Had a tool, but didn't know how to use it
I was only seventeen when I started recording music
Put my back against the wall, got me thinking that I was useless
Until I kept improving, that's the only thing I'm doing
I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid
Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live
Rap saved me from everything that I did
You would understand if you live the life I live
Shit is getting old, gotta fake it to you make it
Working on my own and you know I had the patience
Talking on the phone with the bro and the maintenance
In different occasions, seeing different faces
When I was on the news for the kids who needed placement
Then was lied to, thought this shit was a vacation
Over seven years is a hell of a vacation
Underestimated, never told them my location
No one understood my struggle, so I moved in silence
Bottled all my anger and that anger turned to violence
Said I am adopted, how the hell that got you wildin?
Said "It must be difficult", well you don't know the challenge
Don't impress me, you can't test me
Got these bitches, got me riding on a jet-ski
I don't f*ck with y'all niggas, don't text me
Don't text me, don't you f*cking text me
Had a tool, but didn't know how to use it
I was only seventeen when I started recording music
Put my back against the wall, got me thinking that I was useless
Until I kept improving, that's the only thing I'm doing
I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid
Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live
Rap saved me from everything that I did
You would understand if you live the life I live
I be rapping all the time, there's nothing that's really new to me
Working hard and sooner than later I'll own my jewelry
Go another place now, this shit is never fooling me
I'm tired of the clown talk, nigga, stop the buffoonery
I'll tell you what?
Get off my line
Next time I'll come with the stick from Shanghai
Grah, grah, grah, drive-by
Grah, grah, grah, grah, shoot 'em in the eye
Had a tool, but didn't know how to use it
I was only seventeen when I started recording music
Put my back against the wall, got me thinking that I was useless
Until I kept improving, that's the only thing I'm doing
I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid
Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live
Rap saved me from everything that I did
You would understand if you live the life I live
I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid
