Blank CDs & Paper Sleeves Lyrics by Mi-T (Green Mike)

2019

[Intro - Mi-T]:
Blank CDs and paper sleeves, with a green marker spellin' out my name
(Mi-T)
[Verse 1 - Mi-T]:
I used to walk around town with a backpack on (yeah)
Ramen noodles and a "Rock Band" microphone
Laptop, pair of headphones, blown-out speakers (what else?)
Two outfits, and some tore-up sneakers
I been creative since my lil' hands could squeeze
I wrote my first 16 before I turned 16 (uh-huh)
My first pop filter was a window screen
If you remember "King Status", then you been known Green
I recorded my first mixtape at Big Mac's house
Never did no second-guessin', I ain't with that doubt
When I'm rappin', they say "Green, why you get that loud?"
I had to swallow my pride for me to spit that proud (for real)
So now I'm the man cause I fought to be him (man)
What if I let you borrow the beat that he did? (come on)
Who would you be if you were on the remix?
I don't think you'd be as tall standin' next to me, kid
(Green)
[Hook - Mi-T]:
Blank CDs and paper sleeves with a green marker spellin' out my name (Mi-T)
When I first started off, people told me
"Knock it off, you ain't never gonna win in this game"
I said blank CDs and paper sleeves, now the whole city knows my name (Mi-T)
I ain't had a whole lot, but I swore I'd never stop
Now I'm still here today
[Verse 2 - Mi-T]:
A lot of my music is me braggin' (good)
'Cause for so many years, I was misunderstood
It took all of my effort to become one of the greatest
So now that I did it, you can bet that I'm'a say it
I'm a go-getter, I got no limit, I am so with it
Bros with me on the road gettin' to the gold
Soul never gettin' sold they could not afford it
I'm cold when I'm in my zone, you ain't even close
I done came a long way and got a long way to go (go)
Everything I do is in pursuit of my goals
The money is secondary, but there's some people that I owe
For helpin' me to keep it goin' when my life was at a low (let's go)
So now I'm the man cause they pulled me from sinkin'
When I was in way over my head in the deep end (for real)
I can breathe again, so I exhale bars about overcoming
And melodies about following your heart
(Come on)
[Hook - Mi-T]:
Blank CDs and paper sleeves with a green marker spellin' out my name (Mi-T)
When I first started off, people told me
"Knock it off, you ain't never gonna win in this game"
I said blank CDs and paper sleeves, now the whole city knows my name (Mi-T)
I ain't had a whole lot, but I swore I'd never stop
Now I'm still here today, I'm still here today
[Scratch Outro - DJ Dacick 1]:
I used to walk around town with a backpack on (green)
Walk-walk-walk-walk around tow-
Town-town-town with a backpack
Ramen noodles and a "Rock Band" microphone
I recorded my first mi-mi-mix-mixtape at
Bi-Big Mac's house (come on)
Two-oo-two-t-two outfits and some tore-up sneakers (go)
I had to swal-swal-swallow-swallow my pride
