[Verse 1]
I was just a backpack rapper
Backpack of Krylons fat caps

Slab of concrete that I would write on
Eight grade when Triumph came out
And I'm like: "Hey mom can I skip school? I can't even wait!" "Nah!"

13 years later praise God I just got DM by Raekwon
And he wants me up on the same song
And that Meth's pissed off for doing the crowd walk

But it wasn't nothing that we squashed it nah
I'm from the city Nirvana where that mosh pit started
[?] Kool Herc started

That doesn't mean that I won't kill the beat and be a martyr
Aspestos with pencils my pens choke as coffins
West Coast success toast Seattle down to Compton

What does it say about America that I became a millionaire
Between kicks and snares and couldn't get in to college
Aight switch topics

I don't walk I get piggybacks on Action Bronson
Show up at Em's crib with the split of vodka
Hit up Mac Miller relapse and celebrate kwanzaa

On behalf of us white rappers
I think it's a fact that yes we have appropriated culture
It's just race let's talk not make it awkward

I wrote a song about thrift shop's
I never thought it would ever get a spin radio did its thing
And all of sudden the song popped up and got popular

Would that have happen if I wouldn't be a cracker?
Sold 6 millie does skin tone really matter?
We live in America land of gimmicks and ladders

And did I go climb it !@$( of course race was a factor
But (*##$ I'm a B-boy and I put that beat in the casket
Listen to The Heist man we almost made a classic

You gon' agree that's vantastic
Take away Thrift Shop and can't hold us going platinum
9 times alright fine

But I made it uncool for kids to say "!@$)got"
I got rich and I didn't go buy a mansion
Gave away 200K to the homies that didn't have it

And when I fall off and the second album flops
And turn into Vanilla Ice wait that's never gonna happen
