[Intro: Gabriella Winchester]

Yo Yo

What's up ya'll?

This is Gabriella

And you are listening to Native Lungs with Braille Brizzy

Whoop Whoop

[Hook: Braille]

West coast native

West coast native

West coast native

[Verse 1: Braille]

I was born 1981

September 22nd

First born son

Got my feet wet in the City of Rain

Learned how to walk in the muddy terrain

Used my tape decks to study the rap game

Been around for a while, seen a lot of things change

This is my native land, language I understand

Before I made records I was a fan

I was in the East Coast mostly

The Lifesavers were my favourite group locally

2000 Cream Team with the speakers on max

And the DJ would scratch with his sneakers on his hands man

You could find me in the front row

With the 'double X' clothes on

Pockets full of paper that I wrote on

Always had rhymes with me

That's how I know how to write them so quickly

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Braille]

Where was I?

Let me pick up where I left off

A few years after 'Hammer Pants' and 'Kriss Kross'

I took it serious

Notebooks

Pencil lead

Flow go with the beat like a needle and thread

Needle to the record, freestyling in my room

No audience

Letting the bass go boom

For the love of it

And that's the native lung of it

Back then never knew what would become of it

Before I had my drivers licence

I was analysing who could rhyme the nicest

Shy and silent

But something inside was rising

Each step got more surprising

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Braille]

I learned the hard way, nobody told me how

Kept flowing even though I had a sloppy style

Didn't know how to count my bars right

Must have learned how to play my cards right

So many emcees light-years ahead of me

What can I do that hasn't been done already

Not much, I'm a novice in this

Made mistakes, I can't go back and fix it

I was wicked, never sought forgiveness

Never thought I'd write rhymes with the Gospel in it

I'm not the 'El Capitan' or lieutenant

Things never panned how I planned, I admit it

Thank God I repented

I was so foolish

I thought I could get saved by the music

But He chose me

That's a lot to take in

And that's how the story begins

Let's get it in
