[Intro: Josh Smith]
Yo, it's really been a journey
Thanks for sticking with me till the end
Bring the beat in
I got one more song for y'all
Warning, this is a banger so
Make sure you don't go too crazy
I will not be held responsible for any turn up related d**hs
Too much paper work to worry about
And without any further ado
[Verse 1: Josh Smith]
My name is
J Smith like I'm Will's son, Josh Smith like the Piston
Last song I gotta make it count, make it count like Citizen
Like statistics, every line is calculated, premeditated
I'm so gifted, see the world like I'm autistic, my mindset is so different
Spit every verse like my last even though I'm not planning on stoppin'
My notebook so filled up, could mess around one day and decide to drop one
I'm young and I'm black so until I go platinum best watch for them coppers
I could say the wrong line or move at the wrong time and probably get bodied
I used to get buckets but found a new hobby
I used to just drizzle now I'm a tsunami
The fact of the matter is some people doubt me
Didn't think I can do it, now I'm the one laughing
I'm heaven sent
Striving for that one percent, working but to what extent?
The commitment and the time I spent just to
Put my thoughts onto paper and add in some flavor
Became the creator of my special savior
Recording my prayers and poems and scriptures
To beats and then verbally painting a picture
Birthed mixtures of songs and confessions and rhymes
Worked way overtime just to write up and to bind up
My story of life, in the booth melting mics
All while putting my whole intellect into light
And I'm gone
[Interlude: Josh Smith]
Alright this next part of the song is dedicated
To everyone that helped vocalize our stories
We gonna give some time to the features now
These guys really helped make the project what it is
So guys, come on over here
You guys got to go in on this beat
Two bars, I'll tell you when to go
[Verse 2: Josh Smith]
First of all, I'd like to say
Your feature game was tight
Here we go, to start us off
I'll pa** off the mic to… Jalen
[Verse 3: Jalen Montgomery]
Produce sh** for my bottom b**h
Got like four beats on the mixtape
Or maybe five man, I didn't count
We just rap, trap, eat, sleep, repeat
[Verse 4: Preston Corral]
[Verse 5: JP Silva]
[Verse 6: Mikey Nicosia]
[Verse 7: Ohsun Kwon]
Ohsun Kwon, don't get it wrong
All business, no play when doing songs
I'm going ape, nah, going Kong
I murdered this verse even though it ain't long
[Verse 8: Shayne Jones]
Alright k** it
k** the beat
Josh, you know I can't rap
[Verse 9: Josh Smith]
Alright I got you
Dropping j**els like the boy in STN MTN / Kauai
I'm bomb like I fell on Japan, Nagasaki
So open you probably know all about me
Spit real till I walk up to receive my Grammy
I'm gone
[Interlude II: Josh Smith]
Thanks fam, I appreciate it
Can you believe it's almost over?
This experience, done in such a short time
Don't worry though I got one more verse before I go
[Verse 10: Josh Smith]
Hop on the train
My dream is about to pull off from the station
Or bandwagon when
My music's getting played throughout the nation
Won't happen now I'll be patient
Need a tray, because I'm waiting
For them to notice my greatness
So I stay sizzling like bacon, uh
I'm going in crazy, man, nothing can phase me
I know I'ma get it, you know I'ma k** it
A modern day preacher, you know that my lyrics are always the realest, I spit it legitimate
(Bddddd-at) That's the sound of my mouth
Spit so hard I might pull Cali out of the drought
Went from studying tips, watching vids from Chris Kazi
To working, to putting my first project out
And I'm gone
[Outro I: Josh Smith]
Yeah how's that for an outro?
Once again and as always
Thank you for everything, guys
I truly appreciate your support
More stuff coming soon
Check out my website for more content
And, uh, yeah
I'm outta here
See ya
[Outro II: Young Thug]
And this is only beginning
