[Verse 1: Packy] I went from Sneaking into Mom's car listening to Eminem To getting pad and pen writing down bars then It was Common then Kanye, Talib Kweli Nas, Hov, Pac, Biggie and Andre Gangstar, Big L, Duns put me on I was catching up had to hear every damn song then I heard some little brother That sh** was genius to me I never thought rap would mean this much to me now Im on that new sh** Tryin to be apart of it New movement never forgetting the start of it I remember scratching lyrics in my notebook Matchin to beats and coming up wit a cold hook For no reason I wasn't recording I didn't want people to hear it wasn't important Life inside the headphones it was safe It was my world it was my place Never thought I'd be this guy, not afraid to try Not only will I take the stage I stage dive Used to be shy, now I'm like why They told me stay grounded now I'm like fly Damn, remember the first show Remember the first road trip And the first choe That was the days Now its the Life Music was the mistress And I was the Wife I want it like that
