The Journey Starts (Intro)

So what's the Scenic Route

Yea
Too many people think they know me
Might've seen me once or twice but never homies
Swear it's the truth this is just my testimony
Never planned to have some crazy ceremony
But this the life I chose or did it it choose me
Since a kid I always knew that low key
I was destined for greatness but had my eyes sealed
Or should I say shut should've kept my eyes peeled
Snakes sitting laying right up next to you
And the people fake chilling say what's best for you
Slowing the process tryna stop you from becoming you
Never want you to be better so they blocking you
Guess it's my own fault I let them make my own decisions
Looking back I would never take a new revision
I wear it on my chest it's something like a new religion
Made me who I am I'm destined for a new collision
And if the end coming lord please forgive my soul
Know you put me for a purpose feel it in my bones
But if I strayed from the path how could I ever known
All the time felt I always did it on my own
Whether your lessons or your blessings
My father who art up in heaven
You sent your son to many reverends
But never ever did he listen
Made me always wanna question
Even if it means I'm second guessing
Can't be living life full of regrets and
Can't be living life without progression
So I'm moving on a fast track
Never turning back
Tryna get my life intact
Chasing dreams know I'll never get to take it back
All the time lost relive it like a flashback
I need a Kodak Cuz my memory escapes from me
Hoping you know that I won't rest I need what's best for me
And so I'm working on that right now
Know I'll make it where I'm destined somehow

It's like for as long as I can remember this is what I've wanted to do
When I was younger I used to just read lyric pages all day
And try to memorize every line of every song I liked
Everywhere I went you could hear me rapping like 50 or like Em
And people would always tell me like yo you love it so much
You should just be a rapper not knowing that's already what I had in my mind
But as I got older 50 and Em turned into Gucci and Flame
And honestly the game got so commercial & gimmicky that I wasn't even sure anymore
