about

this song is about how i wish i would have kept trying to sell drugs and shit so that i'd have cooler stuff to rap about. cool is subjective tho but in the same way they say fucked up comedians are the best comedians it feels sometimes like applies to music.

the thing about the drug bust on the news was a real thing. a guy i knew in high school got popped with pounds in the walls of his apartment. shit was crazy. but yeah sometimes i wish i would have just went down the wrong path and lived to talk about it. i know i know...

von pea is on this song too. he says "pimp that hoe' and its is only appearance on the project. why he gotta come over to my albums being all hood and shit?! i guess he wishes the same things too sometimes.

lyrics

What we talkin bout practice?
How to lose my accent?
The time I spent trying, succeeding or failing at this rap shit?
I'd rather write about something else, word up.
Maybe i shoulda kept that burner
sold a little more crack, never looked back,
stole a couple more cars, broke a couple more laws, nah...
maybe i shoulda stayed back home
with the woodgrain wheels and the pimped out chrome,
let the good game spill nigga "pimp that hoe"
my nigga Todd Shaw wouldn't lead me wrong.
If college was about cash, not about credit
them racks I'm indebted woulda went to something better.
Instead of Sally Mae I woulda paid my nigga,
cop a couple of pounds, break bread witcha.
Drug bust made the evening news,
if you flipped channels woulda seen me too
for the same shit dope MTV2,
its the same flip mine's upside down too.
He fresh outta jail, I'm fresh out of a deal.
It's crazy as hell how this pair of tales parallel.
One day just a choice away from a similar fate,
my decision to make.
Wait...
