[Verse]

One little boy had only one dream

That one day he would be the one on the scene

Two turned tables, mic check 1 2

Not too much to ask for, when the dream came true

Three was the magic number at that time

And in his pocketbook, he wrote three little rhymes

Wrote the fourth one in the fourth grade

Came to the conclusion writing was his forté

And five years later he will give high fives to Sadat of the Nubians that he went to see live

Got inspired, watched old flicks

Marathon movie nights up 'til six

Seven days a week, his mind state was New York

Nas made an impact, Illmatic was true talk

Eight planets orbiting around the sun

And he felt like he was the left out one

Like none planet Pluto number nine

Started smoking blunts at slumber time

Ten knife cuts on his girlfriend's wrist

Tried to save her like the Chandlers list

Damn you need a strong mind to go through this

Like you need eleven players on a football pitch

Twelve months laying in bed reading the same book

Twelve-inch records spinning, spitting the same hook

Met a girl, made babies and made a [?]

In and out of [?] jobs about thirteen

Became a teacher, here comes reality

Fourteen months with a decent salary

December 15th got laid off

Once again I had to tap into the main source

Dealt good cards, so I doubled up the odds

Put 16 numbers in my 32 bars

[Outro]

16 numbers in my 32 bars

Dealt good cards, so I doubled up the odds

16 numbers in my 32 bars

In my 32 bars

Particle Man
