Odd Thomas - Native Lungs lyrics

[Intro: Gabriella Winchester] Yo Yo What's up ya'll? This is Gabriella And you are listening to Native Lungs with Braille Brizzy Whoop Whoop [Hook: Braille] West coast native West coast native West coast native [Verse 1: Braille] I was born 1981 September 22nd First born son Got my feet wet in the city of rain Learned how to walk, on the muddy terrain Used my tape decks to study the rap game Been around for a while seen a lot of things change This is my native land Language I understand Before I made records I was a fan I was in the east coast mostly The Lifesavers were my favourite group locally 2000 Cream Team with the speakers on max And the DJ would scratch with his sneakers on his hands man You could find me in the front row With the 'double X' clothes on Pockets full of paper that I wrote on Always had rhymes with me That's how I know how to write them so quickly [Hook] [Verse 2: Braille] Where was I? Let me pick up where I left off A few years after 'Hammer Pants' and 'Kriss Kross' I took it serious Notebook Pencil lead Flow go with the beat like a needle and thread Needle to the record freestyling in my room No audience Letting the ba** go boom For the love of it And that's the native lung of it Back then never knew what would become of it Before I had my drivers licence I was an*lysing who could rhyme the nicest Shy and silent But something inside was rising Each step got more surprising [Hook] [Verse 3: Braille] Yeah, I learned the hard way, nobody told me how Kept flowing even though I had a sloppy style Didn't know how to count my bars right Must have learned how to play my cards right So many MC's light-years ahead of me What can I do that hasn't been done already Not much I'm a novice in this Made mistakes I can't go back and fix it I was wicked never sought forgiveness Never thought I'd write rhymes with the Gospel in it I'm not the 'El Capitan' or lieutenant Things never panned how I planned I admit it Thank God I repented I was so foolish I thought I could get saved by the music But he chose me That's a lot to take in And that's how the story begins Let's get it in
