[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
I'd like to thank you all for coming out tonight to bare witness to
Gary's EP
You could've been anywhere in the world
But you decided to rock with me and my life as it is right now
And it goes a little something like this
[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd be in the system
I never thought I'd hear no contact with the victim
Shit, I never thought that it would be my own
Who wouldn't stick to the script, flip and start snitching
Now I'm on lock with niggas who been to prison
O.T.'s reminiscing on how they were bidding
Brother on my left preaching about God
Muslim brother on my right screaming Insha Allah
Coming up I was quiet and remained to myself
Was disciplined correctly with a swing of the belt
Went thirty years of being impoverished and still
I kept my head above water to survive thru the hell
But when a real nigga's up against a bitch nigga
And tha law's involved then most likely you're going to jail
Now I'm caged up inside of a cell which works for me
'cause I stay to myself in a shell, that's who I am I'm
[Hook]
Gary, Gary, Gary, Gary
The man who always stays to himself
Trapped in a shell and always willing to help
Now say my name, say my name
Gary, Gary, Gary, Gary
You don't know what it's like to be me
But there's no one else that I'd rather be
Now say my name, say my name
[Verse 2]
I'm never happier than when I'm with my baby girl
Since I can't be with her it makes me want to hate the world
Take the world in my palm, make a fist
And crush it and crumble it 'til it's gone, she takes a pic
And message it to my phone so the moment can last
Beautiful has my heart and she's gon' hold it for Dad
I hope she knows that I'm glad and I love her
We both wish that we can spend every calendar day with each other
But we can't and I don't know why, your guess is just as good as mine
I asked to get her on the weekends and the reply
Was are your male friends gonna be there
Are my friends gonna be where, is that a yes or a no so that we're clear, uh
I never got her so I guess that was a no
Hopefully this year I get to see her some more
And give her a hug, hoping to never let go
Shit, you think you know but you really don't know shit about
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Gary is anti-social and be feeling depressed
Looking my age or older 'cause I'm feeling the stress
Music is thereapeudic I use it to express
Some of my thoughts and feelings that exist on my chest
Like out of all of these rappers, I'm easily the best
And yet, I can't stretch far enough to reach for success
It just got me regretting ever picking up the pen
To begin something I keep wishing would come to an end
But then again, maybe it's meant to be
Since I don't talk to nobody maybe it's meant to be my release
Like a diary people actually get to see
People say I'm hard to read, guess this will help get to me
A story that starts the beginning of January
And yes it has an ending but I'm not in a hurry
To be buried, be worried 'cause if this EP comes out
In the crowd with a mouthpiece in his mouth knocking you out is
