Recommended Posts

thats how u went down

elementary to penitentary

from sellin rocks down town

than be a rap mecernary (x2)

aint it funny how **** changes fast

we was once first, but now we last

its a shame when talented men

who's beated coz its how they rolled back then

if someone touches u, we touched him

eye an eye, back for a back

but now to me u dont mean jack

ok first thing to do is go to school

then go to jail, no bail coz ur a fool

i know u woulda loved to spit a verse

but i did it first, without spillin a curse

and the elementary couldnt prepare you

it was just to get u ready, coz it scared you

how can u learn to just fall?

now tell me if u need a chat, just call

u kno my number, so dont be so selffish

remember ya'll alergic to shellfish

ya girlfriend be freakin everyday

but we set her straight and she goes astray

aint it funny just yesterday i saw u in ur house

now ur locked up, like a mouse

tell me u still gonna be doing drugs

cold turkey, we was misunderstood for thugs

we made a village into a ghetto

when from 2 dollar S**t to hollywood h*s

but when u sittin in that 8 by 8 cell

just rememba, u be out soon and we all livin well...haha

chorus

homie even in prision get ya hustle

dont take it like a bitch, start ya bustle

as b said, can u feel it in the air

drinkin, smokin like u jus dont care

need to learn, but boy u got burned

try to be the best, it wasnt my turn

coz its the elementary that got u wastin away

i knew u never was afraid, see a better day

i talked to ya moma, no more drama

aint no high hopes for u comin back for the summer

but homie ill pick u up in the ride u wanted

homie imma get it for u then u can flaunt it....

we were homies since i was about 6 yrs old

now u being sentenced, laws heart is cold

but ill talk in bold, for u to come back

u family misses u, we miss u, its whack

ur standing against the system

but he musta missed him, when he dissed him

who ya'll think taught me to rap?

who u think made me tough coz of one slap

ive read the rules and they screwed

to the beefs i had wit u, man that was a petty fude

in my heart, u the man who had my reactions

watchin ova my transactions, consiqence of my actions

it happened, i started rapping, and u in jail

isit hell in that cell when u cant get bail?

and the snitch that u called a bitch

he gonna suffer coz now coz i wana get filthy rich

believe dat

chorus

hey i liked it man! as soon as i read the title i thought of 2Pac's line on Hellrazor "Elementary wasn't meant for me/can't regret it/I'm headed for the penitentiary"

it definitely sounded like somethin 2Pac would've rapped about, so good job man! :thumb:
