about
The photo is an action shot of me up to bat at in one of my many baseball games at Aaron Perry Park in Pontiac, Mi. Our team was sponsored by Johnnies Finer Finish and every year we went undefeated baseball and basketball. I played first base and outfield positions. Sports kept me out of a lot of trouble during most of my childhood because I always wanted to win, so sports kept me busy.
lyrics
Work Hard come home looking like a slob
On the weekend whole crew gotta mobb
having a good time, that's really not a prob
When haters wanna come in ya face, say get a job ninja
Verse 1
See back in them tape days
I used to dub
Steal what I used to love
Out of record stores
favorite artists never seen a crumb
I wasn't thinking how the artist ain't supported
by the five finger discount
I did it cuz I can't afford it
Don't wanna take food off your plate homie
We’ in the same sailboat
getting paid slowly
I got a budget for a 5 pack of blank Sony’s
My Boy copped the albums
usually made the tapes for me
Your biggest fan tho
I'm in the club wild’in on the dance floor
push the record to whoever
everywhere I can yo
Inspired me with microphones no doubt
I'm in the studio
I'm trynna put my own shit out
Build a fanbase
tour on different landscapes
I bring it home and put the meals on the fam plates
Now a days,
they download me at a fast pace
leave me with a bad taste
Hate to say I can relate
verse 3
How can I explain this
I'm living the life of entertainment
Far from the rich and the famous
But I aint complaining
And I aint complacent
That's why I'm doing my thing
down in this basement
So cool,
so fresh
The difference between
Grapes and Raisins
Can't be caged
I'm the difference between
apes and Cain
Now tears and blood stain the pages
And the skills are amazing
Got a lot of bills
I need to pay quick
So money I need to make quick
But beware
cuz greed is contagious
Yeah
we know how the game is
You give'm yourself
they wanna change it
Give'em the truth
they won't embrace it
Give'em your soul
they won't exchange it
Take down names
but who the blame is?
(You!)
Looking in the mirror when I say this
Gotta have faith in this equation
Gotta have patience
They keep a n#gg@ waiting
Through all the joy and the pain
the sunshine the rain
the loss and the gain
be prepared for situations
On the weekend whole crew gotta mobb
having a good time, that's really not a prob
When haters wanna come in ya face, say get a job ninja

This is my favourite album of the 2020’s. A classic in the first order. Every song is truly great. Nothing sounds repetitive and it continues to be fresh and new to this day.
