[Verse 1]

Yeah, aye

I feel like I started this music

When they started abusing

Me in the middle schools

They ridiculed me for everything

Like being cool was really all that mattered

But no one seemed to notice the pattern

Yeah

Look

I was in sixth grade

Lying bout my dick’s weight

Some people would fuck with me

But others had some distaste

I wanted vent space

Wrote at a quick pace

Posted that shit online, and I

Was hoping to get people to click play

It was kind of a risky move

But the rhymes are what I quickly do

You don’t know what it’s like in these shoes

Take a step back, cause I’m ticking

BOOM!

Put the pen to the notebook

Wrote some verses, man I even wrote hooks

It was page after page after page after page

Every day, you would say that I wrote books

But it was a soft spot

I'm thinking every day that my song’s hot

But they be saying that my song’s not

But at least it was better than what y’all got!

So why you judging on me?

Why the fuck don’t y’all see?

That’s when I knew I had to let em know

So I went off on a beat and then I made this shit more than a hobby

It was really only a matter of time

Before the ladder was climbed

I’m snatching a dime

Then simply passing her to the side

It’s like

It’s like I’m clashing with titans

Or getting slashed by a lion

Man, I just can’t win

It’s like I’m going off on a toddler

Getting top from your mom first

Then I hop in the Honda

Man, I’m not very proper

Probably could’ve been a doctor

But now I’m not bothered, I’m a Chopper

Just like I oughtta

Yo


[Break]

What are you?

What are you sayin', bruh?

You think I can do it better?

(Sigh)

Fuck

Alright, nah just let me think of something

It’s these flashbacks

They'reitting me again

It's cool

I get it


[Verse 2]

I was always one to be abstract

Never paid attention up in math class

Not doing this to be a bad ass

I write real shit plus I can rap fast

I got my own secrets, my own past

On the road, tryna get home fast

Always keep it REAL, so I wrote that

But I guess my biggest fear is it won’t last

I see people every day

And they falling off the map

Hope it’s not like that for J

Cause I just took off my cap

For graduating at last

Man, it’s more than just a hat

I’m boxing like Everlast

Put everybody on blast

Tell everybody straight off

(Straight off)

I’m not one to play soft

(Play soft)

I’m done with everybody

With everybody, and they gone

I ain’t working for a pay stub

My money comes in when I post another play button

Loving all the fake love but the real stuff keeps me going away from the bankrupt

But they must stop abruptly, run up on a country

I’m straight up, I don’t play judge, but my day one is really gay company

That don’t change a thing

We still roll up and blaze

Not a thing to do today

So I write another page

I ain't focused on a wage

I just ramble bout my day

Then they see this kid can rage

So they fuck with him on stage

I’m confident that they enjoy

The words and beats that I deploy

Unto the world, every girl and boy

Take a layup man, it’s worth the points

I did that, now I’m self-employed

When I roll up, it’s a perfect joint

I don’t give a fuck if you’re first or fourth

Imma leave your ass with your work destroyed

But I orbit first

A sort of morbid version

Of some cordial verses

From a normal person

But before I’m certain

I’m just pointing hearses

In the right direction

With Hell’s door emerging

I’m recording first and then

I’m bored with serpents

We got some people

Thinking that the world is perfect

I adore the perks that

Are below the surface

Now I’m sure I’m learning

But a war is lurking

Bitch!


[Break]

Yeah

How was that?

Was that - was that better for you?

Yeah?

Alright

Nah, nah

I just wanted to double check with you

Make sure everything was up to, ya know

Your standards

(Sigh)

Finally
