The Beginning Lyrics by Calico

Reflection

2024

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I’m about to go off, never gonna stop
I’m about to face off this beat
You’re gonna see what CALICO can do
'Cause it was meant to be, I’m the real MC
With the real energy, so expertly, double jeopardy
Triple intensity, I’m gonna make this whole crowd move
Every second week, focused on it every single day
I’m gonna really wanna find a way
I’m gonna not stop until I get it
I’m the real MC, I won’t stop or be so mean
I’m gonna wreck these stages, read back and you might get it
You can call me, "The outcast," I know that, fast past, blast cast
Never gonna care 'cause I’m going off
Call me the, "Main-gain-brain-chain"
I’m the one and only, never gonna happen never gonna stop
These haters think my music is so brain dead
So, let’s make it real, first song rapping and I’m destroying
Here’s my little spiel, "I might be so underground right now
But I am so underrated," call it the, "Rise of the Underdog, hah"
I am so aggravated, I am in for the fans
Let’s get hyped, lets make plans
Give me a vine and I’ll top it, just call me, "Tarzan"
I’m tryna do what they couldn’t do
Making a name in a middleschool, it will happen
God give me a miracle, give me a miracle
Yeah, and when I get famous, I will not be so mainstream (That's right)
My words are so powerful, they’ll call it morphine (Powerful, morphine)
Never be unseen, never be unclean, this is our theme, that’s how we scheme
They carry the fakeness, so, please just watch out
They’re in your corner, hyping you up
Then they leave as soon as you struggle
Like where are you now? (Gone)
I was there when you were down
But when I struggled you let me drown?
What’s that about? Yeah, I like being more real
Let’s talk about what people go through
That’s right, they wanna kill themselves
Believe it or not, but that’s what I went through
But now I am better, I know I can help you
Music is more than just listening to words
Music can help you understand and immerse
Some people struggle with depression
Some struggle with afflictions, some struggle with obsession
Some struggle with addictions, all people struggle believe it or not
No ,no one’s perfect, I will never be the same anymore
These lyrics are made with a purpose
I’m always putting different masks on
Acting like I’m always fine when I’m not
Talking to God like, “Why am I like this?”
In my room and I plot, everything that I’m not
But I give it all that I got, I have never been average (Average)
Put the pen to the pad and the plan has a plot
My flow is so quick, you would think it is racing
I’m over the fakeness, but I am still pacing
It’s making me nervous, the clouds are just raining
I’ll never be stopping, I’ll never be chasing
The things that are average, you’re always complaining
I’m hearing it always, your voice is so draining
Maintaining the people who think they are gaining
When that is not true, CALICO is now reigning

[Bridge]
You know, I wanna tell you a little bit about my life
My dad and dog died in 2015 when I was seven-years-old
My mentor, Peter, raised me ever since then
But he died just a couple weeks ago
I was suicidal in 2022, never thought I see a way through
But I’m still here, man, my nan died in 2022
My pop also died last year, but then I found self improvement
I found music, I started making music
I had and have haters to this day, but I know exactly where I’m headed
I’m coming out the other side, no matter what
I refuse to be weak, I refuse to average
You will never see someone like me ever again
I’m only fifteen, sure, but I will build a nation so powerful and great
Watch us grow, man, I can’t wait to see all of you on tour
I want to make my dad, my mentor, my pop, my nan, and my dog proud
And I will one day, I promise, I will never stop working
I will make you guys proud, watch me

[Verse 2]
That’s right, my life has so much meaning
I’m the prime example of what happens
When you don’t accept defeat and face these Demons
God puts his strongest soldiers through the hardest battles for a reason
I told Peter on his deathbed that, "I will make it"
I told him that this song is for him and I will face it
He squeezed my hand and now I know that I cannot escape it
This song is so much more than just words, I just can’t explain it

[Outro]
God tell me what I’m doing here, just tell me what I’m doing here
I don’t wanna live in any fear, just tell me what I’m doing here
God tell me what I’m doing here, just tell me what I’m doing here
I don’t wanna live in any fear, just tell me what I’m doing here
Just tell me, mmm, just tell me, I just wanna, I just wanna know why, yeah
So alone, yeah, I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it
