Last Call Ringtones

Can I come around this evening Can I have somethin' to believe in Can I come around to see If this heart inside of me is still beatin' All this time From the womb down to the frontline I've been dealin' with harassment and defeat By a body that would cheat on its own mind Comes to question if I know I'm right, I'm wrong As long as there's a moment I feel That I belong Not to care about the loss I came across I will lay my head Patch up where I bled Have I told you about the dreams I kept chasin' About the times I kept wastin' About the temptations of sisters And their addictiveness of numbness And their holiness, I kept feastin' I don't mind It'll all get lost by nightfall And I will tell you all the truths that I heard Through the grapevine and the thin walls on our last call Comes to question if I know I'm right, I'm wrong As long as there's a moment I feel That I belong Not to care about the loss I came across I will lay my head Patch up where I bled

Meanwhile, I was just tryna keep it together, I was tryna make sense-sense of all this shit around me, I didn't know how to take it, How to perceive it, you know what I mean. And then meanwhile I'm supposed to be going to school and getting Good grades and shit, but I'm seeing like, Domestic violence in my house, and just, so much going on. And I'm sure everybody was probably like, damn, yo Why little Bobby didn't come to school today?"

And, I'll never forget it I had like eight rhyme books--he'll tell You, he'll tell you man, I just, I went through them motherfuckers I was Rapping for like fifteen minutes straight. And that was my first time yo, I was like tenth grade, In the studio, and I knew that this was what I wanted to do. I knew it I knew it ever since I first saw Kill Bill I been flowin' like that blood, Uma Thurman spill None other than the RZA, yeah he did the soundtrack And then I discovered Wu-Tang soon as I found that And then Big L, Mos Def, and Nas, there ain't no turning back Couldn't change it if I tried, homie, how 'bout that See I'm a student of the game, so simple and plain But I'ma take it back to before I ever sat first class on a plane I was in College Park, right. Well I guess technically, if you wanna go before that, I was uh, I was living in Germantown, Uh no actually it was in Montgomery Village, Back in Maryland I was living in my sister's basement. And some shit happened, you know, She kicked me out, it was Christmas, whatever I love you Genie. Anyway, so shit happened, and then I just kept it pushing. You know, I was homeless for a little while, whatever, you know, I went, uh, I stayed at my mentor's house, Solomon, And I stayed back at my Godparent's House, Mary Jo and Bernie, I love ya'll. Uh, Mary Jo, I'm sorry back when I used to smoke, I would steal the shit out of your Cigarettes, I love you, I'm sorry about that. But, you remember, always you would let me record, I'd always be recording in the attic or wherever I Could so, I love you, I thank you for supporting me there. But then, she was like, "you gotta get the fuck outta here" too, After a while, she gave me some time, But like, I was twenty years old at this point. She was like, "nah, You gotta get the fuck outta here and do something with your life. " And this was right around the time I opened my first show ever for Ghostface Killah man, in Gaithersburg, right in Old Town, The shit was insane, I'll never forget it, And that's where I met my boy Lenny, Big Lenbo, wassup! That's right man, we just started kicking it and hanging, He lived in College park and before I, Before I knew it I was living with him in his basement. And this is right around the time I met 6ix, And 6ix was going to the University of Maryland at the time, which is right down the street.

We was doing all types of shit man, When we first got out we did the first Young Sinatra, And now we on the fourth Young Sinatra motherfucker that shit is crazy man.

And he was like, " Yo, you gotta get a fucking job bro.

I'll be like, "Yo but I rap too" Hey, I guess they was lookin' at me crazy 'Cause you know, 'cause I ain't have a jersey on or whatever Everybody out there listen here I played them "Jesus Walks" and they didn't sign me You know what happened, it was some A&R's that fucked with me though But then like the heads, it'd be somebody at the company that'll say, "Naw" Like, Dave Lighty fucked with me My nigga Mel brought me to a bunch of labels Jessica Rivera, man... "Man, you niggas is stupid if y'all don't sign Kanye, for real" I'm not gonna say nothin to mess my promotion up "Y'all niggaz is stupid", let's just say I didn't get my deal The nigga that was behind me, I mean He wasn't even a nigga, you know? The person who actually kicked everything off Was Joe 3H from Capitol Records He wanted to sign me really bad Dame was like, "Yo you got a deal with Capitol Okay man, just make sure it's not wack Then one day I just went ahead and played it I wanted to play some songs, 'cause you know Cam was in the room, Young Guru, and Dame was in the room So I played, actually it's a song that you'll never hear Or maybe I might use it, so, it's called "Wow" I go to Jacob with 25 thou', you go with 25 hundred, wow I got 11 plaques on my walls right now You got your first gold single, damn, nigga, wow Like the chorus went Don't bite that chorus I might still use it So I play that song for him and he's like, "Oh shit" "Oh shit it's not even wack" "I ain't gonna front, it's kinda hot" "It's actually kinda hot" Like they still weren't looking at me like a rapper And I'm sure Dame figured, like man, if he do a whole album If his raps is wack at least we can throw Cam on every song And save the album, you know So, uh, Dame took me into the hallway, and he's like "Yo man B, B, you don't want a brick, you don't want a brick" "You gotta be under an umbrella, you'll get rained on" I told Hip-hop and Hip-hop was all, "Oh, word?" Actually, even with that, I was still about to take the deal with Capitol 'Cause it was already on the table and 'cause of my relationship with 3H That, you know, 'cause I told him I was gonna do it, and I'm a man of my word I was gonna roll with what I said I was gonna do Then, you know, I'm not gonna name no names But people told me, "Oh he's just a producer-rapper" And told 3H that told the heads of the Capitol, and right The day I'm talking about, I planned out everything I was gonna do Man, I had picked out clothes, I already started booking studio sessions I started arranging my album, thinking of marketing schemes Man I was ready to go And they had Mel call me, they said "Yo, Capitol pulled on the deal" "Yo, Capitol pulled out on the deal" And, you know I told them that Roc-A-Fella was interested And I don't know if they thought that was just something I was saying To gas them up to try to push the price up or whatever I went up I called G, I said, "Man, you think we could still get that deal with Roc-A-Fella?"
