Reef The Lost Cauze - Humble Beginnings lyrics

[Intro] {*three messages from answering machine*} {*Reef muttering "We back again"*} Mic check 1-2-1-2 Mic check 1-2-1-2 I been away for a while but I'm back again I'd like to take a lil' (1-2-1-2) back again I been away for a while but I'm back again Yo, yo (yeah) yo (yeah) [Verse 1] I sit high in chairs, scribe in air They say I'm a young Nasir minus nine years In my ear I hear the words of Uncle ??? He said, "Don't be something you're not and you'll do fine here" To the top? Yeah, I'm tryin' to take my rhymes there That place in my mind, I spend so much time there When I was young I used to look up to fools Got older and wiser, now I look up to ??? Hand me downs, dress sharp, had the hook up from ??? Never really had time to pick them books up at school Then sun turned to rain, Teef got knocked Broke the family's heart to see him locked in them chains That's when I started to change before I started to shave Gun targets your frame Felony youth caught in a game I thought it was live until I realized Out here how quick your fortune can sway The fortune of Gray, murdered in a tortuous way I miss you homeboy, more than words can say Those who did that to you in Hell deserve to lay And I often pray I too don't meet the same fate I write with the eyes of my beautiful grandmother Teef, you ain't my cousin, you my damn brother Mom, you're my hero When I think of all you've done for me I swear I get tearful Mo I'm proud of you Your spirit is so strong, never let no one take that out of you Baby doll we still holdin' on, growin' strong Ain't no way I can do this sh** with out you boo My crew Eyego/D, CP, E-Mon Reef rhyme phenom Time for all the bullsh** to be gone, no more starvin' Let's get our feast on I got some sh** I want to speak on I been away but I'm back again I took a breather now I'm back again I had to chill but I'm back again I now you hate that I'm back again [Outro] (I been away but I'm back again) + (I'm back) repeat Haha, yeah Welcome me back Feast or Famine, good hands Uh, get ready
