Ayo I decided to take a walk in the rain,
to get a couple things off of the brain
yo this world is insane sometimes
it feels like this shit just can't be real life,
more like a film and i just didn't get the script right and you don't get a second chance
when the lens is on so all performance errors
you make u gotta live with all, I've made enough
to never get an oscar nom from the voters poll
living on this supposedly golden globe,
where so many have sold they soul
for a piece of paper, and many more have lost their hearts to a piece of nature,
I fall more in the latter category
and if I had to rap my story to you
It would start at the age of 16 when I was
just a creature thinking major bout this wish/dream
of mine to hold a mic and get a pay stub
thinking imma be the illest cat to ever grace the
cover of the mags and moms could finally quit
her day job, but little did I know that things would take a different turn, I was naive to it all simply
chasing what I yearned, I was a kid playing with fire
i had to get some burns before I put them matches down the only way I was gon learn,
was to experience the heartaches and heartbreaks
this art takes us on while we drive till our car breaks
now some chose to speed but keep your feet
on your car brakes because nothing is ensured
and it's hard to make it in all states,
especially when no one believes in your faith
and all u here is you can't, and even those who say you can want you to be what you ain't,
The art galleries ain't accepting the pictures you paint, because they ain't feeling the direction of that
in which you aim, and all you wanna do is share
these stories in your soul,
and you know this music shit the only way
they can be told, your standing year after year
steady getting older and everything about the world around you getting colder plus you moving
home to home feeling all alone
and from auntie to moms house
so that means different schools and
you try to make friends but u become the loner,
because you don't get to see these people
for no more then four months, it gets so rough
I swear as I was growing up I always thought
that everything gets better as a growner up
but I was wrong cus what you think Is easy
as a young folk only amplifies in time
and gets hard as fuck and look at me
I had to mess around and fall in love
wasn't trying but the lady had me from her first step
I could barely catch my first breathe
to say something to her it was such a struggle
just to finally get those words out
but yo it worked out the conversation
felt like sure shots from cupid with his bow and arrow to insert love, and at our first touch
I knew she was the one for me
we drove that car as far as we could take it
before it turned off, and as I search on
for something more in this world
I think about everything I learned from that girl,
and every twist and turn that has occurred on this trail, and every single scar that I have earned as I've lived, it's been a long long journey but I'm still here,
along with my mother and brother yo they still here, shout out to best friends h-cho and reb
we all in the same war and yo we will win
