Uh, yeah, so about this
I didn't really have a plan for this track
I just kinda wrote some shit
Some of it's about my life, but
Some of it's kinda fuckin' weird, but
What do you expect from me, though? Aye
All it takes is a spark like Jordan
And not a fire stoke
It started way back in gym class
I could never climb the rope, I thought
Is this a metaphor for how my life goes?
Will I grow? Is there some heights
I'll never reach unless I learn to fly, though?
Then the devil made an appearance
The fear was searing
Thank God my math teacher taught us
All the Pythagorean theorem
When I get out in the real world, I don't have a clue
What I'ma do, but I better keep makin'
Nineties like the hypotenuse
Got it, dude, is that all there really is?
Is this all we're really taught?
So then rap music became the only thing
That I really bought, my schoolwork tanked
But hip-hop filled the emptiness that's in me
I brought home a couple Fs
I guess my mom blamed it on Easy E
But I was more than just a fan
Parents just don't understand
I'm Mr. Goodbars, mom
I'm about to make a hundred grand
Son of Sam I am, I'm a killer rhymer
Dr. Seuss gave me all the tools
I need, I'm Mr. Hyde inside this boot
Just let me lose
I'm not gonna listen, the world is full
We all in competition
I'll be damned if I'm accepting second best as my position
Whatever I'm missing, please forgive me, little minions
I'm not avoiding contact
I'm just working on my vision
You gotta ride it out
All these life cycles
Went from BMX to buying DMX
And that was my cycle
Before that, I liked vinyls
And my grandma slapped me down
'Cause I broke her needles
Trying to make that record scratch and sound
Ruined some gospel albums
When she found them, I saw it in her face
I was Grandmaster Flash and Elvis singing Amazing Grace
She said reality is not a game
Like the amazing race
But in my mind it was halftime buzzer beater
It was make or break
Sitting on desktops making 808s
Freestyling over the hottest labels
Single instrumental tapes
I told my friends I'ma be a great
Allow me to demonstrate
Went and paid for studio time
But now nobody want my demo tape
Am I just arrogant and pompous
'Cause I promise I'ma make it
Even if it takes an act of congress
From that moment I begin to polish skills
Until the artist in me feels
That I've humbly completed all I can accomplish
To be honest
I'm not gonna listen, the world is full
We all in competition
I'll be damned if I'm accepting second best as my position
Whatever I'm missing
Please forgive me little minions
I'm not avoiding contact
I'm just working on my vision
