[Sample Hook] Hip hop Hop, hop Hip hop Hop, hop [Verse 1] Is the reason that I'm broker than I should be Is the reason that perhaps soon, it'll be the opposite Is the reason that I can channel just who I am Right to a medium, and that I even know who Nastradamus is Is the reason for my concept of what I think pa**ion is Is the reason that I have become so much more pa**ionate Is the reason for some fights with a knife that my back was in Is the reason that some people call my by an acronym It's the reason that soon I'mma give my city wings It's the reason that soon I'mma make my city sing with me It's the reason that I could show em all that I'm real It's the reason that my team is down to chase a dream with me It's the reason that I lost some of the friends I did It's the reason that I picked up all the pens I did It's the reason that I'll meet the people shaping my life It's the reason for what I'll look back on as the highlights It's the reason that I try to live up to potential Not just when I pick up pencils, but every time that I end sleep It's the reason that it's not only when I awake It's on my mind until the night and I think it's time to begin sleep Usually the morning, sometime around dawn When everybody is asleep and I'm the only one that's up So I don't need to tell you it's the reason for the fact That I never get any rest, cause you already know what's up [Sample Hook] You're a flower You're a river You're a rainbow You're a flower You're a river You're a rainbow [Verse 2] It's the reason that my friends believe the stage is my home And I left that for the city for the reason alone It's the reason why somebody might stop me and say hello Not even knowin' what they doin' is what is keepin' me going That's what made me realize the reason had made me realize That any time you've got love and it's deep, then you've gotta show it Whether you a poet, a rapper or a producer Flippin' crack to the users in the trap pourin' the moet Whether you an actor or a member of the youth And don't know what you want to do after you're done being a student Whether you was academically focused or truant Sober all of the time or you was constantly influenced Whether it's creation or consumption that you be doing Of the thing that I be constantly thinking about - music You've got to shoot it; first know how to use it And aim like you're trying to make em fall . .
