Evidence - A Moment in Time lyrics

[Evidence:] As a kid ma hit me with the truth Let me know Santa clause was never on my roof When I lost a tooth, it never went under the pillow I gave it to my parents' right there, they hit me with dough Later on I was the all-star pitcher 7th grade my girl hit me off, the World's different now Got to wicked curve ball now Plus Confidence, that's 3 strikes you're out Junior high had all the Chicks was on top then Got to high school sh** wasn't poppin' Small fish big pond, kinda got lost in This new matrix started smoking weed often I missed the whole 9th grade ditching cla**, getting no a** Tryin to get back to the past The only thing I did do was make this music Home Friday nights at the time was confusin Things changed things I started to notice The more work I put in, the more people focus Was like "oh sh**, this my ticket" Enemies before, now tryin to kick it Pulled out my slump, imagine that Two years I got my swagger back In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make Just a matter of time, that's a fact On my mom's porch looking at the stars, tellin Joey Chav that's what we are There we go, my soul, they'll never owe me My crew rolled, the top, it won't be lonely [Planet Asia:] 88, Malcolm x books, Public Enemy Rockin plain gear, same year lost my virginity Packin gats we was that active Middle school 7th grade pill bottles of crack in my jacket 89 got on some? sh** ? Full of Truth sh** Hangin with the 8th grade n**** that chew sh** Back then we was still in cars Give a damn if we knew you Outside the neighbourhood? 9th grade twisted up high school better looking Known as an mc And I'm getting steady p**y Don't hate the game, hate this player Since the 6th grade I've been friends with Shake tha Mayor Met Rasco in 1990 still grimy Kicked out of school in 10th But still graduated in 95'n Remember me the kid who used to ditch school religiously Who used to break-dance and centipede 12 years later and I'm still the same This time I'm even more on top of the game Here we go, my soul, they'll never owe me My crew rolled, the top, it won't be lonely (The time is now, the moment that you waited for) (It's time to move on I'm going for mine) (I'm living for the day; this is my moment in time)
