When I was a young man
19 I used to hustle in the street
Was all about making green
But I was living the good life
Fast cars, a lot of women
Didn't love 'em so I made 'em cry
And when I got older
I used to tear the clubs up
Bottle after bottle, model after model
But now the best story of my life
Is my pretty little girl and my beautiful wife
I used to see wedding pictures on the wall, my parents look happy
I said when I grow up one day, I'm getting married
Hanging in the hood, I was dragged into it
They said bitches ain't shit, a bad influence
Broke hearts, got my heart broken, true karma
Had to have a talk with myself like you smarter
The OG's was saying these girls ain't loyal
Get locked, they won't do nothing for you
But when I went to the male facility to visit my friends
It was overcrowded with women visiting them
Went to the female facility to visit my wife
It was deserted, no men visiting, that hurted
When I seen that, I transformed my vision
I realized some of these men are the real bitches
The hood taught us wrong, ain't want us to be supreme
My daughter is the princess, my wife is the queen
[Chorus: Paul Simons & (50 Cent)
When I was a young man
19 I used to hustle in the street
Was all about making green
But I was living the good life
Fast cars, a lot of women
Didn't love 'em so I made 'em cry (Remember that?)
And when I got older
I used to tear the clubs up (Uh huh)
Bottle after bottle, model after model
But now the best story of my life
Is my pretty little girl and my beautiful wife (It's my song)
I was plotting, making plans up, tryna get my bands up
Running round on these streets and I got jammed up
Then I came home, I was out here tearing the land up
Till I met my wife, had kids and I had to man up
I had to stand up and raise my kings
Understand a nigga ain't got wings
But I'm tryna move righteously, can't just be fighting me
The devil playground, he just keep inviting me
The OG's enlightened me how to move with honor
Play by the rules, I'm tryna improve my karma
This year I swear I'ma move my mama
To a big house out somewhere in Florida
I swear I'ma give her all the stuff I promised her
My wife held me down so I gotta acknowledge her
I'm out here grinding for my legacy
So when I'm gone, the world gon' remember me
When I was a young man
19 I used to hustle in the street
Was all about making green
But I was living the good life
Fast cars, a lot of women
Didn't love 'em so I made 'em cry
And when I got older
I used to tear the clubs up
Bottle after bottle, model after model
But now the best story of my life
Is my pretty little girl and my beautiful wife
The culture create menaces
The drop on the roaster so venomous
Rose as a soldier, I was in the shit
Bands had the benefit, ran through them tenements
Taught by the teachers the techniques
The reefer, the neckpiece, new sneakers, the best freaks
Fresh on the reg since Pro-Keds
It's blessed to be said I'm a old head
Po dead, the god seven, resting in heaven
Me and Bar, we still bredrens
The last of the living legends
Lost in the sauce now on my deen
Was all off course, I was a fiend
Fiend for the women and cream, but when you king
And knowledge intervenes, everything ain't what it seems
Truth be real, the juice is spilled
And that unconditional love's the only proof that's real
When I was a young man
19 I used to hustle in the street
Was all about making green
But I was living the good life
Fast cars, a lot of women
Didn't love 'em so I made 'em cry
And when I got older
I used to tear the clubs up
Bottle after bottle, model after model
But now the best story of my life
Is my pretty little girl and my beautiful wife
