{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
