1986 a star was in the making,
2
I had no idea that the world was for the taking.
3
Received my education from the television stations,
4
My family never had them dinner conversations.
5
When they got back from work, you'd see their backs would hurt.
6
So I provided laughter, my earliest acting work
7
Doing dances, lip-syncing rappers
8
Impersonating Michael Jackson and Kung-Fu captions.
9
Ha, funny guy, never had the butterflies

Never shy, every five minutes I would improvise.
11
Class clown, had jokes before a peach fuzz,
12
Ask around, I was roasting them like peanuts
13
Dime bags in middle school, my Walkman
14
My life saver through dark days and lost angels
15
Fourteen candles when I wrote a sixteen
16
For the first time my first rhymes were shitty
17
So we practiced, and the homie tracked us
18
It attracted mad bitches to the mattress
19
Spent more time on my rapping than fractions
20
Dropped all my classes
21
Cause I was born for this...
22
I was born for this (I was born for this)
23
Yeah I was born for this (Yeah I was born for this)
24
I was born for this (I was born for this)
25
Yeah I was born for this

Thinking they were getting me when they're 'bout to get handled
29
Rambo killin', my crew like Sam Crow
30
Crammed seven in a van, man it wasn't grandiose, nah
31
Shows were grassroots
32
Before the cash road gas money tours we were sleeping on the floors
33
If you saw me and Zo way before then you would know

We have grown, if we had a chart it'd be a slope
35
Going up, up, see the slope going up
36
The student became the teacher now the kid blowing up

Don't ever leave a mic cold
38
Flow when the cameras roll
39
Signed that open mic list

Hunger should have told you this
41
Crenshaw or rock a Bar Mitzvah,
42
Any chance I got was like that and like this ya'll

Takes ten years, not ten seconds to lift off
44
Stay patient and try not to get pissed cause
45
Fifteen year-old Jon would've served young'un

Nineteen year-old Jon would've served time
47
But Old Boy Jon, man he's out here having fun
48
And the best has yet to come
