The Preface Lyrics by Lashawn Freeman

#TripleRThursdays

2014

Thru the lights cameras and action glamour, glitters and gold
I been, tryna be Hov since I was 20 years old
Started writing when I was living back on Alhambra Rd
Never lost the touch wit Similies and balancing flows
Always challenged my bros., standing out in every cypher
Just ta let ni**as know tht I'm a lotta bit nicer
I was out in Baldwin reppin a team, thought I'd be proud of it
But felt counterfit, when they politely left me out of it
But ain't no love lost, much respect entirely
It only lit light to my spirit, man enlightened me
Ta see what I becoming, got tired of ni**as frontin
All this planning and arguing, still coming out with nothing
F*ck it, I'll do it by my lonely
I Thru the bullsh*t behind me my ni**a, u still the homie
Singles on Triple R
Had me Storming thru the blogs
Me and official stichel combining beats wit the bars
Ta complete it, it was hard
We mad a lot of fire
And thas w/o the Charko, gas fluid and lighters
But I needed some money for promotions to be hyper
Plus me dealing wit these broads never made the fog lighter
Dealing wit a lady
That said I knocked her up but showing no proof of being pregnant with the baby
Drove me a lil crazy
But still kept the focus ta kill all my competition
That was frontin on me spittin
2014, drew out a scheme
Thata have me poppin wit the Lotta Money House Regime
Performing on the Deans List Tour
Just furthermored my core, listeners
Thinkin to myself, man this is it for us
This is it for me, penetrating thru history
And expectations so motherf*ck what u predict of me
So like a killer that specialize kills
Compare it to my skills, cuz real recognize REAL..
