“Ricky”

 

Get a grip, Coach Finn.

Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the coaches that told me

I’d never play D1 or nothin’, to all the people that lived down the street

In Wilton where I was throwing off the wall day and night

Who called the police on me when I was just tryin’ to get into college to feed my family,

And the players in the struggle, you know what I’m sayin’?

Uh-ha, it’s all good baby bay-bee, uh

It was all a dream

I used to read Inside Lax magazine

Long trips down to 205 in a Cherokee

Hangin’ pictures on my wall

Every Saturday, Gary Gait, Marley Marl

I let my stick rock ‘til my stick popped

Stringin’ my own wand, sippin’ on private stock

Way back, when I had the blue and white sweatpants

With the hat to match

Remember dodgin’ Zuck, duh-ha, duh-ha

You never thought that stoppin’ shots would take it this far

Now I’m in the limelight ‘cuz I lax tight

Time to get paid, trade stocks all day

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Remember when I used to eat saltines for dinner

Peace to BA, Joey R, Bradley

White Ray, B Dubbs, Matty and MC

I’m blowin’ up like you thought I would

Call the crib, same number, same hood

It’s all good

Uh, and if you don’t know, now you know, uh huh

[chorus, skip a stanza, chorus]

Sony Playstation, econometric analysis

When I was just a laxhead I couldn’t picture this

Fifteen inch screen, money green Reebok uniform

Got a ride to practice, Cherokee in a snow storm

Theta Delt bills about two Gs flat

No need to worry Barb and Bob handle that

And my whole crew is loungin’

Celebratin’ every day, no more student housin’

Thinkin’ back on my one room dorm

Now I got bitches fillin’ out SEC forms

Sam loves to show me off of course

Smiles every time I do the yard work

We used to fuss when Jerry Rich dissed us

No heat, wonder why math class missed us

Two-a-days was the worst days

Now we sip Yuengling when we thirs-tay

Um, damn right I like the life I lead

‘Cause I went from Wilton to Big Green

And it’s all . . .

It’s all good.
