Testo Buddy (1998)

What's my purpose
Know it's deeper than the surface
Everything these people say is nothing
Know that they be fronting
Cause I came up in a time
Rhyming specials on my mind
Just wanna be the illest
And hope that the world gon feel us But fuck it I'm on my own shit
The shit that make me feel good
Remind back when I started just to feel good
Like we ain't from the hood but I see it as my outlet
People sayin I'd be nothing now they never doubt em
Chip on my shoulder my girl been pushin Corollas
I need a change here man I need a change fear
Out my muhfuckin mind till I'm finally seeing clear
If you didn't know my family always called me buddy
Swear I used to fuckin hate it now I think back to the lovely times
Stress ain't all up on my mind just started to bust a rhyme
Swear I know what I been here to do
Can't let fear control you tryna see the real in you

I feel a difference on these late nights I been happier My energy enclosed for something great and I suppose
That my life is on a different path deeper than this rap
And I swear that I can help the people stop em from just livin evil
Buddy buddy do you know how I been feelin now
Pushin thru this life and I been praying that you figure out
Take em back to when I used to say I'll find a way
Feels like a decade and no there ain't no time to waste
But do you really know the truth cause when I rhyme it through
Know these verses heaven sent for every thing that I been through
Kyle Seth And Tyler done seen it I'm talkin dreamin
Leaving anger in the past cause the pain it never last
Time to focus why I fell in love wit rappin
Here's what happens when you put a boy wit nuffin inside of a booth come packin'
You lacking to show ya roots you lackin just go and tell the truth
Can't let fear control you I'm tryna see the real in you
