Independent - Like That lyrics
[Verse 1] [Independent] On the great date of December 8 a future rap star was born and there was no time to waste I used to play cards with my friends, and now we like to hoop and rap I had to quit track, cuz I got a job that would one day put me abroad So I took it to the next level Thank god I left Puerto Rico the place I stayed wasn't home It was like a rental I hope that all my fans understand the lyrics I write with my pencil My handwriting sloppy So when I go to school It's tough for all the fools, when they asking me to copy Cuz they can't read my paper Grandparents lived at 12 12 with Bob and Caper Bob died soon, almost like a month later I was young Never thought my background would turn into a cash round, from raps from my tongue The mexican girl, I admit I was sprung But the lesson was learned With my feelings overhung, and my feelings overheard Why would I re rap a situation that many times I tried to reword [hook](2x) I put it like that I put it like this I put it like that for everyone that exists [Verse 2] [Independent] A mystery man by the age of 16, I didn't know what I would do for my up and coming dream So I had to decide The life that I strive for, die for Making it known what I'm alive for What do I use my eyes for, to see all my options Like the great a**ist man, that's Magic Johnson I've always had friends, always had foes But enemies are nothing cuz the friends are who I choose So I don't let them phase me Instead I sit in the corner listen to jay-z, it drives them crazy That I have matured I'm not insecure I can see all my weaknesses and turn them into cures So I'm back in the chi Told all my friends hi while they fried I could tell who was baked from their eyes I said naw to my friends Jason Naw to my dude Deshawn Cuz they not about that life and trust me neither am I So I shout out to the brothers Shout out to my mother Shout out to the girls that I got while undercover So I shout to all the brothers Shout out to my mother Shout out to the girls that I got while undercover [hook]
