Blowin' Up In The World - Kool G. Rap

Back in the days was kinda crazy  kid I started out with nothin 
Wasn't livin like Thanksgiving  I was turkey without the stuffin 
Sometimes I sweared to God that I was headed for the poorhouse 
Say mama caught the drama  she would bleed tryin to feed 4 mouths 
Wasn't rockin Girbauds  I barely had clothes  and when it snowed 
and temperatures droppin below zero  you know I froze 
No CD's  a black and white TV  a seat is a rubber tire 
with a hanger for the antenna, turned channels with some pliers 
Had nothin in my cabinet, but cans of Raid 
I'm knockin on my neighbor's door 
to borrow a cup of sugar for my Kool-Aid 
I wasn't freshly dipped, my gear was straight ripped, I'm trippin 
cause my winter coat got lost buttons 
and zippers that wouldn't stay zipped 
I never remembered ?, the brother was straight fat cat 
Not even a Big Mac black, I had Kid Castle topped with crackerjacks 
Walkin the streets, with the weak sneaks on my feet 
And the freaks wouldn't speak, I never had lipstick on my cheek 
So much for gettin humped from the stunts, I always struck out 
The one y'all likes is takin hikes if you can't pull a buck out 
So now I gots to dedicate my next plate to all the homeboys and girls 
Straight up baby, I'm blowin up in the world 

Blowin up, blowin up in the world 
Blowin up, blowin up in the world! 
I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines 
I gotsta get mines, youknowhatI'msayin? I'm blowin up in the world 

Blowin up, blowin up in the world 
Blowin up, blowin up in the world! 
I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines 
I gotsta get mines, yeah... 

It seems like only yesterday, my moms was on my back 
"Get your butt up out the s
