[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It was all a dream, Watching the Grammys on the tv screen
Realized I wanted to rap at the age of 15
Moment for life need life to give me a moment
Swear once I get it I'm just gonna own it
Put me on stage put me on tour
I'll attack like an animal put on all fours
Cause I'm more anticipated then the night before Christmas
I promise you right now you don't wanna miss this
City on my back I'm gonna carry this thing the full way
These other boys is joke, they was born on april fools day
I've got a list it's only fair that I rank them
Starts with Kanye, can't wait to thank him
Then Wayne, Drake, Cole and Kendrick
Pac and Jay-Z, there's to many to mention
I've been studying the greats, I'm head bu*ting with the gates
People calling me the prez of the united states
I could care less if the beat drops I just want the seat drops
The beach shots, Instagram "look at what I eat" shots
Something fancy and expensive that I'll eat with a gold knife
Woman with an attitude or maybe just a bold wife
There is no summer break, I'm just chilling by the pool
Take it back to my 5th year attending school
The first person I heard rap was ludacris
I heard it on the radio, yo I am so new to this
Flew with this all the way out to P.A
Then I found Eminem and put his a** on reply
How come by the dirty dozen
Back when I was just the nerdy cousin
Sitting basement of my uncle's playing halo with my cousins
Ten years later on this track and I really start to buzzin
If you ain't part of my crew, might wanna align yourself
Cause it's a matter of time before I can't find myself
Cause in 8th grade I started rapping as a joke
Remixing songs for history that people thought were dope
And I did as a joke and had people laughin
I never thought career in music could actually happen
Then I heard the Nicki song of the third dedication
Parents drug tested me thought I was on that medication
But nah I was just addicted to a chance
To busy writing rhymes to go to the dance
That was the year I started to chase music
But I wasn't going to be one to abuse it
I was gonna use and spit a message like lupe
Don't care about the groupies, competition who they?
Soph*more I kept writing rhymes
But as kid who only saw dollar signs
Rhymes were simple, people still liked em
People were surprised that I typed em
And finally I wrote a remix to runaway by ludacris
But at this point I could say that I was not new to this
I was my first good song it's a funny full circle
High school I was the kid that always rocked purple
After the song I started getting better
Remix closer to a song about a girl in a sweater
With a heart and if there is somewhere to start it would be there
Nick Steele for president I soon would declare
And then junior year scotty started rapping
I guess you could call it that but people thought that he snapping
And I couldn't believe that people couldn't see me
So then I decided to make a CD
So I spent hours and hours blowing off a**ignment
Telling my Mr. B "Aye don't bother to a**ign this"
Nah just playing I really worked my a** off
3 years later I saw my dreams blast off
Cause I did something great don't keep it on the down low
My album got just over 500 downloads
And seeing how my audience is just media
It means my album went around the world Expedia
500 downloads? I don't have that many friends!
I think it's cause I'm not one of those rappers who pretends
That I'm doing things I'm not or making threats against your living
People heard the album like dude you're really spitting
I'm always been different give my early stuff a listen
And my mission is just to prove I'm a musician
Put on for my city I'm a raisin in the sun
I'm just out here crazing havin fun
Amazing that I've come, back with so much confidence
Dropped an album and the world I feel on top of it
Feel like I accomplished it, something I set out to do
My best friend texted me and said “I am so proud of you”
And that right there was the best feeling in the universe
Ain't no break, this track is just my universe
This is just my galaxy, nas said the world is yours
Steelematic, Steele at it, till I'm on the world tours
While the world snores, I'm still putting work in
Give me another beat so I can start merkin
I'm out here shining bright like a diamond
Nobody in my city better then me at rhyming
This is my timing, my moment 4 life
I'm shining when I smile I'll be golden 4 life
Cather in the rye I'm holden 4 life
I'm gonna be the greatest, I told em, 4 life
Any one who doubted, should of never doubted me
My best friend said she was motherf**ing proud of me
Had to repeat that, got so happy I bezerked
I just wanted to inspire, man I think it worked
Any one who doubted, should of never doubted me
My best friend said she was motherf**ing proud of me
Had to repeat that, got so happy I bezerked
I just wanted to inspire, man I think it worked
