Rookie - The Mind Of Rookie lyrics

{verse 1} I got homies that know no better than sipping slow Past memories, sat in the crib just missing those Many hours drownin' in sorrow while playin' games Knowin' damn well that my life won't stay the same No one taught me how to rap, or taught me how to spit I was caught all up in that, now i'm caught all up in this They saw my imperfections, put my flaws up in a diss Just startin' out, i feel small up in the biz What's trendin'? fascinated by birds I got 2 words, procrastination's absurd Up late at night, imagination and words Sure some are fans, but some are sayin' im worse Man, i just write bars at night When i can't sleep, and the stars in sight I guess fate just, let me see my inner greatness Cuz now i'm optimistic and i know im finna make it {hook} I got homies that know no bettеr than sipping slow Past memories, sat in the crib just missing thosе Writin' raps, when im sad, to fill the void If i'm not talkin' much, i prolly feel annoyed {verse 2} I got homies that know no better than sipping slow Past memories, sat in the crib just missing those I was spendin' hella time, with my pen to the page Teachers hella worried, but homies said it's insane And by that i mean my homies showin' love Word to my homies up above Grip the pistol with the glove The bars are ammunition, now i'm spittin' out my blood I put my sweat and tears into writin' every track When i had just begun, i had to light a match I couldn't spit a flame, but my homies had my back They said go and chase your dreams, there ain't no lookin' back Freestyled my whole life, i don't mess with tactics As token once said, i'll watch the critics do a backflip Hella people had talent and laughed cuz i lacked it Now i'm sick at rap, i got lyrics that can back it I needa make more tracks in a month But i'm tryna make sure that they're packin' a punch It's like i'm in the ring with a pen and a pad I remember people sayin' my bars are dead and bad With my homies freestylin' up at lunch Took turns, spittin' bars, it was fun We'd all spit a bar, even if it sounded dumb But i guess, in a way, it's where my passion's from {hook} I got homies that know no better than sipping slow Past memories, sat in the crib just missing those I guess from my past, i can tell i'm better Walked through the rain and any difficult weather
