Blowin' Up In The World

Kool G. Rap

Back in the days was kinda crazy kid I started out with nothin



Wasn't livin like Thanksgiving I was turkey without the stuffin



Sometimes I sweared to God that I was headed for the poorhouse



Say mama caught the drama she would bleed tryin to feed 4 mouths



Wasn't rockin Girbauds I barely had clothes and when it snowed



and temperatures droppin below zero you know I froze



No CD's a black and white TV a seat is a rubber tire



with a hanger for the antenna, turned channels with some pliers



Had nothin in my cabinet, but cans of Raid



I'm knockin on my neighbor's door



to borrow a cup of sugar for my Kool-Aid



I wasn't freshly dipped, my gear was straight ripped, I'm trippin



cause my winter coat got lost buttons



and zippers that wouldn't stay zipped



I never remembered ?, the brother was straight fat cat



Not even a Big Mac black, I had Kid Castle topped with crackerjacks



Walkin the streets, with the weak sneaks on my feet



And the freaks wouldn't speak, I never had lipstick on my cheek



So much for gettin humped from the stunts, I always struck out



The one y'all likes is takin hikes if you can't pull a buck out



So now I gots to dedicate my next plate to all the homeboys and girls



Straight up baby, I'm blowin up in the world




Blowin up, blowin up in the world



Blowin up, blowin up in the world!



I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines



I gotsta get mines, youknowhatI'msayin? I'm blowin up in the world




Blowin up, blowin up in the world



Blowin up, blowin up in the world!



I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines



I gotsta get mines, yeah...




It seems like only yesterday, my moms was on my back



"Get your butt up out the s
