A Rapper's Tale

This one for all of my friends
That are dealing with more than they'll ever admit
This ones for all of the passionate kids
That are told they should quit
This is for everyone praising me
That used to treat me like shit
This is for every bullet that I've missed
This is for every time I took a hit

This is for everything I never had
This is for every time that they would laugh
This is for anyone blocking my path
This is for when I stood up to my dad
This is a typical story of people ignoring you
Til you resort to attack
This is my inner turmoil I'm feeling it boil
Whenever my fam and I chat

This is me getting better
This is me spiraling out of control
This is me losing myself and rejecting your help
Til I find myself all on my own
This is me out of my comfort zone
This is me in my zone
This is me wishing you would but I know you won't
This is me sober wishing I was stoned

This is me stoned wishing that I said no
This is me scolding myself when alone
Don't let it show when I'm out with the bros
Weigh out the pros and the cons on my own
Taking the road that I'm on is a risk
Sake of my soul is the reason I did
Had to expose all the secrets I hid
Before I could grow and then finally find bliss

This is the start of a new beginning
This is my heart in the form of lyrics
Been ripped apart due to bad decisions
This is why karmas compared to bitches
This is a common ground that we can visit
This is the ups and the downs of existing
Continued competing the feelings to give in
But trynna be free has put me in a prison

Escape is a pivot away
Lately been drifting astray
Caught in predicaments they all predicted
Cuz I never give what I take
Lately I get recognized everywhere but the mirror
This is the point that I'm scared
This is unlike myself, yeah I'm aware
This is me trynna do better, I swear

This is the 49th bar of the verse
This is important for rappers to learn
There ain't formula for you to follow
Besides choose your words being certain their yours
I put in work and it still didn't work
Put in some more and my fortune reversed
I've gone to war with the man that I was
And I came out triumphant for better or worse

This is the end of the verse
I wrote it again and rehearsed
Gave it to you straight but when it get heard
Thats where it bends and it curves
Out my control so its not my concern
I still got a lot to go learn
But one thing I know is that I'm on the verge
Of going berserk
This is whats under the surface
