie card of Kenny Walker
I guess the last wasn't important, other two was legends
Pop Tarts for breakfast, was passin' notes with all my questions
First pair of Nike ones was in Grade 6 (Uh-huh)
From Kayshoyas over on Bailey, I know I made 'em sick (I knew I did)
Freshman year I got close with three best friends
Had my first girlfriend, she had kissed my mans (Ah, man)
I'll never pretend like I wasn't hurt, that was the worst, and I was salty
Bluestars was the CD that we played at the parties
When you would get dubbed on the floor or your mans would hold you up (Yo, hold me up, bruh)
While shorty would grind she really tried to fold you up (C'mon)
You had a nugget earring? Yes, your ass was golded up
October Storm, it was the craziest, that shit was cold as fuck (Crazy)
With a lot of snow, so much you might have thought it was impossible (What?)
That day the weather man and his doppler broke (Hahaha)
These days I miss my granny, I tatted her portrait (I miss you)
Always hold the family down, she made that important (Uh-huh)
Shoutout to my Auntie Crystal she always been gorgeous (What's up, auntie?)
I got a lot of love inside my heart, it's type enormous
[Outro: Kota Savia & Sample]
My love
My, my love
My, my love
My, my love
My, my love
My love
My love
My, my love
My, my
My, my
(Da, da, da da da, da, da...)
Oh, my God, man
Shit, I never knew it would feel like this, man
This feel like fuckin' the baddest bitch, n****
We been waitin' for this shit for so long, n****
It's finally here, n****
It's the Class, n****
Fuck with us
