[Verse 1]
Look, I started from scratch, recording on my phone
Sitting at home, writing off the top of my dome
Talked about how my life been, not afraid to grip the chrome
Running from my problems like I ain't going home
But on some real sh**, I haven't had the nicest life
So many things I wanted to do but gave it up as a sacrifice
I just wanted some songs that were dope and blasted nice
Every time the base dropped, I would Sit and laugh at night
'Cause I knew that I found it
I sounded so astounded
Paper started stacking, late night I was countin'
Listening to my song, not liking how it sounded
Started making money for the studio all around and
I thought I could do it
I thought I loved music
But then my parents came along, and my money they would Screw with
Every dime I earned
Every thing I learned
How to do, pushing through, looked at them, then I just turned, away
Didn't want to stay
'Cause I'd get punished for every word that I would say
So I laid
Every night without pay
And wondering if I'm ever gonna make it
So many nights when it was cold, and could never find a blanket
'Cause they took it, they were cold
Not thinking about their son who is all skin and bones
Not thinking of their kid who is only 7 years old
Not thinking about the child, who actually knows
What's going on at home, bills aren't getting paid
No running water, no gas to help spark a flame
No electric, to cold to go out and play
Only raw Ramen noodles, and maybe a way
That I could prevent this, so I headed out
Started selling pot, no snitch I closed my mouth
Didn't tell my Momma didn't want her to find out
That I have became my dads son, I'm crying now
Who lying now
I did this rap sh** all on my own
Only had one person to push me and he was grown
That guy was the reason ma went and cheated on
My pops the reason I'm ripping the microphone
He kept pushing me, "ayo can you freestyle"
He hit the beat and I followed up man we was wild
Decided to make my rap name CJLilez
Only 12 years of age spitting dope sh** while I'm a child
Without music, I'd be a hood rat
The sh** I went through, I'm surprised I out stood that
When I hit the beat? Well I guess it is good that
I have a story to tell, and rappers I can say I shook that
I'm a freshman, and I already have a story to tell
People are just like weed, you can tell by the smell
I'm getting high and I haven't inhaled
Its just so much fire I breathe, its when I exhale
I'm doing this sh**, whether you like it or not
That means if I say I got your girl, she offering top
If y'all keep talking sh** Imma make the AK go pop
Only 1 toe to go, and I ain't gonna stop
This last toes is me
I'm the best that they'll ever be
I'll be so far on the top no one could even see
Rest in peace
On my knees
Begging please
For the lord to come and tell me
That I did it, I found my outlet, this brung the best out me
I've finally did it
I was crying cause I wouldn't miss it
The days were long but not explicit
When I wasn't spittin'
Everybody got me pinned and expect me to tap out in submission
But on my ten toes, standing tall, Imma win it
And if you don't get it
Then get outta my way cause this goal is mine
I've worked hard at this game, if you pa** by
Don't hang high
No one gonna get those
Couldn't stand, without my ten toes.....
