Stairs Intro

Went from the corner store to family cornerExplainstone
 My father was a rolling stone
 Mother mi corazon
 Chino off of Normandy, no need for Rosetta Stone
 Chicanos took me in and treated me as if I was their own
 Young legend in the shadows of K-Town
 Under-appreciated but my greatness was space bound
 I held it down for my people at a time
 When my people looked at me like I was out my damn mind
 I forgive 'em, all the lows provided me higher living
 Now the haters on the low, they be asking me how I'm living
 Things sure have changed since '04
 Now I'm traveling to places that I'd seen in brochures
 Yellow kid with the beanie in the summer
 But never hot-headed, kept it cool, I'm a lover
 Smooth Asian brother, mustache looking butter
 Can't walk a block without a fan saying "What up?"
 What up player, I'm living like a mayor
 Trying to hijack the airwaves, call me Con Air
 Never took a shortcut man, I took the long stairs
 Now blonde haired chicks on my dick like John Mayer
 Used to bum rides off the homies' Hyundai
 Hit the lab with a big dream and a junk drive
 Now I got a whip, looking like I stunt drive
 Smoking blunts, high, middle fingers to the one time
 Yeah you see me on the web like Charlotte
 Racking up the views not knowing what I started
 Numbers look retarded like mainstream artists
 Your boy did it all on his own while uncharted
 People still ask your brother "Are we there yet?"
 We ain't even close cause my momma in a hairnet
 If you're feeling me then put one in the air vent
 Longer that I walk up, the higher that these stairs get
