Lemme introduce to you an average nobody who
At 25 decided to "I can do this rap shit too"
While body rockin head bobbin no "la di da di'n"
Just lolli poppin off with sickness as if this hobby
could really make him somebody
Who would likely blow up BANG BANG, no ouchie wally wally.
"olly olly oxen free,"
This hide and seek of fate reveals his destiny
Got the game locked and Hip hop is the key to settin him free.
And who knew? That a simple man without a clue or a crew
Possessed the skills to grab the mic and make it do what it do
Technically speaking his technique is Dr. Jekyll-ing
Potions evoking fairly ferocious linguistic laser beams!
In layman's terms that means LAMES can't even step to me
I run em over while on my way to my date with DESTINY
See in my lane there's no room for second guessin
Ain' t no question I keep pressin til' victory is in my possession
Could it be that I’ve got it all outta focus
If I adjust the lens will I get the picture and notice how truly hopeless this is
Like….Coke with no fizz, the product is DOPEness
But if it don’t got that “pop” it don’t make no sense
Hip-Hop a joke’s man, don’t get it twisted
I love it I just don’t know if I can make it a livin
I been at it for a second my dudes been in it a minute
Barely know what I'm doin yet I'm callin myself PROlific?
Actin like I’m gifted just cause' I’m rappin/wrappin it up like presents,
When most emcees been rappin since back in their adolescence
….I may be a little out of my element just a little bit
It might be better if I just decide to just stop and quit.
Then again what about the fact since I've been writin
It’s been flowin and I’m feelin so spiritually enlightened
The passion inside me gives me a rush and it’s so exciting
So God as my witness I’ma let this poetry ignite em like a FIRE
I’ma light up the stage when I’m performing
Let this music burn away all the doubt that lies before me
May not be easy but this is the path that I have chosen
Hustle everyday cause' straight to the top is where I'm goin
