Celeb Reality

(专辑： The Layover Mixtape - 2008)

I'm from a place where shit can never phase you
Day to night, so fast, the clyde paid you
You didn't have phase two, slip hat, steel wrist
Real reps, the street made due
I popped up so fresh for '88
Rep on the plate and still I never left my crew
I never sweat but other odd jobs I did do
I did two summers in BK, a feverish flu
I caught, I ought to be crazy the way I brought it back
Part of that was seeing it first hand and all of that
Came from my parents and rain from the sky
But it made them, ask me where they're from, I don't play dumb
I don't play no part that I can't finish off
I don't wait 'til your day start, I take it apart
I met so many others while I was on the come up
We from L.A., it's only natural we think we one up
We think we rise with the sun, we think we fall with the moon
We think we hot shit, we can't tell December from June
I'm not knocking the land that got it popping, it's true
Without L.A., you can't spell the name of my crew
I knew some others who knew someone in show biz
They introduced us, already know him
Her, different places, so many faces
Went to high school with Nicole Richie, she had braces
I could never fuck with school, wasn't into this
My other classmate was Mikey from Incubus
My other girl wasn't wifey, more like porno chick
My friend Alan, they now call him Alchemist
It's a trip, I think Ethan Brown made me rap
I be wondering, "Dawg, where the fuck you at?"
Understanding the red, that's how you get in the black
Some came up and some never making it back, back...

Haha, yeah
You know I've seen a lot of people come up, right?

Let me tell you 'bout it, come on, uh

John Legend and Michael with no car, yo
I guess that was a car, I don't really call that a car, though
I knew celebs before they blew, too many to count
I got news, nothing new under the sun, you know I been out
I be keeping with my peoples on the regular
And I be peeping old friends who now competitors
I remember will.I.am was called Will 1 X
That's not a diss but I still got the tape in my deck
I got an old friend who made Celeb Rehab
I watch it, can't stop laughing, he plotting, copping three bags
I do me, I'm on the wave with a gift
A certain rapper don't remember when he didn't have a lift
I could bring up old dirt first, but now that's past tense
Side note: I knew Mark Ronson before the accent
Side note: It's 3 AM, I'm still rapping (Thank you, thank you)
It's 3 AM, you're still clapping
I met B-Real before "Time 4 Sum Aksion"
Knew the deal before people started asking
Simple questions, never thought to ask before it happened
Do kush before the fashion
Got the green thumb between these gloves with the hash print
With the cash in hand and my passport stamped
Nothing I can't do, the new people's champ
