Yeah, haha (Blueprint, baby)
Three in the morning on the Westside Highway, top down, baby
Yo, the motivation for me (It's The Blueprint, baby)
Is them telling me what I could not be, oh well
Ayy, uh, yeah
Ayy, oh, ayy, haha
Ayy, this a, uh, special dedication
Thank y'all, I wanna thank you for the fuel
No really, thank you, y'all gotta hear this shit
Ayy, haha, ayy
I felt so inspired by what my teacher said
Said I'd either be dead or be a reefer head
I'm not sure if that's how adults should speak to kids
Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class
I teach his ass even better's what my uncle did
I pop my demo tape in, start to beat my head
Peeped out my eye to see if he was beatin' his
He might as well said, "Beat it, kid, he's on the list"
It's like I'm searchin' for kicks, like a sneakerhead
They gon' keep pushin' 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
The motivation for me (Yo)
Is them telling me what I could not be (Hoo), oh well
Ayy, haha, ayy, oh
I'm so ambitious (Yeah)
I might hit two sisters, haha (Yeah)
Hey, I'm on a mission (Ayy)
No matter what the conditions (You get it? I'mโ)
Fuck personal issues (Yessir)
When you go what I been through (Yeah)
Hey, if you believe it (Then be)
Then you can conceive it (You see?)
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 white
There's few writers in my cypher
So they made light of my type of
Dreams seem dumb, they said, "Wise up
How many guys are you see makin' 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 whisperin'
Behind my back, no vision
Lack of ambition, so wack
The motivation for me (Word up)
Is them telling me what I could not be (Hoo), oh well
Ayy, haha, ayy, oh
I'm so ambitious (Yeah)
I might hit two sisters, haha (Yeah)
Hey, I'm on a mission (Yeah)
No matter what the conditions (I mean, you get it? I'mโ)
Fuck personal issues (Yeah)
When you go what I been through (Yeah)
Hey, if you believe it (Believe it)
Then you can conceive it (You see?)
Had a couple of meetings, no offers yet
Maybe I ain't good enough for these offices
Back to the drawing board, duckin' officers
It's all good 'cause the streets is A&Rin' this (Yup)
So with or without any of y'all involvement
We comin' 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 ol' buddy
Oh, buddy, what I do is make more money
Dear teacher, you probably somewhere near a speaker
I'm ballin' out of control, can you hear my sneakers? Yo
The motivation for me (Word up)
Is them telling me what I could not be (Hoo), oh well
Ayy, haha, ayy, oh
I'm so ambitious (Yeah)
I might hit two sisters, haha (Yeah)
Hey, I'm on a mission (Ayy)
No matter what the conditions (You get it? I'mโ)
Fuck personal issues (Yeah)
When you go what I been through (Yeah)
Hey, if you believe it (Then be)
Then you can conceive it (You see?)
The motivation for me
Is them telling me what I could not be
