(Intro)
If you made it this far into the tape, I wanna just say thanks
(Verse 1)
Visualize, you living life they way that you truly want
If it's embedded in your heart, you gotta know where to start
They say I'll never be successful, y'all can stop with all that nonsense
Is it doubt or jealousy that's knockin on your conscience?
Don't like my songs? Oh, well y'all ain't gotta listen
But it's only fair to warn you there's a lot you're gone be missing
All you empty-headed hype-beasts, brainless bandwagons
I knew hip-hop was for me soon as I tuned to Marshall Mathers
My parents were never fond of my new taste for music
But that didn't stop me, still I went out and bought The Blueprint
Shook the whole trailer park with Pac playing on my speakers. Blasting Biggie, the old school will always be in season
Music got me through a lot, even when my soul was screaming. Proving myself to myself is the one and only reason I do what I do
That's why I'ma stand proud
If you want your voice to be heard then you gotta make it loud
Around two years ago, my peers were so different from me. I made a choice
No more of that shy guy sh**, now I be making noise
People need to listen and hear my story they never knew
Existed. But it's twisted and lonely when I ain't have the crew
And they will one day, but for now I'm looking forward
To my future's where I'm headed, I'm taking the world by storm and
All these visions in my head
They show me right where my story's going
I'm seeing myself on a stage and a crowd, they're screaming "Rory!"
I want to k** this sh**, be on somebody's top 5
But I'm a kid and sh**, so I'll wait till the stars align
Then when my sk**s are sharp enough, I'll have to wait no more
Say what you want about now, cause then you'll say no more
As for everyone who's watching me as I rise, I won't fall
I promise. This is only the beginning of my master plan, my protocol
My only fault is that I'm lacking a bigger audience
Yet I still got a couple loyal friends always applauding
Everything song that I write
Every dream that I have at night
Inspires me to keep going
Get on a mic and keep flowing
My future's bright I'll do this right, I'm gonna make stadiums scream
One day I'll make it a reality I'll tell 'em "It was all a dream"
(Verse 2)
I want to give my mother the house and the things she's always wanted
My father's gonna get repaid for the way I was brought up
I want to tell my story, the one of the son of immigrants
The only one they have, who not only raps but k**s the sh**
I want to show my future son that he accomplish anything
I want a little girl to spoil. I'll give them both everything
My parents wanted for me. That's why I gotta work hard
That's why I let my pa**ion burn, itching to make some good songs
Unlike these other rappers, I don't even want to fit in
It's rare to understand my vision, it's vivid and twisted
My future's bright, I'll do this right. I'm gonna make stadiums scream
One day I'll make it a realty, I'll tell 'em "It was all a dream"
Thanks for listening
