Hey Casey, where you about to go? I'm about to go to the studio, man Man nigga, you know we got practice Bro, I ain't going to practice today Man you miss practice again, dad gon' fuck you up Oh well, I'm tryna do this music, man Shit, you tripping but fuck it bro, be safe nigga Like any parents would, we wanted our son to have more than we did. So we pushed for him to use basketball and academics to get out the hood Picture me on my side of town with the top down and I'm riding AC on cause it's hot outside, got a bad one beside me We done came up It's been a long time coming, I'm still getting excited Foreign whips, exotic trips, my whole family got a pot to piss See I'm the one to put the blame on, I grew up getting my fame on They hear me but don't see my name on it You took my swag, shame on you If you knew better, then lil nigga you'd do better My mind right, my whip clean My money match my new sweater Who better? They slept on me, we taking this to a new level I be over shit, I dropped her off and I got right back into the cheddar Nigga this my city and I run it like Usain Bolt I been on tour not the videos and I always see the same hoes Every track I spill my pain on it, nothing been the same for me Wake her up in the morning and I make her tat my name on it like After a while, my little man gained a strong will and different plans. It was then that he picked up a mic. I knew about the rap game and the last thing I wanted him to do was lose focus. He didn't. Not only did he make the honor, he had several acceptance letters to colleges. And a mixtape so compelling he was buzzing everywhere. He won my respect and he was allowed to pursue his dream. Now today when I listen to his music, there is no bigger fan. I'm Big Joe, Casey's father. Watch it work A lot on my mind, I'm trying to show ya That's part of life, you live and you grow She sucking me slow, making me feel I'm on top of the world and I'm letting her know I'm a young man, shit I'm getting manners I just get this feeling, I don't understand it I'm high off life and she faded off me Love is a drug and I'm bout to O.D I can tell shit gon' change The crazy things she would for them diamond rings Baby girl got her own she can be my main I wonder if she all the way so that she wanna stay The good ones go, no I can't let her down I can't wait for it no, I need it right now She tryna lay me down, know she a turn around My mind go to different places when I spend time alone It's sounding like "la-la-la-la-la-la- La-la-la-la-la-la-la" What's on your mind, I want you to tell me right now Lately I been feeling down and she go down Go down, go down Baby do it so good, she deserve a crown And I'm the king (Aw man, aw man, aw man Aw man, aw man, aw man Aw man, yeah) It took a long time for Casey to get here. The trials and tribulations of life. The things that turn a boy into a man. The things that made my son live and grow. I know you waited patiently for this album, I hope it was worth the wait. I hope you see his vision, I hope you see his vision
