Lyrics

Yo x6

Verse 1:
This journey
This road that I travel on, it all seems crazy
Over the years, I've picked up thousands of tag-alongs, inspired by my story
From a juvenile, when my clothes had holes in them (broke)
And my afro was picky (picky)
To them 90s (yeah), Moschino and Versace (Ice ?)
No laces in Huaraches
New millennium, gained a lot of street power (power)
They say the Muslims hit the towers
'02, I'm in a room with couple brothers (Yasser's)
And I took my shahadah (Guidance)
From listening to Mobb Deep, and 2Pac 'Dear Mama' (Jaahil)
Now I'm reading couple hadiths, and the seerah of Abu Bakr (Allah)
Reading Surah Imran, from ayah 103, (Protect me)
Don't take my life unless I'm in a state you're pleased (2015)
I've been around the world and back, and I got myself a baby
Dear Sumaya, Baba's on the mic again, and this is my story

Verse 2:
Allah, protect my brother K-Boy
{rotect my brother Grabben (Grabz)
Protect my brother ? (Aziz)
Protect my brother Punchen (Punchen)
We came a long way boys, from that life in the dungeon
Now I'm in Morocco, in Morocco, Speedboat out in Tétouan (Esh)
Bless my brother Buck (Big Ting), and bless Abu Bakr (R2I)
Remy, Darren, Spoon, Billy Wayne, and my right hand grinner
