lyrics

It started off in sixth grade when I turn to rap
As I recall I don't remember me turning back
I prove them wrong when they said that I was fucking wack
I've even spit some shit that made people come give me dap
Now let me see, how exactly does this story go?
I started off, yo, rapping as a juggalo
And I thought I was bad with my pencil and my pad
Jotting horrorcore bars in the back of science class
And other rappers at my school, they would give me shit
Telling me I was "too white" to be a lyricist
It was automatic how quick they created static
But inaccurate 'cause I'm actually Hispanic
I never let their hate convert into discouragement
I said fuck'em all and made me rapping permanent
No beats, I had no mic, or way to record what I'd write
But I had some rhymes that every night, I'd recite
Staring in the mirror that was in my room pretending I'm playing a show
Rocking the fuck right up out of that crowd while spitting in a microphone
Telling myself that I'm really going to make it that I got potential
So all I really need is a rapping habit and [I'm] never gonna let that go

'Cause hip-hop is all I got
Not concerned with the top I just learned not to stop and it
Might not seem like a whole lot
But this hip-hop Is all I got

I switched my name, I had a crew, but I took a solo route
This was about the same time high school came around
Still, there were things that I felt I had to straighten out
So I started working on developing a better sound
Before I knew it I advanced in what I wrote down
And everything I wrote then became a bit profound
I had a couple friends who were down and wanted in
So we made a pact that to this day we're still honoring
From UGS to Manifest we must have just progressed, I guess
We tried our best and never rested every second never less
Soon after that, I recorded my first track
I was so mesmerized when I first heard me rap
But something was still missing that the engineer saw
So he taught me all about and how to organize bars
Then after that it was on, or so I recall
I've been on a campaign steady trying to change the world

None for the money, one for the show
Two for that #GU now here we go

And so the moral of the story is no matter what
Never let anything keep you from what you really want
Keep your eye on the prize and go right up front
And capture what you after like you know it ain't going undone
And once you did it you know that you stayed committed
To the path that you've chosen no matter the road in distance
You can get this depending on your persistence
That's what I did and [have] been loving it ever since then
