lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in my new zone I made it sweet.
Bounce back from war,
But that's the price I had to pay for peace.
M.J. in Space Jam, they held me back, but I made it reach
Until I made a couple hits like Jordan in the Major Leagues
My hustle is legal enough to build a Visa
Had them pretty girls rockin' in their Keri Hilson features
I'm a certain type of feller/Need no misdemeanor
Need a certain type of swagger to perceive of this demeanor
We are Los Angeles ridin'/The city we reside in
In which made the game like either Tamara or Tia,
Either BeeGee rollin' tree up, or Wrekless at the Airport
Throwin' up the double you like symbols, call it Tisa.
What...
Word to Goddy at C-SUN
Hoping that when I visit, the ladies will let me see some
Just asking for love, baby girl I don't really need none
Feels like Len coached the crew
Just by the way he brought the team up.
Got a view of the city like an arena
On the hill on La Brea, after the mini-freeway
That comes right after Coliseum...
Come on, let's roll, now not everything glitters,
But life is worth more than Gold, go...
Roll your windows down...Yell this out loud...
Yeah I'm Wrekless and I'm stunting, you can bow down
I turned nothing into something in this wild town
I turned my pain into joy, I made my frowns smile
I put the weak me in a bag and lost the Hefty,
And I beat all of the odds,
Man I should practice boxing lefty
Got a different type of heart, I promise you will not forget me,
And since promises are often broken, you cannot upset me

[Hook]
Let me try it out...
I'll be back in a year...
Made it all the way there just to see I've been here...
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems you're behind all of your peers.
I used to hold it in...
Now we hold it down...
Now we're here coaching all the ones that used to clown.
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems that no one else is around...woah

[Verse 2]
I set the mood, so this is my type of environment...
Not just my house or neighborhood,
But this whole life we live.
Now I no longer feel misunderstood, just like to vent...
'Cause I messed up, but I dug up your love in spite of it
Huh,
And that was subliminal, what a criminal
Those are just simple things that happen when your life's a miracle...
Huh,
And I'm feeling love from your existence,
If you feel me when I'm not there, you got the sixth sense...
But I'm always there like the Nix Checks
Cashing on Crenshaw and 29th, what a mixed mess...
Huh?
See how I slid in without sliding in,
That's what makes this exciting
Even more than when I press send...
Huh?
So I figured I'd do this instead,
Love is better done when said, not to mention...
Huh?
And If I gotta sit on the benches
I'll give the coach an ice bath on the end's win.

[Hook]
Let me try it out...
I'll be back in a year...
Made it all the way there just to see I've been here...
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems you're behind all of your peers.
I used to hold it in...
Now we hold it down...
Now we're here coaching all the ones that used to clown.
Gotta thank God,
'Cause it ain't easy followin' all your dreams
When it seems that no one else is around...woah
