Don Trip - Allen Iverson lyrics

rate me

Are we lying about ourselves,

why didn't hey want me

Not because what i did.. I've created all

Like all the mistakes that i've made

In my life

You know, i've created a pigeon of me

Does it? Is not me

.. I did a lot of things

When I was young that I'm not proud of

But, I know those things helped me

To be tha MAN that I am now1

[Verse 1:]

When you come from nothing and turn it into a fortune

The people around you all want their portion

A couple Mercedes, a couple of Porsches

The bitches are shiesty so a couple abortions,

Hoes gets slimey, they all like oysters,

The media picking at you they all like vultures.

And you on the pedestal, you gotta stay focused

Every move you make, it represents your culture.

You wanna be normal, but that life’s over,

Now you own TV, magazines and posters

Your represent gangstas, you represent soldiers

And they can’t stand you, why cause you not Oprah.

And you got tattoos, your ? all rolled up

And they like “oh my!” and you like “so what?”

The world is cool but one thing it showed us

Whatever don’t kill us only makes us more tough.

.. the talent that you've gave me

People wanted me to 35 years old right now

This guy with all his talent

This guy who owns the effect ...

With all the people in this World

We want them to be this way

Well, i didn't wanted to be that way

(What did you wanna do?)

Me? and who is you ?

[Verse 2:]

In search of fame, at sanity’s cost

You a household name, but all privacy lost

You make a mistake, they hang you up on a cross

All of a sudden they forgot who you are.

They forgot about all the times you hustled and fall

Please show me a king thats never suffered a loss.

Or show me a man that never suffered a scar

And I’ll show you a man thats never given his all.

I’ll show you man thats never given his heart

From becoming a monster, it’s all ya fault

You can’t be a gentleman when you swimming with sharks

Shit, when you wanna be Superman, who gonna be Clarke Kent?

Pour out my heart until I wind up heartless,

Tryna become a father without having a father,

They here when you ride then celebrate when you fall

But throughout it all, I just ball.
