He was doin' some talent shows at centerline I him to stop by and check us out sometime He at me like I'm out my mind Shook his head like boys don't know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday first place And we both had the same rhymes that alike We was on the same shit that big Kane shit With compound syllables sound From that day we was to ride we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line
