[Chorus]
Lemme give you all a little bit of context
How I got here and how I made this progress
Why I say all the crazy thoughts in
My brain, it's a daily offence
Lemme give you all a little bit of context
How I got here and how I made this progress
Why I say all the crazy thoughts in
My brain, it's a daily offence
[Verse 1]
As I think back to the time when I started
The shit I put my life, put my soul, put my heart in
The shit became cathartic, for times I felt discarded
Could just sit down and write emotions down on parchment
The shit felt like the clouds around my vision dissipated
All the new ideas that hit my brain, I couldn't have anticipated
I felt invigorated, started stackin' written pages
Committed to the game although my aim was never gettin' famous
Only way I think I can explain, it is the inspiration
That I got from listenin' to vintage tapes until the shit I played
Was integrated, man, I used to sit and spend the day
Just studyin' the heavy weights, religiously
Until the information that I gained
Became engrained enough for me to simulate
And feel like maybe I could emulate, then as the days went by
I started tryin' to reciprocate, I used to think
"If I just have a little faith then someday, I could spit the same"
It's like I light the flame, and 'til this day, it isn't changin'
Well, maybe only in one way—the shit is strengthened
I went from imitatin' emcees to straight innovation
Masterin' the art of linguistic verbal picture paintin'
I've been eliminatin' any getting in my way
So if they say that they was always with me, I know if they fakin'
This shit ain't Minute Maid, but I made sure that every minute made
A difference, so lemme tell you 'bout my history
[Chorus]
Lemme give you all a little bit of context
How I got here and how I made this progress
Why I say all the crazy thoughts in
My brain, it's a daily offence
Lemme give you all a little bit of context
How I got here and how I made this progress
Why I say all the crazy thoughts in
My brain, it's a daily offence
[Verse 2]
Fast forward to the second of the sixth
The day I met the friend who inspired me the second that we met
It was like I met my twin, similar in every sense
Without C-U-S-A-X, I doubt I ever woulda spit
This is Yeo records, bitch, representin' to the end!
Brought you ChampyG and Embis with him, CJC and S2N
44-R-O-N, hip-hop is who I am
Heaven sent penmanship, but never a pessimist
I'm connected to the pen like a fuckin' chain-link fence
Y'all was waitin' for ascent, dropped it, made you all regret
Ever doubtin' me, 'cause now you see I'm not takin' prisoners
Now they clownin' me, surroundin' me but they ain't authentic
They ain't nothin' more than shadows of a true fuckin' human
Hiroshima every time I drop new lots of music
And if I ever blow up, do not confuse me for Truman
I will never be a fuckin' show for you all to tune in
I do this shit 'cause it's an outlet for me to express
Every ounce of conflict that I've needed to get
Off of my chest, every thought I overthink in my head
All gets released and I can finally be me once again
And I can live my life the way it should be lived
A brain full of ideas like a grenade put on paper, pull the pin
It's a danger to be near this shit, ain't safe, so just keep clear
I'ma explain why I came so please be patient
Thank you, here, lemme—
[Chorus]
Lemme give you all a little bit of context
How I got here and how I made this progress
Why I say all the crazy thoughts in
My brain, it's a daily offence
Lemme give you all a little bit of context
How I got here and how I made this progress
Why I say all the crazy thoughts in
My brain, it's a daily offence
