[Chorus]
Yo, you in the rap house welcome to the rap house
About 3 meters away from the crack house
You're trapped now you can't back out
Yeah it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
You in the rap house welcome to the rap house
Yeah, can't find a map out
You're trapped now you can't back out
I know it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
[Verse 1]
Boom boom boom who's that knocking at the door?
Oh it's you, come on in, I'll give you the tour
Listen close I'mma take you back in time
So you can know the beginnings of a mastermind
September 10th, 2001 my birthday
Best possible product of my parents in the worst way
Addictions coursing through my veins
My life ahead, predictions of pain
Then came 2020 COVID-19
I was 18 losing sight of my dreams
Had nothing to do we were all stuck inside
So I'd go out on rides listen to music and drive (uh huh)
Classic Hip-Hop and I started to vibe
Never hit stop, feelings I can't describe
Nodding to the beat resonating the words
Zoned out in the seat, but I knew every turn
Quickly got addicted started listening repeatedly
Swagged up a bit really started to believe in me
Everyday a new drug from a new plug
Hits so crazy, what a headrush
Can't go long without it or my head starts to get clouded (uh)
Weight breaking my body like a bone is poking out it
I itch and I twitch and my hands becoming shaky
Heart feeling unhealthy cause I ain't been running lately *gasp*
Shit it looks like something finally caught me on the hook
Resisted my whole life and yet one hit is all it took
Starting to get riskier and feel like upgrading
Been enough waiting, time for me to get to my creating
Let's go
[Chorus]
You in the rap house welcome to the rap house
About 3 meters away from the crack house
You're trapped now you can't back out
Yeah it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
You in the rap house welcome to the rap house
Yeah, can't find a map out
You're trapped now you can't back out
I know it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
[Verse 2]
Went from rap addict to a rap supplier
Selling raps to rap heads so they get higher
Never wanted to be a wanna be MC
But now it's nestled in my mind totally rent free
Damn, the hardest thing is doing what you gotta do
When there's something you wanna do and there's always a lot to do
I can't focus on school (naw), I can't be tied down
I just get around then I drop it on the ground
No it's not a fumble I'm just in a stumble
Tryna find my feet in this jumbled
Mess of life right now I'm distressed
This shit is more challenging than I woulda guessed
Putting out an album learning about this and that
The whole time a voice is telling me that "this is whack"
Took me so long just to write a whole song
Amount of times I'd look at it and say "it's so wrong"
Frustration annoys ya insecurities destroy ya
Questioning my flow and now I'm full of paranoia
Then when a beat starts and I speak bars
Cadence reach far rockin til I see stars, "he hard"
Makes me realize what a choice I made
Most the time it's great but I hate those grey days
I tried to get it off my mind and quit
But I wind up always coming back to it
Now I sing my songs hoping y'all will sing along
And if you were to ask me I would say that nothing's wrong
You wouldn't change a goddamn thing so why help?
Nobody can help, my greatest villain is myself
[Chorus]
You in the rap house welcome to the rap house
About 3 meters away from the crack house
You're trapped now you can't back out
Yeah it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
You in the rap house welcome to the rap house
Yeah, can't find a map out
You're trapped now you can't back out
I know it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
[Outro]
*Humming*
I know it's a bad habit I'm a rap addict
[End Sample]
He's an intelligent child and a very attractive one, what can be done?
We can say "oh this is just a phase he'll outgrow it"
Or we can recognize that he needs help
And that something can be done to help him
He's inclined to reject any authority or a limit set for him
