My first line always came to me the hardest/
Til' a voice said, "start where your heart is"/
I start jottin', pretty soon I'm fillin' up the margins/
And next thing that ya know I got the song done/
And each one run about 10 pages/
8 of em' are scribbled out cuz all of my changes/
Never satisfied, a perfectionist/
Which is why I spend so much time correctin' shit/
And dissectin' it/
I'm the type to rarely talk about own shit 'til someone else mention it/
I dunno man, there's just sumpin' about the/
Face that they make when you tell 'em you a rapper/
It's like they got all these pre-conceived notions/
Thought that you would be a certain way, be braggadocios/
Like I'm gon' pull a brick out my back pocket/
Roll a spliff and go and light up in the back office/
Like I'm gonna a pull a heater out/
Load the clip right there while I'm swearin' an obscene amount/
I'm like damn man, I'm just like you/
I just use a pen and paper to express my views/And share my truths
Grade 8 was my first time/
I remember it so vivid when I wrote my first rhyme/
I was chillin' out with my friend Jason/
His Dad was a drummer, had em' set-up in the basement/
I was like, man this shit's so awesome/
I'm thinkin' we can start up a band, and can start tourin'/
Way premature and we were immature/
But that young love grew into sumpin' even more/
And here I am years later/
Still gonna give it a shot with no jager/
Still gonna do this/
And yeah they still lookin' at me crooked like, "Really man, you do rap music?"/
Well first off I don't "DO" rap music/
I make the shit, I write the shit, the pen just moves so fluid/
It's so easy for me, so easy buddy, I know you weren't tryna be rude/
But damn, give me credit dude/
Cuz it's a pain in the neck, Defending the shit,/
While dudes rock a chain on the neck, gaudy pendants and shit/)
And I get lumped in the genre/
So then I feel the need to explain the wider culture/
Then I feel the need to explain just so they listen/
Try to fix the image of rap that they envision/I tell em'
For every Waka Flocka, there's a J. Cole spittin'/
For e'y Soulja Boy there's a Nukky Grissom/Listen/
I put my whole life on the page/
I swear the shiT is like wine, gettin' better with age/And yeah
This my truth, and this my soul/
Don't like it? Kiss my boots and kiss my soles/
It's gettin' old, same jokes over and over/
So straighten up your hat and shake my hand like a grown-up/
