Stairs Intro - Dumbfoundead

Went from the corner store to family cornerstone

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
