{Verse 1}

 I was a two thousand and two baby

What made me turn out to be booth crazy?

I just wanted to assert power and choose now that I’m due greatness

Inspired by people who took sounds to new stages

Zoom out on the truth quickly 

Let’s look at what made me 

Do rounds in the stu daily

Hell the sequel is what fell the needle

Tell the people I felt so evil 

When the cd wrapper came off 

And I see these rappers take off

Watching acapella battles learning how to whack a fella’s apple

Turned me into a pinpoint archer with salmonella raps to attack a better man

Getting claps from every hand in the front sides and in the back 

The room traffic ever jammed

Age 9 was making YouTube covers of double time raps 

School playground reciting worldwide choppers where the words fly off em

If I listen to different genres I’ll always stumble right back

{Hook}
The year I was born I was out of the loop 

Hearing the storm made me ask who now is the truth

I was construed to the new sounds I was glued

That’s what happened back in 2002

The year I was born I was out of the loop 

Hearing the storm made me ask who now is the truth

I was construed to the new sounds I was glued

That’s what happened back in 2002

{Verse 2}

I was dropping out of talent shows at youth clubs

Fear of being boo’d off the stage or laughed at close to the boot like a boot cut

Too much so I took my room and got sharp to fruit cut

Got art then moved up

How can I let a confidence knocker empty my posthumous locker

I used iTunes vouchers to buy new sounds of

The greatest out and study the patterns I noticed

Like they were down at the back of the sofas

Their names were in my house on the posters

Now I’m the closest I’ve ever been to crowning my own head

Salivating for the respect of my peers 

When am I gonna have some success in a year?

What do I get when I’m here? A pat on the back or just a compliment in my ear?

I expect to adhere to the rules of the game

This shit just called for my name when I balled up my pain it enthralled my whole brain 

I got addicted and took wind of it

Every bit of passion I have I put into this 

{Hook}

The year I was born I was out of the loop 

Hearing the storm made me ask who now is the truth

I was construed to the new sounds I was glued

That’s what happened back in 2002

The year I was born I was out of the loop 

Hearing the storm made me ask who now is the truth

I was construed to the new sounds I was glued

That’s what happened back in 2002

{Verse 3}

276 months later the newcomer ahead of these pricks on the drum breaks

I’m writing on my lunch break

Mic is just the feng shui

Rhyming till my lungs ache

Spraying like it’s bug spray

I was told this world is mine

But now I’m old it’s worth it’s time

I’m out the cold and worthless mine 

To being soulful words divine

I search for a purpose

Impressing myself when I’ve earned it

Progressing in health on the earth it’s

Essential that I practice daily 

My mental traffic’s crazy

Like tenfold I have been cagey

But I loosened up to craft movies like Patrick Swayze 

Drastic shift in my state of mind

Being real not plastic shit in an angels eyes 

Waste of time is chasing dimes double meaning that cases troubled feeling 

But my bubbles healing

Saving my creative mind before the end of my days in time

{Hook}

The year I was born I was out of the loop

The year I was born I was out of the loop 

Hearing the storm made me ask who now is the truth

I was construed to the new sounds I was glued

That’s what happened back in 2002
