[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.....
