'96 Benz

Forever seem way too long I wanna live right now I don't wanna save no more I wanna spend right now I want a Benz right now I don't need amends right now Never leavin' I'm in the deep end But I know they'll come back 'round when I'm out Came a long way from the days Couldn't get none to believe High top fade like Kane Movin' up the list like dean's The principle still ain't change If it did, then it could lead To a coffin It was more than often That I felt boxed in 4 ways of the street, 1996 He was born, I was dreamin' 'bout a Benz All black, chrome rims, and limo tint Fall back, I'm feelin' militant Paint job is filled with melanin My niggas back up in hell again Almost forced that hand to sell again That water to that well again See, it's a process I still ain't digest I seen 'em digress And I'll be damned If I ever end up like them If I never get back to where I am Then I'll be Charlie runnin' that ward This that Burg talk in every word Open the cage and release the birds Got that '96 in traffic Told myself I need to have it Ridin' through the city with the homies, music blastin' Heard they blastin' for that power They can't take away what's ours Ain't waitin' for tomorrow Lord give me a couple hours Open up, like partin' the sea Tryna break free from the love of these hoes And my name on the road like marks on the street Lust keep hauntin' the peace Takin' all the parts of me 'Til I'm down on my knees Left with no other choice, but to find that voice inside of me Time to kill the ego Everything it feed on Livin' that life for the name Settle for a Nissan Probably get lease on it 'for I cop that chain Went and put a ring on Never did agree on love through my personal ways Maybe that's me And I'm trapped in the mind of a nigga who never gon' change That '96, was the validation That I finally made it where I'm at now All the moments that paralyzed me Are the reasons that I won't back down I came up to give back down To the ones who been backed down Who lookin' at me like a statue 'Cause I'm actually you in that background When that background noise Start to get too loud to avoid You can either tap into your soul Or let your ego deploy So while it's all black And limo tinted, with chrome rims Just how I visioned I realized, that one born in '96 is why I'm livin' Got that '96 in traffic, told myself I need to have it Ridin' through the city with the homies, music blastin' Heard they blastin' for that power They can't take away what's ours Ain't waitin' for tomorrow Lord give me a couple hours
