bedtime story

Amar, Amar, cmon
Yeah Dad, what?
Hope you did your homework already
I did that already, cmon Dad
Nah, its time to go to..
Cmon listen. .
What happened?
I was at school today I said AZs my daddy, they said, 'Jay-Z? Nas?'
What, what?
Tell me the story again?
Ok, ok
Aight, this is how it went down, here we go..
We talkin a few years before you even appeared
I was into my little gear
Yeah - weed and my beer
Hustlin out of fear, fear of bein a square
Like them cowards with no gear
They just breathin the air
Son, clear, but didnt realize life aint fair
With one drive -by, it could end your life right there
Though Im a fly guy, from then, tied my Nikes, like chea
**** the world we can fight right here, I dont scare
From beer, no more nightmares here, not a tear
I was straighter than the white mans hair
Met Nasir, had that hype that year
Like a kite, threw me a mic
I took flight right there, chea
Rap wise I was nice I swear
Went fool with the jewels, even iced my ears
New school, I was cool, wore righteous wears
But from the door they didnt like that there, I aint care
As long as I left the china white right there
And understood that you could change a life through prayer
But its all good, police even politely stared
It was unreal, but still now it feels slightly weird
I was spared, gave love, taught my peers
Though it was rough, never gave up, fought my fears
Now itslike 'what?'
Im Ged up, awesome glare
Entertainer from the streets with a sportsmans flair
There, thats good enough for you?
Dad, Dad, whats 'Ged up?'
Listen man, dont worry about that now, just go to sleep
Ok, ok
Ill tell you that later on.. but you know what?
What, what what?
I got one more quick story to tell you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Maybe you could take this story, and tell your friends at school this one:
Heeeeere we go!
Out the gate, he who hate - himself aint straight
He a snake, he the type who send himself upstate
Catch a case for a plate
He aint have to take, he coulda
Played it safe, said his grace and ate
But its fate, when a person makes certain mistakes
What a waste, how the world..
