[Intro]
Hey there
My name's Derek
I'm a rapper
I go by the name of RayD
You know most rappers write songs about money
A bunch of girls, their cars, whatever, I don't even know
The stuff I don't have
So I thought I'd write you a song, just about me
[Hook]
I am not like you, but we are not different
Someone from a distance
Come up and be just friends
Maybe you're like me, no different from each other
Loving one another
Tryna get the love heard
[Verse 1]
Check it, yo, I'm about to spit a sick rhyme
But I'm doing it for about the forty-fifth time
If I'm bound to quit, I'm guessing it's time
Cause I'm going out like an unlit sign
The only reason I do it is just to k** time
And if I don't get big I'm gonna still rhyme
If this hill is too big I'm gonna still climb it
Gonna make it before I commit a real crime
That's it, I ain't gotta say much more
I close my eyes shut like the front door
Take a seat, and I make a beat once more
I walk the walk but I don't know what I run for
I got a pa**ion for rappin' and that's a true fact
My only focus is forward, I never move back
And I wrote so many lyrics in a row that when I'm done
I could have had enough to be rhymin' on two tracks
[Pre-Hook]
"Dude that is probably the coolest
Room that I've ever seen how did you do that?"
I'm nervously telling 'em, "Screw that"
But then I hear my buddies sayin'
"Dude that is probably the coolest
Room that I've ever seen how did you do that?"
I work hard then it's like, "Who's that?"
True dat
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I remember my days in the crib
Dribblin' on my bib
Didn't know what I did
My life was just a fib
Listened to what you said
Fell down the steps and bled
Probably hit my head
Then downed a loaf of bread
With peanut bu*ter and jelly jam
Gave me bad belly cramps
Then I started sellin' stamps
And got an allowance
That's when I learned to dance
And stopped poopin' my pants
Then I started doing this
Been doing it ever since
Yup, and I've gotten pretty creative
As long as I love it, let the industry hate it
I hear people talking 'bout how Hip-Hop's outdated
But we need to be the generation that saves it
Uh, can we be the ones, so when the day comes
We forever will parade it?
This is our opportunity, so let's form a unity
And show them all we the bravest
[Pre-Hook]
