[Verse 1: Jimanni]
You know, you know, yeah, It all started in high school, came up with a verse and everybody in class reacted to it like cool
Nigga do your thing, maybe someday you'll probably get a chance to do it on a bigger stage, type of shit that motivates
I couldn't wait to graduate, so I started to concentrate, practicing night and day, never took a holiday
Fast forward 2015 I dropped my first song
I was really overwhelmed by the response
Cause people I thought were never watching me
Was out there praising and applauding me, told me they were proud of me
At that point I knew I had to take this shit seriously
Had a nigga feeling ready for the industry
20damn17, first tape dropped
All the feedback and comments on the first day shocked me
I just thought it wasn't real more like it was a setup
I was finally popping, felt special than ever
Type of shit to make you give a testimony in church
Cause man I never thought that people could relate to my words
Now they finally do, I was pretty damn sure I had something to prove, had to make em understand I was really the truth, don't you get it confused
Now it's 2018, had to make another statement, felt like I could change things, tired of these artists who be always on the same shit
I just wanted to seal my place, dropped two more tapes the same month, that was april, even though I wasn't really stable at the time
Still had it on my mind to make a difference, only If they would listen to the messages encoded, someday they would quote it and point at my pictures
Like yo this nigga wrote it damn I was so lit
Gradually I was getting attention in abundance
9teen dropped and I was doing crazy numbers
Every major conversation had my name in it
Nobody could tell me shit cause in my mind I was winning
In my mind I was Young nigga doing big bidness
Had a taste of the sauce now I'm fucking lost in it
December 16, love & war dropped now we're back on the scene
Me and Kel made a classic as a superstar team
Had the noisy neighbors with me, together we chased dreams
It's 2019 and I'm caught up in some hardship
Noticed that I gradually became the starving artist
Kept it going regardless, determined I was gonna
Finish everything we started
Looking back i know we made progress by a large margin
I just wish I never got myself involved in the street shit
Wonder how the hell I got caught up in all that beef shit
I Noticed that some people started looking at me
Differently
Told me I was arrogant damn you must be kidding me
Cause I was only tryna tell em that I'm still the man
But the truth is most people didn't understand and I blame myself for selling the wrong image
It was okay to brag but I shouldn't have crossed limits
September 6th I dropped the sixth mixtape 'N3W SCHL GNGSTR'
Had hope that through it, my prayers would get answered
Just wanted to be sure I hadn't wasted all my chances
Few weeks later I met with Terry Tha Rapman
On and off the music I really respect that man
He taught me that it's not always about being talented
And what's more important is how you deal with the challenges
Picked up myself one day and did a video
Everybody loved it but I Thought that it was silly tho
Next day, woke up and it's popping on twitter
Funny thing is, just last night I wanted to give up
That was such a relief, I could finally breathe
All these haters on my back, they gone really believe
I'm truly special and I've always had the fire in me
It's 2020 at last, disappeared for a while just to work on my craft, i got a reason for that, had to change a couple things, make peace with the past, I'm much better now and I'm only speaking on facts
Know a lot of people wonder who the hell is this guy?
Never said that I was perfect, I do nothing but try
I'm a fucking real nigga who can never disguise
I got a lot on mind but I'm just young and ambitious know I'm destined to shine and for now I ain't rushing I'm just taking my time I got it!
