Renaissance's Tale (feat. Shortd)
Let's take it back to two thousand and three
I was a kid that could write and was looking to dream
The way I spit had me wishing for things
Until I read between the lines and I saw what it means
I was told this ain't for you if you looking for green
The best thing for you to do is go and polish my bling
I felt the pain I kept my heart on a string
The only thing that I could think was how I wanted to swing
I couldn't find the strength to move like I was stuck in a sling
But I had to take it back see what the future would bring
On my way to the top had to burst through some seams
And the way I rip mics shows that I'm the real thing
Now it's two thousand and thirteen time to try something different
Putting words on the page
Won't stop until I'm finished
Big ups to you thinking that I was diminished
I carry strength like a sailor
You can say I had my spinach
If you didn't know me then you're about to know me now
I stay strong and push forward through all the pain
Doing things you said that I couldn't do
You didn't think I would get this far but I just kept on pushing on
Now look at me I'm a shining star and I'll just keep on going on
Watch me now
All this time you tried to bring me down
I was working my way up
You can't take away my crown and I won't stop until I reach the top
Watch me now
In the midst of the pain I had to do it again
Because this pen is my sword and my heart is my brain
My words are adrenaline that flows through my veins
That's why I'm giving you my soul when I spill out on the page
No need to rage son I'm better than that
You told me that I wouldn't make it so I had to react
I'm leaving all the pain behind and I'm not looking back
Wanna step to me again then you know where I'm at and that's a fact
I gotta play this game to win
It's not the end of the end so I'm ready to begin
Pushing past the hate of many men and every time I touch the mic
You would think it was a sin
You didn't think I would get this far but I just kept on pushing on
Now look at me I'm a shining star and I'll just keep on going on
Watch me now
All this time you tried to bring me down
I was working my way up my way up
You can't take away my crown and I wont stop until I reach the top
Watch me now
Through the pain and all the struggles
Still manage to keep a good head on my shoulders
Still manage to keep pushing forward
To be told that you're nothing special can weigh down on you
I get asked all the time how do I deal with it
But once that pen hits my hand
This is how
You didn't think I would get this far but I just kept on pushing
Now look at me I'm a shining star and I'll just keep on going on
Watch me now
All this time you tried to bring me down
I was working my way up
You can't take away my crown and I wont stop until I reach the top
Watch me now
You didn't think I would get this far but I just kept on pushing
Now look at me I'm a shining star and I'll just keep on going on
Watch me now
I was a kid that could write and was looking to dream
The way I spit had me wishing for things
