Yeah (Blueprint shit)
Three in the morning on the Westside highway (yeah)
Top-down, baby (the motivation for me)
(It's the Blueprint, baby), fuck y'all
Is them telling me what I could not be, oh well
(Hey!) Uh, yeah (hey! Oh! Hey!)
Ay, this a special dedication (hey!) Thank y'all
(Hey!) I wanna thank you for the fuel, no really, thank you
(Hey!) Y'all gotta hear this shit!
(Hey! Hey!)
I felt so inspired by what my teacher said
Said I'd either be dead or be a reefer head
Not sure if that's how adults should speak to kids
Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class
I'll teach his ass
Even better's what my uncle did (what he did?)
I pop my demo tape in, start to beat my head
Peeked out my eye, see if he was beating his (yeah)
He might as well say beat it, kid, he's on the list
It's like I'm searching for kicks like a sneakerhead
He gon' keep pushing me until I reach the ledge
And when I reach the ledge, I'll tell 'em all to eat a dick
Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread
Spread, spread
The motivation (word up) for me (fuck y'all)
Is them telling me what I could not be, oh well (hey! Hey!)
I'm so ambitious (yeah) (hey!)
I might hit two sisters (yeah) (hey!)
Hey, I'm on a mission (uh-huh) (hey!)
No matter what the conditions (you get it?) (Hey!)
Forget personal issues (that's right) (hey!)
When you go what I been through (yeah) (hey!)
Hey, if you believe it (then be)
Then you could conceive it (you see?) (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I had to lace up my boots even harder
Father is too far away to father
Furthermore all the kids either smoke reefer
Or either move whites, there's few writers in my cipher
So they made light of my type of
Dreams seem dumb, they said wise up
How many guys-a, you see making it from here
The world don't like us, is that not clear? Alright, but
I'm different, I can't base what I'm gon' be
Off of what everybody isn't, they don't listen
Just whispering behind my back
No vision, lack of ambition, so wack!
The motivation (word up) for me
Is them telling me what I could not be, oh well (fuck all) (hey! Hey!)
I'm so ambitious (yeah) (hey!)
I might hit two sisters (yeah) (hey!)
Hey, I'm on a mission (yeah) (hey!)
No matter what the conditions (I mean, you get it?) (Hey!)
Forget personal issues (yeah) (hey!)
When you go what I been through (yeah) (hey!)
Hey, if you believe it (believe it)
Then you could conceive it (you see?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Had a couple of meetings no offers yet
Maybe I ain't good enough for these offices
Back to the drawing board ducking officers
It's all good 'cause the streets is A&R'ing this (yep)
So with or without any of your involvement
We coming for all of this, respect my conglomerate
I went from pauper to the President
'Cause every deal I ever made set precedent
Niggas probably thought I'd fall without old buddy
Oh buddy, what I do is make more money
Dear Teacher, you're probably somewhere near a speaker
I'm balling outta control, can you hear my sneakers
Fuck y'all
The motivation (word up) for me
Is them telling me what I could not be, oh well (hey! Hey!)
I'm so ambitious (yeah) (hey!)
I might hit two sisters (hey!)
Hey, I'm on a mission (hey!)
No matter what the conditions (you get it?) (Hey!)
Forget personal issues (hey!)
When you go what I been through (hey!)
Hey, if you believe it (then be)
Then you could conceive it (you see?)
The motivation for me
Was them telling me what I could not be
