On Lost Road EP

Verse 1:

It started as a dream from a zero self-esteem teen

The opposite of lean, when he stepped on the scene

Slept on it seemed, no respect for his team

Cleverly better than every MC in the ring

So the kid started rappin just for the hell of it

He was out of his element, dealing with hella pessimists

His rhymes were excellent. Executin perfectionist

But folks was negligent to the youngins intellegence

He was hella spent

Never tryna get the cheddar, mozzarella settlement

To him, rockin a show was sex, and he was celibate

Just a single opening gig to him heaven sent

Music was his medicine, somethin that settled him

Did it for the betterment of himself he’d never quit

Not the shit, all he wanted was to be relevant

Steady chasin his dream sequences til he’s celebrant

That was it

Verse 2:

But then he woke up

Back to munchin cold cuts

Stank

Ran to the bathroom, he had to throw up

Rank

Knownin he had no fame was a cold one

Lame

Back to rappin all alone to no one

Blank

He was over that. Told his folks he’s growin old and drove the Chevy Nova

Roller coaster to the coast to boast his golden raps

Attract some labels with his hopes, dope fables, finna bulldoze haters

No coke nosed woven trash

It’s spoken fact. That if you wanna make it then there’s no holdin back

No strings attached no thinkin act

React to the crap that they threw at you

Independently producin music that you knew was true

So he flew the coop. drew a slough of stupid tunes

Stupid I mean beautiful. Tunes, I mean musical

The juvenile was tryna prove that soon he would suitable

Inscrutable evidence lead to him wreckin usuals

He started gettin booked

Receivin different looks

Believin in himself-wealth he was livin good

In a different hood, the rapper was misunderstood

And soon he would be known by everybody, man he had em hooked

What I’m tryin to say is that you gotta put in work

Luck is a factor but rappers gotta make music first

Dapper slappers worse when crappy slackers don’t smash a verse

Never kickin back cuz music is a savage curse
