Now
If I ain't know no better
I could have been sucked right up into the setup

But I kept my head up
And every time I fell I would get up
See I don't need no nines and Berettas

I kill with the lines and the letters with the verbs and the nouns
Just a kid trying get his sound heard around
Jump into cyphers and keep the old timers astounded

They said he was the best in the surroundance
Cause everyone around him was drowinin'
In the fair one, no one son could pound him

With the lyrics, you pray you hear it
They say his bad hood couldn't match his good spirit
And one day his mom and dad will be cheerin' to his grammy nomination

And proclamation to his world domination
Inauguration into greatness
From making rations to cakin'

2 AM and he be up like attic
He's an addict, alarm clock pop, he back at it
Barely got any sleep

But, he gotta eat
Cause ain't %#@! cheap and his soul/sole torned out of feet
He got dreams, but don't plan on sleeping until he reach 'em

Until you out feastin', paying houses where you sleep in
Until his album ready and his fans get it leaking just for sneak peaks and
Until then, his home is the booth

He spittin' to the plaque it's poof off his tooth
Like Hocus Pocus
Or word he's too focused

You should quote it
His goal is the denial that he wrote it
Flowin' like oceans and menstruals

Ink from the pen, lies within my credentials
They told me that I could be mental
But mommma always said that I was special

Haters tell me I should stop
My enemies tryin' see me in the box
So the streets tell me to cop a Glock and pop it

But something down deep tells me I'm the next prophet
Like the new Muhammad or the new Marcus Garvey
Or probably, it makes sense why I'm so heavily guarded

Wait, no, please restart it
I'm heavenly guarded, it's the golden child and for a while
God been looking down with a smile

Watchin' me prosper
Attackin' with the raps and then conquer
The junior Frank Sinatra, rapping out the Opera

You should spectate in the booth with a suit and binoculars
Like ^!$$% its a honor, it's mother$#&@in' honor
