[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

[Verse]

Sometimes I often think about the days I used to fuck up

Pocket full of pingers, Alizé to fill the cup up

Spit a couple bars on instrumentals till the sun up

Never thought we'd get to here a youngin on the come up

I was ten years old when I wrote that first rap

Inspired by the greats like Eazy E and Tupac

Talkin' 'bout some hoes and how we ride in Cadillacs

Shit, I ain't know what all the meant, but I just knew that shit slaps

So I learnt to get my flow on, beats I used to throw on

Learnt that I could talk my shit, the poetry and so on

Did it for the love, I never thought I'd get my dough on

Never thought this industry was something I could grow on

But I made this shit a passion, daily with the rappin'

Dead rappers in my ear was like the genie to Aladdin

Granting every wish, I fantasised what coulda happened

Young fulla with a dream like I gotta get it crackin'

I was only fourteen when I hit my first studio sesh

And from that moment, man, I had to progress

To compete with the best

With every beat, I spit a verse from the chest

There ain't no rapper that compare to me yet

Take the time to reflect

Old habits that I had to reject

Was getting harder for myself to neglect

I had to keep 'em in check

Lotta shit they ain't talked 'bout yet

So let me get into this story in depth

And yo, let me take 'em back

To where this story began

Little Jody, cousin Cody, and their best friend Ben

2019, when my name first rang

And man I'd hate to see that moment again

'Cause shit got tough

I thought that all the love was enough

But through these eyes, they couldn't tell I was fucked

See, I was running a muck

Wasn't seen without a drink in my cup

Man, I was looking for a way to get up

But I was slowly on the road to becoming like my father

Daughter on the way, I wish I coulda been smarter

Pressure with this music shit was tearing me apart

I had to change my life around 'cause all my days were getting darker

Just a youngin with a passion, I ain't think that I deserve it

All my fuckin' life, I never thought that I was worth it

Now they pulling me up in the street wanting pictures with their peeps

Yelling out like, "Kobie Dee, my bra, you perfect" (Fuck)

Bruh, if only you knew

All the shit I had to change to see the person you do

A lot of people wouldn't last to walk a day in my shoes

So, now I'm grateful for the life that I choose

I was only twenty-one when I had my first child

Twenty-two in rehab it changed my whole life

Now these little fullas asking me about advice

That's the reason why I gotta plant seeds when I write

See, now I'm twenty-six and my life's a little different

Just had a son, now this change is persistent

Think about the past and how it seems so distant

But one quick mistake could take me back in an instant, huh

[Outro]

Yeah

I said I think about the past and how it seems so distant

But one quick mistake could take me back in an instant
