Rap Star

Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Can you feel the music beating in your heart Tell me
Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Even when everything falls apart Tell me

Is it funny how life turned out? The very quiet person
No one would have assumed she was in her bedroom working
On her rap songs, this girl was a such a different version
Of the person y'all were seeing, she was so hidden lurking ay
This was the girl that never said a word
No eye contact, no emotion ever stirred
"Do you even ever speak?" were the words that referred
To her, she heard them assert she was weird
She preferred to be alone, couldn't relate to anyone
Among everyone she had more to overcome
Had a lot of words but the words were unsung
Rap star to be made, she was, she was strong
So rap was what she went to, was a way to express herself
The content helped her torment, she progressed and she excelled
Nobody knew how compelled she was to write her first verse
She was immersed singing along to songs that she rehearsed hey

Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Can you feel the music beating in your heart Tell me
Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Even when everything falls apart Tell me

What was it about rap that she liked, was it the violence
(No), was it the drug dealing and the way they talked about girls like objects
(No), the ice was nice, but it was the rhythm and poetry
(Yep) To focus you totally, rap lyrics are potent so notably uh
You can be witty with words, it's a means to be creative
Most people don't listen close enough to be educated
A rhyming dictionary is your best friend, a thesaurus is second
They'll teach you some lessons, yup they are your best weapons yep
I learned rap music, and I determined it was technical
I learned plentiful, it was a trek to be incredible
We all have to start somewhere, right now I am the jester
Ingenuity is late, for hours, I'm the investor oh

Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Can you feel the music beating in your heart Tell me
Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Even when everything falls apart Tell me

I never knew that I would have an avenue to do rapping
It got moved to the back of the queue, but something in life was lacking
It was nerve-racking racking my brain looking for some talent
Hoping it hadn't gone too far, cuz I had sent it packing
It felt good to find it yes, I'm definitely rusty
I'm attacking it freshly, I've given it all my money
Actually I did wanna make rap songs, so to move along
This is like a phenomenon, cuz it was something so long gone
I didn't have a voice and here I am just monologuing
I put my soliloquy to music, whilst I am still withdrawing
It's therapeutic writing privately in your own zone
And when you release your song, they say "where did that come from?"
And their minds are blown

Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Can you feel the music beating in your heart Tell me
Do you wanna be a rap star? Tell me
Even when everything falls apart Tell me
