[Verse 1: Packy]
I went from
Sneaking into Mom's car listening to Eminem
To getting pad and pen writing down bars then
It was Common then Kanye, Talib Kweli
Nas, Hov, Pac, Biggie and Andre
Gangstar, Big L, Duns put me on
I was catching up had to hear every damn song then
I heard some little brother
That sh** was genius to me
I never thought rap would mean this much to me now
Im on that new sh**
Tryin to be apart of it
New movement never forgetting the start of it
I remember scratching lyrics in my notebook
Matchin to beats and coming up wit a cold hook
For no reason I wasn't recording
I didn't want people to hear it wasn't important
Life inside the headphones it was safe
It was my world it was my place
Never thought I'd be this guy, not afraid to try
Not only will I take the stage I stage dive
Used to be shy, now I'm like why
They told me stay grounded now I'm like fly
Damn, remember the first show
Remember the first road trip
And the first choe
That was the days
Now its the Life
Music was the mistress
And I was the Wife
I want it like that
