[03:38.68]The same ones that didn’t show me no love
[03:40.66]When I was cashless
[03:41.52]In the day when it really mattered
[03:43.32]When I was pennin’ competition no publishin’ hits for damage (craig)
[03:46.50]Now the gold go to me so minimal
[03:48.40]I’m involved in the platinum plaques and records sold
[03:50.75]Heaven knows that I got a producer with ego
[03:52.96]And there were those that were told exactly where to go
[03:55.57]Somebody please stop these little kids
[03:57.92]The one that pulled bumpers off me to assist
[04:00.28]Shoutin’ outside of the block I used to live
[04:02.44]They don’t like my records so why listen to this
[04:23.79]Everywhere that I go
