Made a choice
I decided that its time to rap
I got a talent and a passion
Why am I holdin back?
I just figured that these motherf*ckers never would accept me
And would probably laugh
If I told them that I had tracks
If I told them that I kick raps
On my down time at the pad
I barely understand myself
So I was scared they wouldn’t get that screaming at a mic helps me relax
But no longer livin fear driven
I got a gift, and its worth givin
Almost quit before I started missed a mean livin
But more important, almost missed a chance to be voice for generations
Maybe words and thoughts could fix a damned nation
Almost
Almost
Didn’t make it but
Almost
Doesn’t count
Nah no
Ima change the rules
Making moves
I’m on the move
All my goals got checks next to em
All my folks got checks to spend too
Almost never made it out
But almost never ever counts
Made a choice
Now im so deep in the pad
Took a lot to be here aint no way im goin back
Aint no way im holdin back
Boy genuis, I should be up in the lab
So, that is where im at
Im the dude in all black
Laptop full of raps
Louis pack on my back
Guess im back-packing rap
Be the kid to put boom bap back into rap
I know im startin from the bottom
Gotta earn my respect, and im cool with that
Already paid I aint in it for a check
Operation disinfect the rap game in effect
Leave your core fans, thinkin that you nameless
Screaming cody, cause they know me on a first name basis
Almost
Didn’t make it but
Almost
Doesn’t count
Nah no
Ima change the rules
Making moves
I’m on the move
All my goals got checks next to em
All my folks got checks to spend too
Almost never made it out
But almost never ever counts
Almost
Didn’t make it but
Almost
Doesn’t count
Nah no
Ima change the rules
Making moves
I’m on the move
All my goals got checks next to em
All my folks got checks to spend too
Almost never made it out
But almost never ever counts
