Moment in the Sun

And Ive had my moment in the sun
I thank each and everyone of you for showin your affections
Can I make a graceful exit
With my dignity in tact
In fact the time is not exact
To when exactly I believe I know I am never commin back
Well then perhaps
Well just have to see about that
Im still a poor motherfucker in the back of a hatchback
Never known to put my work in a sack
And I never had the urge to even purchase a strap
And thats a fact
I dont even know where its at
Think my accomplice will resent me for ( ) at last
There gonna attach and read the back
You wanna see how I make it
Better do me a little favor put me in the shade

Had my my moment in the sun
whats said and done is said and done
the failures that I made
and the struggles Ive overcome

the struggles Ive overcome
all the shit you been through right
yeah we wont talk about that
all that shit you had to do
shit
you know thats true
yeah its true

I had to sell drugs to get by and get high
And I dont wanna be the one to complain
Explain why I tried keepin my nose clean
I mean I seen enough from here
Fear my water may be dirty but my conscience is clear

Sell my record youre the expert at predicting the weather
Never been so unprepared I guess I shoulda known better
Then I wear a sweater while I?m sweatin in the heat of the day
Better do me a little favor
Put me in the shade

Had my moment in the sun
Whats said and done is said and done
The failures that I made
And the struggles Ive overcome
the struggles Ive overcome
And Ive had my moment in the Sun!

None of my heroes carry guns
Im not knockin those who do
Cause I never had to walk a million miles in your
Shoes
Nothin to loose
Somethin to prove
What would I do
The questions obsolete
Cause you would kill before I do

Man Buddha went and got himself a shotgun
Jesus bought a nina I hear Allah even got one
Preach your kindness while you practice your aim
Better do a little favor put me in the shade

Had my moment in the sun
whats said and done is said and done
the failures that I made
and the struggles Ive overcome

We always did this for ourselves, never quit, forget a hit
you think Im writin all this music for the radio
shit
still think about way back in the day
scrapin those bowls to get me high,
the cheap equipment that we played Hey
But thats a lessen all you players gotta learn
I heard the music
And the music owes you nothin in return
Word
Wish to God my boys would always stay together
But I gotta keep it real cuz I know nothin lasts forever
We were never ever ever ever in it for the fame
These mother fuckers getting knocked
Before their shit be getting lame
Hey
Maybe someday youll remember my name
Cause when Im leavin its like Jordan at the top of my game

Had my moment in the sun
whats said and done is said and done
the failures that I made
and the struggles Ive overcome

I had my moment in the sun
I thank each and every one of you for showin your affections
Can I make a graceful exit
With my dignity in tact
In fact the time is not exact
To when exactly I believe I know Im never commin back
