Crazy Then, Crazy Now

(hah, we takin this to the old school, know what I'm sayin?)

People notice that I'm a one in a lifetime rap Moses

sometimes this world is just so hopeless,

that's why I must, adjust and kick back rewind

to a bitch who suck dick in public and snork crack

but because he sucked at life he died and back as a different man

where he was in Japan, and in this body he didn't give a damn

and rapped on a level that nobody can.

Plot Twist, the person was me, and I wasn't in a different body

I just switched up my persona, but I still felt like a lona,

some younger motherfuckers just see me as a stoner

but now I'm older and all your hardcore insults fly over my shoulder

punk asses, you'd probably wouldn't care if I got cremated

faded from the masses

Time is my biggest fear, rhymes are very important here

Turn the wheels on my automobile and see where I end up

I've given up all hope, shoot myself with an m5 and die from a stroke

I don't know what to do, my career felt like its been falling down

I have upon my head a rap crown, I was crazy then and I'm still crazy now

heh, and I'm still considered one of the greatest

yo, in my addidas press run I had a lot of fun, for my lyrics I got shunned

Believe it when I was young I's really fuckin' dumb, smoking blunts

holding guns, just released the beast my first album We The Best

Back in '88, I didn't even think it'd do that great

I just had to wait to appreciate the effort put into the expert records

Back when I was still in Houzton Kidz, we were bombarded by critics

Then I released Mind of Derrick Northeast it was critically acclaimed

And earned me international fame, and that's when my name remained

In the minds of many, I's only two years from being twenty

Hope people don't forget who I am like Your Name (Goddamn!)

heh, and I'm still considered one of the greatest

3rd verse, rappers now only talk about how many dollars they have

flexing they have stashes of cashes, female rappers have fake asses

they don't know words, they only slur and sound like off tune songbirds

bastards' they going mentally backwards, kinds hurts

all they is is cowards.

Allow me to do a curtain bow, I doubt mumble rappers will go far

now they think they stars, but in 20 years they be looked at like

they bizarre.

I don't know what to do, my career felt like its been falling down

I have upon my head a rap crown, I was crazy then and I'm still crazy now

wow

heh, and I'm still considered one of the greatest
