Born Like This Lyrics by Keybone

Going Pro, Vol. 1

2015

[Intro: Stizzle]

Hey, these are the days and times
When people get away with crime
A bearer has been born and about to be reborn
Put him on, hehehe Put him on!


[Verse 1: Keybone]
Papa and Mama met, all for y'all to see magic
You got to see more when you look at it
I'm finding me everyday till I'm good at it
I tell myself before you do, so I know too
When you are complimenting, I know it's so true
At a younger age, Mama would be like "I told you"
But on another page, I sag a little
Papa told me " Son, be civil", but I brag a little
About being a Nigerian, growing up in the cities
And showing all who were with us through the struggle and hurdles
It's a new us, that baffles those who knew us
For you and yours, after you have labored, stay prayerful
I meditate on the laws, so as I journey through this dreaded path
It's a plus for where I'm headed at
My first birth certificate, I shredded that
The game has been taken by me, I wedded that


[Chorus: Keybone]
I was born like this
But I had to be reborn like this
Otherwise, I will just be one like he is
Since I can't be him, I'm all there is


[Verse 2: Keybone]
I was born in the AM, by night, there was mayhem, by right, I will slay them
Way them that have been thinking they are deep with it
Claims loving music like they sleep with it
If you ever tell a lie, try to stick with it, did you get it?
Everything is seen from how you look at it
You can call it a game, I'm trying to be a crook at it
There's nothing wrong with being me
Ask a few amongst the people that have probably seen me
I'm always fly, with little or no bling-bling
I'm all about the work, I'm here to rap and sing-sing
Be careful haters, cos I will also swing slings
Keep my name out of your mouth, you will be in peace
If my name ever slips out of your mouth, you will be diseased
I'm all about the biz, no time for violence, nothing but platinums and diamonds
I'm doing this all day, I ain't retiring
After foreplay, it's sure I'm firing


[Chorus: Keybone]
I was born like this
But I had to be reborn like this
Otherwise, I will just be one like he is
Since I can't be him, I'm all there is


[Verse 3: Keybone]
Well, I'm of one of those without a silver spoon
Shout out to my loved ones, I will see y'all soon
I'm over the moon, I'm on to reign, we are not the same
I am ill, not insane, I can feel it in my brain and veins
I may never be like Romeo, at least for now, lets say your oreo
Shawty is inspired by my glory though
She like the way the story goes
He's a dreamer, he's creamer, rides in a Benz and Beamer
Some of his friends seem seemer
It's got to be the stardom, not really the bars storm
The outcome led me to dropping an album
To keep the streets serenaded cos it's been jaded by wack MCs
Can somebody tell somebody else the boss is back
Everyone of you should watch your plaques
Imma take them and break them
These bars I disperse on this beat, let it shake them and ache them


{Chorus: Keybone]
I was born like this
But I had to be reborn like this
Otherwise, I will just be one like he is
Since I can't be him, I'm all there is
