Left Ear
Discovering Tomorrow's Balance
Lyrics
Wasn't a kid that listened 2 rap late
Expressing that the speaker did not start listening to rap at a young age.
Heard N.W.A. when I was about 8
First exposure to N.W.A. at the age of 8.
Took me off Kid N' Play
Moved away from Kid N' Play due to Too Short's influence on perception of women.
Cuz Too Short had me looking at Ms. Gray
Too Short's impact on the speaker's view of women.
I Had 2 say I wasn't thinking about fucking
Denying thoughts about sex while listening to music.
Bumping Late Night Hype by Compton's Most Wanted
Listening to "Late Night Hype" by Compton's Most Wanted.
Them Tracks was so crisp
Appreciating the quality of the tracks.
Bo$$ and Spice 1 and King Tee At Your Own Risk
Listing artists like Bo$$, Spice 1, and King Tee.
Souls Of Mischief Rob threw me
Souls Of Mischief's influence through Rob.
But kept the Cube and Ren, Rob blew me
Referencing Ice Cube and MC Ren's impact.
But Eventually, I dubbed the tapes
Eventually started making mixtapes.
Music 2 Drive by kept me bumping Eiht
Listening to "Music 2 Drive by" by Eiht.
Cypress Hill's Black Sunday
Cypress Hill's "Black Sunday" inspired the belief in becoming a rapper.
Gave me the vision that I could rap one day
Continued appreciation for music from the speaker's side.
Still was cranking shit from our side
Not skipping Pharcyde's influence.
But I wasn't gon pass by the Pharcyde
Left ear always open, emphasizing West Coast influence.
I had my left ear open
Reiteration of the importance of the left ear and West Coast artists.
Back n the day, a nigga str8 west-coasting

-RIP Easy E and Nip
Paying respects to Easy E and Nipsey Hussle.
My favorite color blue but I ain't no crip
Clarifying personal preferences and neutrality in gang affiliation.
I wear red but I ain't no blood
-I'm neutral, whoever getting hands or hugs
Discussing experiences, relationships, and plans.
Been getting Cali tree cuz my mans the plug
-Been a fan of drugs, understand the bud
-When I land with bruh, the plan is love
-Cuz the weather alone will have your manners up
-I know where 2 move and where not 2 move
-Cali got gangs, I ain't forgot the rules
-I take this opportune and go 2 8th Notch
-Eating Saucy D's chilling with both Jay Rocks
-One from DC and one from Watts
-Both of em nigga know I got love N my heart
-2022 gonna B my best year
-I'm blessed here, all because of my left ear
Credit to the left ear for the speaker's positive journey.
I had my left ear open
Final emphasis on the impact of the left ear and West Coast focus.
Back n the day, a nigga str8 west-coasting
-Even though N DC I was posted

-I had my left ear open
-Back n the day, a nigga str8 west-coasting
