[Hook] Last name is DeRuse, First name is Cole Let take you on a journey to get a glimpse of my soul 25 years old, some people say I can flow But some others have different opinions [Verse 1] If I did this for another's approval, I would'a caved Went to college and to student loans became a slave Worked a 9-5, that rarely gave out a raise And I woulda quit rappin' throwin' this pa**ion away, uh That ain't no shade, I'm just sayin' that ain't me I was made to rock the stage, into the crowd I must leap I don't own a mask and cape, I won't fake like halloween Homie this ain't no masquerade, I don't hide behind a thing You can blame my, creative writing teacher in high school She got me high on poetry welcome to flight school My homework a**ignment was writin' some poems And now Im spittin' fire out the mouth like I'm a Samoan Okay I'm blowin' this a little bit out of proportion But if it wasn't for that cla** I would not be recordin' You see forgettin' your beginnings could lead to misfortune And that's why sharin' these snippets of my journey's important, yeah [Hook] Last name is DeRuse, First Name is Cole Let take you on a journey to get a glimpse of my soul 25 years old, some people say I can flow Some others have different opinions, I don't really care though And if you didn't know, I represent K.C. MO Video games are my favorite and Mexican food is gold I could eat it every day and afterwards want some more Some other have different opinions, I don't really care though [Verse 2] If I did this for another's approval I would be dead now Slit my wrists from the pressure and laid there 'til I bled out Left a note for my wife, tellin' her I loved her But without me in her life, this is probablythe best route But i stepped out, away from the shadows of disapproval I didn't let it break me though at time's it sought my life's removal Those times were crucial, moldin' my character Every time they hated on me, I just I through up a barrier Except for this one day, when my father sat me down He said to stop rappin' if I wanna make this family proud Man that was hard to shake, like a shot to the face But now when I get up on stage, I can see him standing in the crowd The lesson learned, is I just need to be me Aimin' to be excellent even when life ain't easy Some will be there for me, while others I need to delete And if you can relate to my story it was worth the repeat, yeah [Hook] Last name is DeRuse, First Name is Cole Let take you on a journey to get a glimpse of my soul 25 years old, some people say I can flow Some others have different opinions, I don't really care though And if you didn't know, I represent K.C. MO Video games are my favorite and Mexican food is gold I could eat it every day and afterwards want some more Some other have different opinions, I don't really care though
