[Verse One] Check it out This is like the time I choked at that rap battle Rap Parables I got the crowd sayin "Damn X I thought you was a rapper" And I was like "Me too n***a I thought I's a rapper" And I keep sh** in my head. No balls to say it to the face I talk to backs like I'm the coach and I'm rapping like I'm approaching a deal that I stay focused to reach Hungry chasing after this bread there's nothing else I can eat And no one else really sees or knows That this music sh**'s a drug to my soul This life's a scam that we all fail to unfold That's why I'll never give in I'll never give in even if they say I gotta get in to make it And the beauty in life is that we all make mistakes But that is one I'd never make so if you see me in a year Don't you forget just who I is and everything about me f** those n***as who ever doubted me Word up [Hook One] But y'all keep talking that sh** n***a But y'all keep talking that sh** But y'all keep talking that sh** n***a But y'all keep talking that sh** Rap Parables to the soul I'm speaking sh** that's never told But y'all keep talking that sh** n***a But y'all keep talking that sh** [Verse Two] New chapter now in my life without any old characters Rap Parables It ain't God sent and I ain't processed all this nonsense that I've been hearing So I pray and go ask God if he can make a clearing Or bring me back to where I was before I was guilty for all the rights I wronged And I was 15 when I became a man. That's when it all began I had some chicks saying "Damn X you are the f**ing best" "... and if I got what you need then drop on those knees and s** on this d-" I mean pardon me it's just that quite honestly I never had too much p**y then getting thrown up at me My friends say it's like life so how come I'd never take it n***a? The virgin in me was afraid n***a. I was afraid to grow old at a young age n***a I was afraid if I did it was cause me some type of strife And if I hit with no commit that might just f** up my life. Right? [Hook Two] Rap Parables to the soul, yeah I'm speaking sh** that's never told But y'all keep talking that sh** n***a But y'all keep talking that sh** But y'all keep talking that sh** n***a And Imma cut y'all off
