[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, teeth 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 it 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 shit with out you boo

My crew ???, CP, E-Mon

??? Rhyme, Phenom

Time for all the bullshit to be gone, no more starvin'

Let's get our feast on

I got some shit 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
