[Verse 1] [Independent]
On the great date of December 8 a future rap star was born and there was no time to waste
I used to play cards with my friends, and now we like to hoop and rap
I had to quit track, cuz I got a job that would one day put me abroad
So I took it to the next level
Thank god I left Puerto Rico the place I stayed wasn't home
It was like a rental
I hope that all my fans understand the lyrics I write with my pencil
My handwriting sloppy
So when I go to school
It's tough for all the fools, when they asking me to copy
Cuz they can't read my paper
Grandparents lived at 12 12 with Bob and Caper
Bob died soon, almost like a month later
I was young
Never thought my background would turn into a cash round, from raps from my tongue
The mexican girl, I admit I was sprung
But the lesson was learned
With my feelings overhung, and my feelings overheard
Why would I re rap a situation that many times I tried to reword
[hook](2x)
I put it like that
I put it like this
I put it like that for everyone that exists
[Verse 2] [Independent]
A mystery man by the age of 16, I didn't know what I would do for my up and coming dream
So I had to decide
The life that I strive for, die for
Making it known what I'm alive for
What do I use my eyes for, to see all my options
Like the great assist man, that's Magic Johnson
I've always had friends, always had foes
But enemies are nothing cuz the friends are who I choose
So I don't let them phase me
Instead I sit in the corner listen to jay-z, it drives them crazy
That I have matured
I'm not insecure
I can see all my weaknesses and turn them into cures
So I'm back in the chi
Told all my friends hi while they fried
I could tell who was baked from their eyes
I said naw to my friends Jason
Naw to my dude Deshawn
Cuz they not about that life and trust me neither am I
So I shout out to the brothers
Shout out to my mother
Shout out to the girls that I got while undercover
So I shout to all the brothers
Shout out to my mother
Shout out to the girls that I got while undercover
