[Verse 1:]

Uh, Look...Everybody judge based on money, color, status, uh... this world is controlled madness, but it's been this way before I was skippin' classes, at home being absent and working on these classics! I see this world through a pair of different colored glasses, I write on this pad but it's just practice, on the mic and i'm spazzin', I look at what I have compared to everything I had then, damn I came a long way, everyone the same on the inside my mom say, thinking back when I was gettin' pushed up in the hallway, I was thinking bout' it all day, yea... said I was thinking bout' it all day, but... push me now and I break your arm, throw you on a lawn in front of your mom, drop a bomb like Vietnam on ya, my weapon drawn on ya, i'm steppin' calm on ya, i'm never stallin' on ya, but...uh, I got a story to tell, but when you looking at me I bet you probably couldn't tell, there's many things blocking you from seeing the real me, so I hope you listen to this shit and just feel me cuz...

(Chorus:) 
Men lie, women lie, numbers do to, uh, do to yea numbers do to, I said men lie, women lie, colors do to, they do to, yea yea, they do to, I seen men cry, women cry, yea I do to, uh, I do to, yea yea, I cry to, I said men die, women die, one day I will to, uh, one day we all will to cuz...

(Chorus:)
Yo...Uh, I can't wait to look back on my life and say I made it! yea I made it, yeah, I can't wait to look back on my life and say that I made it, yea I made it, yeah, I made it out the ghetto! made it out the pain! made it out the struggle! yea I made a name! I made it out the ghetto! made it out the pain! made it out the struggle! now it ain't the same, say hello to fame James...

[Verse 1:]
Yea, and every day I wake up tryna do better, instead of only being that man tryna make her wetter, hey, I'm looking for love, that's four letters, I'm more clever, you know i'm better than anyone stackin' cheddar up to the ceiling! I'm making a livin' and a killin' and i'm willin' to be a little bit different with the way that i'm spittin' so, come sit and listen, gather round, it's the mission to get along, with this song I'll inspire the world, when you're feeling wrong just let your feelings unfurl, cuz you never know which direction it's gonna go and so i'm just spittin' this flow to keep me on a steady stroll, I've been down this road a million times before, got the delivery and rhymes and it's times the flow, plus the beat, so much heat man I hope they know my name, I just wanna shake hands and say hello to fame as if it was a person and when I'm hurtin' in the brain I just go berserk over every instrumental cuz I feel like I was meant to, it's like... I was sent to tell stories of what I've been through, It's pretty simple but also complex, I can't wait to look back at what I accomplished...

(Chorus:)
I can't wait to look back on my life and say I made it! yea I made it, yeah, I can't wait to look back on my life and say that I made it, yea I made it, yeah, I made it out the ghetto! made it out the pain! made it out the struggle! yea I made a name! I made it out the ghetto! made it out the pain! made it out the struggle! now it ain't the same, say hello to fame James... woah ooh oh oh, oh yea, say hello to fame James, yea yea, woah ooh oh yea, say hello to fame James...

[Verse 2:]
Yea, and every day I wake up just tryna better my self, okay maybe not everyday but you get it, I'm just tryna make what i'm spittin' something that you felt, at the moment this drops that's three projects under my belt, and they all got my heart and soul in em', you can feel the soul in em' like the Jordan 1's that are on my feet, jeez louis, I leave motherfuckers deceased the second I step in these, ain't no one can step to me! and that's just how I feel, I gotta keep it real, I'm independent but... one day i'ma sign that deal, and give the check to my moms, tired of moving all them boxes in and out the garage, but what have I become, I guess it's all a mirage, am I a monster? am I an angel? man it's really hard, but now i'm shooting for the stars cuz I wanna be a stars and I'm looking to the stars like Nostradamus and I'm going far I promise, I'm the bombest like Bin Laden with Saddam, and I just gotta keep it honest but man i can be a liar, one day I feel like nothin' and one day I'm the messiah, but I'm tryna stay level headed cuz I'll be in my grave one day, so I best not misbehave, man I just cannot wait to look back on my life and i'll say i made it!
