Baby Songtext
von TP

Man I′m always the under dog
Passed on the beat but I took it dog
Same people who ignored me gon' wanna call
And be cool with me now, look at y′all

Coulda lost the game, God saved me
Mad love to the village that raised me
Appreciate the foundation y'all laid me
Cause what didn't break me, made me
I′ll never be the entertainer of Jay-Z
Or rap the alphabet like Papoose from A to Z
Hand me a ball not a toy from KB
I′ll never be as innocent as a


Talking, yo he this small
Put the hand down like yo he this tall
So I grabbed the mic like yo, to show y'all
Can still make it big outta Winston like Chris Paul
Never beef like five with no guys
I ain′t talking 40 speed when I say I had a .45
I mean I could run a .45
But school still made sense like intellect with no I

Never had a job like Steve
The iPod was a gift from the family
So I ordered water cause I wasn't getting paid
When I know I really wanted strawberry lemonade

Yo, but it′s all good
It's like either you rap or you ball good
But I stayed out the hood like we all should
Now I′m bout to get richer like Smallwood

Pops left but he ain't quit
Till I turned 18 he would pay it
So I called mom when I couldn't pay rent
What can I say, I got the best parents

Coulda lost the game, God saved me
Mad love to the village that raised me
Appreciate the foundation y′all laid me
Cause what didn′t break me, made me

Two times, yeah two times


When I didn't know what to do
Pops went overseas with the Navy
And the other time mom was pregnant with my little

Brother, this how the story go
Moms didn′t want a kid but I prayed so
Hard everyday and night, lil bruh big now
And guess what, they say we act just alike

Cocky like Dockers, use my old locker
And wear my old boxers

Pound for pound the best player on his rosters
His jump shots smooth as silk, it's no shocker
My third year of high school was crazy
I was better than the senior but the coach wouldn′t play me

But it didn't break me, strong it made me
And now that same coach support me like I′m his
People said I would never ball Carolina
Old news, I already balled Carolina
And I would rather be in my position
And not living up to the hype like Harold Miner
Pops left but he ain't quit
Till I turned 18 he would pay it

So I called mom when I couldn't pay rent
What can I say, I got the best parents

Coulda lost the game, God saved me
Mad love to the village that raised me
Appreciate the foundation y′all laid me
Cause what didn′t break me, made me
