Give me floweres while I can smell em'.

They're the only little presence that keeps me in the heaven of heavens.

they say "oh here we go again"

again with the misdemeanors, with my brother who gave a meaner,

meaner than dodging bullets, I'm a dreamer

while other kids were dodgin balls,

i got balls, thats courage in my lingo

lingo changed the way i spoke to my ma

I wasnt aware that i my skin would eventually wrinkle

If you werent ready to blast, thats 5 shots to the back

dumb kid with a gun, dipped out cadillac

I got my tongue from hip-hop, my knowledge from the books

the books, took me away from the k's and crooks

My gramps told me to stay in school like is was an option

now i'm writing rhymes, feeling grooves, feeling a little stevie hawkins

So give me flowers while i can smell em'.

they're the only little presence that keeps me in the heaven of heavens.
