[Intro]
Blu.... (Uh)
Blu Spirit (Yo)
[Verse 1]
Remember y'all laughed when I said I was a rapper
She walked right past and she said I couldn't have her
Now I'm that same n***a she is running after
I'm nothing like my father, he left me to be a ba*tard
I used to smoke weed and felt I need the latest fashion
To fit in with other teens because the jeans I wore was average
I'm living my friend's dream, he laying in a casket
When I heard he died, man the pain was so tragic
I don't even understand what happened
I promise you, I'll do it, I'mma do this sh** Jura**ic
The music in my system, I swear I beat the system
I know they want me dead or in a prison, n***a listen
I will not forget them. I f**ing really mean it
I'mma ressurect your essence through the message til they see it
Just like a Phoenix, call me Black Jesus
I'm bout to turn you non-believers to believers
This is Ancient Egypt and I mean it
[Hook]
I gotta get my mind right
I gotta get my soul right
Before I'm in the lime light
Where everything is all hype
I'm tryna shine star bright
Since birth it was a hard life
I used to grind hard white
But now a n***a alright
It's my time that's why I'm writin' rhymes all night
Doin' everything to make sure my Mom's right
Hater's wanna politic like John Cartwright
You're the reason why on the mic I turn God-like
[Verse 2]
Wake up early in the morning, I'm recording
Seen the new Jordans but a n***a can't afford 'em
Stole 'em from my cousin and he caught me when I wore 'em
Threw a couple punches, blood from my nose pourin'
I just want acceptance from the other crews
Ain't have a big brother so I always stole my cousin's shoes
Hear a n***a murdered every time I turn on the news
Everybody cryin' soon as I step foot into school (This ain't cool)
Young dudes k**ing over nothing Cops handcuffing
Homie, you could stand for something
But you'd rather go out stuntin
Pulling strings like a puppet
Just to get a reputation doing what these n***as wanted
Now you facing life, You wish you could make it right
In a cell full of hell, will he ever see the light
He can't even sleep at night
Going back in time, in his mind, to rewind his mistakes
Took the Bullet out the nine
[Break] [x2]
I won't k** my kind
I won't do no crime
I just want another chance
But you gotta do the time
[Hook] [x2]
I gotta get my mind right
I gotta get my soul right
Before I'm in the lime light
Where everything is all hype
I'm tryna shine star bright
Since birth it was a hard life
I used to grind hard white
But now a n***a alright
It's my time that's why I'm writin' rhymes all night
Doin' everything to make sure my Mom's right
Hater's wanna politic like John Cartwright
You're the reason why on the mic I turn God-like
