WHAT!! #BARS. I still love the whole Soul Tape 2 and this is my favorite song. Plus, those bars are my favorite out of the whole CD
my second favorite verse on that album. first one is "And I’m not one who favors using words like had I’m into having shit, turning dreams to average shit Bring your trophy to the club, Dallas Maverick shit"
It hurts to even think about it Would be in the streets, thirsty, trying to get a drink up out it Black hoodie, I pull that quatro cinco out And put that iron to your clothes like I’m taking wrinkles out it Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson, and Lincoln out it Look you in yo eyes and tell you, "Don’t you even think about it" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you don’t list this as one of the greatest hip hop songs ever you don’t know about life. Great composition. Great word play. Real gangsta but straight up about life. 💯
Aged like fine wine 🍷 💎 fab is one of the goats of my generation and deserves his flowers 💐 from smack dvds to over seas fabulous has shown us growth in his lyrical ability and artistry
2012 damn I can’t believe it’s been almost a decade since this shit came out Soul Tape 2 was and still is my shit 1-3 Fab one of the most underrated niggas in the game
“I’m growing up, my daddy planted a seed My momma watered me with a plan to succeed I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds But I’m here now and I don’t plan to recede.” 🔥🔥🔥
Everybody, hats off to this man. He didn't go to them diddy parties. That's why he didn't get the radio play he should have. He's a modern poet. Fabolous... well done every time.
This man is too real. I’m seriously impressed. I hate almost all rap, albeit I love old school rap and some current groups like Jet Life. This song flowed so beautifully great with the beat and some deep lyrics. 👏🏻
@Bdk Gdk Kool Name and yes Fab aint even Top 5 as far as 🗽Hip Hop goes there's Jadakiss,Cam,Lloyd Banks and I'm leaving out obviously Jay-Z and Nas. Fab on A Juelz Santana Mixtape Feature level.
Old enough to no better young enough to not give a fuck I rather hold my head high and die than live and duck...That's one principal I live to the fullest....
Black hoodie, I pull that quatro cinco out And put that iron to your clothes like I’m taking wrinkles out it Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson, and Lincoln out it Look you in yo eyes and tell you, "Don’t you even think about it"........ Omg Barz
Quite sure this is some of the best rapping I’ve ever heard from a human being in my life
That's why I love Fab's music...you'll find a bunch of songs that are lyrically flawless

Preach!
That line " I'm here (Hair) now, and i dont plan to receed" is sooo sick! like 10 years later and I just got that!
I'm here now (hair now) and I don't plan to receed
Sometimes I think I lucked up (looked up) at the right time; imagine if I fucked up that nice line
THIS IS ALL IN References TO the same analogy/topic
HES HERE NOW & ISNT GOING BACK (gonna keep leveling up being successful)
HE LUCKED UP with the position he made it to, but choices he's made coming from his background he could've thrown it all away
METAPHOR
Hair receeding is your Lineup going backward away from your forehead, or also if you barber doing too much on your lineup and takes too much off the front, that can occur of you move your head, of look up when the barber is telling you to hold your head down while he lines you & fucks up your nice line
WHEN HE PICKS A TOPIC & CAN FIND a way to correlate 2 things at once metaphorically, THERES NONE BETTER than FAB
@@Bbow2005he actually said "imagine if I fucked up that night slime"
It's "imagine if i'da fucked that night slime"
