Adonis Reaper - Origins lyrics

{Verse 1 - Adonis Reaper} Yeah My foundation was the crime infested cold streets of Durban Hit the boulevard with my ni**a Wesley for protection Spat a couple raps & then he introduced me to some ni**as with a similar passion Troubled kid, got home at maybe 5pm Jus in time for Dragon Ball Z Now years later on the m-i-c, tryna a tell a vision Chasing dreams i saw on Television Outcasted for not following the 9-5 bullsh*t that we learn inside a class all day But that sh*t don't pay cos my grandpa been workin' since the 80s & he still ain't got no mansion with a pool Instead he in the hood I told him "don't stress, I'm gon get it for you" But enough about that Back to the point that i was tryna makе You don't need a diploma for you to be great The hard truth is that school is only for a chosеn few & rap is not for everybody And with that being said, don't go dropping out Stay in school, stay true to yourself cos only you can decide whatchu wanna do Told my momma "look ma i love you but I'm not doing something that's gon result in, me unhappy, glued to the desk all day Reporting to the white man" Please God let my dreams manifest (Please God let my dreams manifest) {Verse 2 - Adonis Reaper} Sometimes i really think about how lucky i was My peers in the hood are tryna get by, so they sell drugs Can't afford to see a therapist, so they get high Feel ashamed cos i left em all behind & made it to the city I should have brought em wimme But fu*k it man, I'm spitting the truth I'ma vessel for the hood Representing all the ni**as on the corner til' the dead presidents represent me Love me or hate me That sh*t don't break me Yeah Get my motivation from ni**as counting on me to make it And if one of us makes it, we all make it That's word to Konscious x, word to Bryan Ace Word to Savvy Drew, word to my crew Motherfu*k you, if you ain't got no positivity to spread yet you tryna bring us down Half ass clowns One Love if you stay holdin' us down, that's word to Ramsey Word to my ni**a Zinicks, chasing the figures Word to my ni**as Brandon & Didi, never too needy Only way to go is up, yeah we on now (Reaper)
