Me and My Music

(Verse 1)

How they gon tell me I wasn’t meant for this
Man, I swear I was made to make music
Ever since I was an infant, it’s
Just something I feel in my soul
I wake up feeling like it’s what I gotta do
I gotta reach my goals
I was 8 years old
Just chillin’ at my auntie house
Glued to the television
Didn’t plan on going out
Watching music videos
Killing Me Softly
Remember when it debuted
With Lauryn and her crew
She was singing her heart out
One of those vivid images
I play when reminiscing
Back when I was only wishing
To make it to that position
Now I’m making my own
I’m feeling closer than ever
With visions to take the throne
So that’s what I’ve been after
Writing another chapter
Made it through middle school
Through ridicule and laughter
Imagine my teacher’s face
When her honor role student
Who could be anything
Said he wanna be a rapper

(Verse 2)

Fast forward to high school
New place, new city
We had moved uptown
Like the ‘92 Diddy
Walking down a hallway
Where all the girls looked pretty
In my XL coat
Had me looking like Biggie
Naw really
Somebody found out that I be rapping
Told me I should battle this dude
They say that he be snapping
Just imagine how I arrogantly told ‘em get his weight up
Then started spitting, messed up prewrittens
And I got ate up
No longer was a hater
Swear just the other day
Me and him was kicking it
Reminiscing bout that day
Or back in 11th grade
Spring Break ‘05
Used to get the fresh fade
Hit the mall with my guys
Copping fits for the talent show
Recording in the basement
I swear, that year, we thought we all was gon make it
It didn’t happen then
But I never lost my mission
I’ma do it
I just need the world to listen

(Verse 3)

While these others dream for the cream
And visions to bring the drop out
I’m rapping for the passion
Not looking for a cop-out
This has been a part of me
The artistry
Hopping on the bus to college classes
Bumping the College Dropout
And reading my blueprint
The top is what I’m eyeing
These other youngins
Hoping just to get rich or die tryin’
I do this because it’s meant for me
Give you the documentary
Of my life
And how I just wanna be a part of history
No mystery
They sayin’ they don’t feel boy
Man, they should go shoot a boombox
And kill that noise
I pour my heart into these records
And I just want ‘em to sing those
They mad cuz every song on my album could be they single
So will I stop? Never
Forever, this here is infinite
Got me feeling like Marshall Mathers way back in ‘96
I hope God will send my blessing from the sky
To be a music legend before I die
So tell me why…
