Just now finding out the actual name of this song after hearing it for the first time on ESPN 2k5 almost 20 years ago. I would always think about it and always wondered what it was called and now I finally found it.
It’s true though. I’m not against cussing at all. Lol but curse words are essentially filler. Plus this guy doesn’t say “like a” every two sentences. I feel like every rap song is “I’m fly like an Eagle, I cry like a seagul” lol idk maybe I just don’t listen to enough music.
I've been looking for this song for so FREAKING LONG!!! I would have this on repeat for HOURS when I played this game. Thank you for finding this one, bruh!
I was only 5 when NFL 2k5 came out but I was lucky that one of my dad's friends from work gave me his old xbox because he didn't want it anymore along with games. NFL 2k5 was one of them and this is big flashbacks to being in my crib listening to the jukebox. Way better than madden games

Can You Please upload Mike Reagan's Song ''Come on''??!! For some reason it's not on the soundtrack? Man I Love to hear that song in the Crib!! God,.. I Love this game!!
Nobody:
2K5: Fist punches you as you enter Crib
Used to scare the shit outta me

This was the only track that I played in My crib on NFL 2K5.
NFL 2K5=Best ever

ZThe Real
That will only happen if the NFL or EA lifts their Exclusive Licensing Agreement.
The Falcons on that game were brutal lmao
@@bentindol2473 Them and the Patriots
ESPN 2k5 is still in my opinion the greatest football game ever made. Madden just disappoints me every year but this game is still king.
2K4 in alot of ways is better than 2K5 but both of them together you just CANT BEAT
This song should be well more known than just to 2000 ppl. Of course, Give Props to 2k5 to finding this Maasterpiece!
Should’ve been on the 2k classics on 2k16

This song was so fly to me growing up playing 2K5 now I go back and play it and I realize he was saying some real shit in the lyrics
Matter of fact NFL 2K5 has gotten me through many an ordeal
NFL 2k was so much fun, the lobby with the bobbleheads and your room with the bar was so tight, I LOVE 2k they make it seem like your actually a pro!
#BRINGBACKNFLESPN2k

God thank you for allowing us the opportunity to play ESPN 2k5 a once in a lifetime gem....amen
REAL rap right here. Awesome album cover too
I can see the menus just listening to this
This is the reason why I spent half my time playing NFL 2K5 in the crib
cant believe it took me so long to find this
I wish more people were aware of his music, you know someone's got a good vocabulary if they don't have to curse every single line
Meh
It’s true though. I’m not against cussing at all. Lol but curse words are essentially filler. Plus this guy doesn’t say “like a” every two sentences. I feel like every rap song is “I’m fly like an Eagle, I cry like a seagul” lol idk maybe I just don’t listen to enough music.
He’s one of the best pure rhymers ever

I don't need to be rich, I could get this record on my Old School Spotify playlist, and my life would be complete.
Yo! This shit slid every time! Man I miss the NFL 2k series!
The first that punches you the first time you enter the Crib for Smash Bros.

LYRICS:
Life, a new state of mind, new state of being
Constantly striving to understand what you're seeing
Finding the courage to stop fleeing
Problems that lie within
So this is where we begin
Self-esteem: something that's diminishing
Look upon the faces of the youth you'll see them withering
Societal pressures can be imprisoning
Look at the effects that they have on us all is rather vividly
How many women you know with eating disorders?
How much makeup on the faces of our pre-pubescent daughters?
Dudes are acting macho and they don't know why
A famous never-written motto is that "boys should never cry"
Keep all those emotions bottled up, now what's up?
You can't communicate once you became an adult
Situations got brought 'cause you had lockjaw
Your kids ended up learning about life from a pop star
But I feel that rap is more real
Matter of fact this music's gotten me through many an ordeal
I was laying on a stretcher kicking rhymes by Eazy-E
After falling off my bike while holding food from Mickey D's
So I chilled, had to calm my mental state
Happy with the knowledge that the music helped me meditate
And while I'm healing waiting for this world to erupt
You can catch me sitting next to my crate pulling out cuts
"Pull out your cut" (Rakim...scratched)
Yeah that's what I'm talking about right there
But yo kid, yo I was buggin, you remember "Watch Me Now" by Ultramagnetic?
Oh of course dog, my favorite joint though was Gang Starr
What's that joint? How's that joint go?
Wait, yo I think I remember yo
I'll flip, you know I'll flip the script
I said I'll flip, you know I'll flip the script
The Guru, he's been my idol for years
Ripping shit with Premier, making the be -boys cheer
And the GZA, Investigative Reports
He, Ghost' and Raekwon, they didn't take no shorts
Plus the are, 'cause that's the way that it has to be
These brothers redefined lyrical mastery
And I could go on cold pulling cuts for days
But I got something to say about you rappers today
Your rhymes drop in weak spurts so you bite 'til your teeth hurt
But I'm your dentist so meet my apprentice
Chucky, and Charlie Bronson from Death Wish
I couldn't hoard all of these medical skills and be selfish
It's hard to say rhymes with no incisors or canines
I kill all the weak minds, administer brain????????
'Cause I'm the type of kid that's on the positive tip
But that's because I suppress my urges to slaughter you quick
But this time I just can't fight the feeling
That's why I'm smiling as your small intestines dangle from the ceiling
You're over, as KRS has said on the track
"It means return of the real hard beats and real rap" (KRS-ONE sampled)
"Pull out your cut" (Rakim...scratche
2k5
I love that I found two songs from the same album on two different video games - nfl 2k5 and Tony hawks underground (iphantom)
2k5 still the best in 2019!!

NFL 2k5
The only good song on 2k5. Nobody can sit here and tell me that this soundtrack was good. Madden had better songs throughout they years especially 07.
Love & Success Follows Me
Clean Living is a good ass song
Ace Cowboy was straight 🔥
J Boogie
Clean living and the god in me is fire wdym
This is FAR from the only good track in the game. Oceanic Lullaby, Golden Nectar, Clean Living, Ace Cowboy, etc.
