(Intro)
Yo, this is my story
(Verse 1)
Hoodies kept me hidden, I didn't want no one to notice me
Loneliness, depression and darkness were coming over me
It was an everyday thing to sit at home by myself
Only me, the darkness and pain. There was nobody else
No one who could help me find my way to the light
No one who could pick me up and tell me everything'll be alright
Everyone would tell me I'd get over it, maybe they're right
All I knew was this was not the way I want to live life
No more feeling sorry for myself
I got a life to live
I'm not some emotional little b**h
Stay positive
Like the cops was after me, I had to move quick
Created Rory cause I hated Isaac, that's what the truth is
On every beat I could find, I went off like a gun shot
I'm not about to pa** up on my one shot
To prove the world wrong, tell them to go to hell
Matter of fact, f** the world I'm doing this for myself
My life was a blank book, I'ma fill every last page
With everything that I can, my stories of love and hate
They tried to tear me down yet they don't even know my name
How did that work out you ask? Their efforts were only in vain
Everything that I've been through, I'ma put it on full blast
Gonna add every last detail
Until I run out of a past
I've finally found my way so I'ma
Try this now
I need to do something amazing, and the time is now!!
(Hook x4)
All I need is one mic...
(Verse 2)
The root of all my problems was standing right in the mirror
Looking back at me. It was starting to get clearer
What I needed to do. And that was to improve, be a better person
Be willing to put the work in
I didn't wanna be that shy little guy, that no one knows
That's how people looked at me
I want to be something more
Something I could be proud of. Someone truly amazing
So that one day I can look back, and tell myself that I made it
I had to let go of this hatred
It was k**ing me from the inside
We all have a dream, and I'll stop at nothing to get mine
No more backing out, I won't run from my problems
I'll walk away with my hoodie up, after I f**ing stomp 'em
I let this sh** slide for too many years, too many times
Like it was fine, now I'm taking back what's rightfully mine
And that would be the world. It's mine, ain't that was Nas said?
I'll shove it in pocket, and find me somewhere to lock it
Grab hold of a knife, put it on my wrist and slit it
I didn't end my life, can't you see that I bleed lyrics?
My f**ing pen's on fire as I write this down
I'm stronger now more than ever yea, the time is now!!
(Hook x4)
All I need is one mic...
(Verse 3)
All I need is one life, one try
One breath, I'm one man
No one, not even me, knew that
I had this power in my hand
To take myself and the crew to the top, that's the plan
Everyone's afraid of us, they fear what they don't understand
Underestimated is one of the words to describe me
Every line that I write, I hope it strikes you like lightening
No one else will do it like me, they ain't seen what I've seen
Ask me if I'm the GOAT, cause who knows? I just might be
This is for everyone on this Earth who's just like me
With dreams, a silent story and goals that they try and reach
Tens of thousands of us out here, a**emble the army
Anyone in our way will get it, our dreams are in arm's reach
We're warriors with a war waging, when will the world awaken
And realize the planet's ours for the taking
Even if I start to fade away and my voice gets smaller
You can bet your whole existence I'ma come back stronger
I'm pouring my soul into this more than you'd ever know
I've got more to say than every story you've ever told
I believe in me in and that's more than enough
It always has been. To the people holding me up
I wanna just say thanks for showing me what I can be
I've finally found my way
I finally see this side of me
This side that's proud to say
I am NOT like everyone else
I'm me and I'm proud
Ya'll need some soul searching
The time is now
(Hook x4)
All I need is one mic...
