Cornbread - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Blu]

Uh, ayo, I grew up with the tenants of the project building

That nobody moved, nobody get it type of living

Feeling rich as fuck without a buck, you just chilling

Then somebody fuck up, now everything is different

Used to visit your cousin, now you visit in a prison

Went from thinking it's love, somebody changed that completely

Told the seed, "Don't play my CD too much, it'll fuck you up"

Like when my cousin gave me a gun, I ain't bust

Do you know? Do you know what I mean?

Do you know? Do you know? Do you know now?

Have your eyes really seen?

Yo, ayo, I'm looking at the world like I'm on an elevator

I'm up and back down a minute later

A door closes, then another opens up for me

Lifе is like a building with eight million stories

Strangеrs looking at me like I'm living on the low end

But where do you get off thinking you knowing where I'm going?

I'm just chilling with my hat down

Listening to the beautiful music playing in the background

Do you know? Do you know what I mean?

Do you know? Do you know? Do you know now?

Have your eyes really seen?

Yeah, why would I say no, when all things were possibly

And bronze turned to gold in front of my opticals?

Skating all alone, through hawthorn obstacles

With a orange bible for survival

I thought the whole world was my rivals

Later to found out the rifles were popsicles

She had her hand out the whole time

She wanted to dance, I turned her advance into a landmine

Do you know? Do you know what I mean?

Do you know? Do you know? Do you know now?

Have your eyes really seen?
