Child’s Play Lyrics by Studrique

The Upbringing

2015

Child's Play
By Studrique
Prod. by Ian Stocker

[Verse 1]

I'd rather be outstanding than insane
I'd rather be outlandish than contained
I'd rather be a monster than mundane
I'd rather beat me than Prefontaine
I'd rather be me than nobody
I'd rather have two friends than too many
Got weights on my chest
Just to prove to the best that I'm working hard so be ready
Little bit of Ernie and Rocky within
Humble and hungry like a fat kid
I don't need inherent merits from my parents
To show to the world who Enrique Vizcaino is
In this industry it's hard to be me
At school I stick out like loose teeth
Room full of Chinos gringos Filipinos
Only Latino you think it's hard to breathe
But naw I'm not married but I do commit
Noggin full of knowledge true grit and wit
Some say life's a bitch but life's a trip
You either run the rat race or get rich
Too good for Hollywood too nerd for hood
I would conform if I could but I can't
The reason spread through the room Hoobastank
Darkest white washed Mexican in Burbank
Ain't here to win, I came to compete
Meanest on the beat, in a scene I'm on the scene
Legendary like John give it all of me
Crush the pavement yea I run the streets
I'm too mature for my age
I seize the moment like a video game stage
Lately Monday's feel like Friday's
Because I learned to love myself I'm gay
Things can only get harder in life
I try to hide my doubts my thoughts my strife
That's why I try to focus on things I like and take my time

[Verse 2]

They say you start losing once you start winning
They say you start dying once you start living
I've been grinding outside all day with my "you know whats"
Smoking blunts, getting drunk, I sin 'cause it's fun
Just kidding, are you kidding? I ain't bout that
No beer but I do own a six pack
In fact I keep my health in tact
I've known to run act rap no doubt about that
Bounced back from the hands that fed my inhibitions
They wanna throw me tips at intermission
So dismissive I ain't tripping 'cause the critics
Are mad at the contender even when they chose to listen
Critical choices are made in short terms
Don't be stuck in the suburbs
Find a passion whatever gets you off your phone
If you end up alone, then you made it your own, yo
Influential? More like self indulgent
Rappers try to steal my spot like they own it
Wanna break me down? I wouldn't condone it
Cuz I got better grades than you & you know it
You can freestlye and fight melee
But can't touch my SAT or GPA
The only one above me is Gabe
Other than him you rappers sound the same
Your girl thinking 'bout me not from the skill but the will
That I have when I do things for the thrill of it
Like my heart's poured out spilling it
Your feelings bout me conflicted, man of steeling it
I walk like my name was Clark Kent
Put into full effect the dreams I once dreamt
People talk shit on the Internet
Verbal jab intercept
Mouse click left
I'm so far gone like Drake
Fuck fate I make me great
Not running for Marca's sake or Thatcher's sake
Not acting for Gardner's sake if that's the case
I wouldn't have myself first
Wearing someone else's shoes are the worst
That's why I lace mine every day
I swear this rap game is child's play
