The Origin Story
I was about a buck-30
When I was stuck, dirty, and starving
Filling my head with flower
"Mary Jane" or "Loud"
Whatever you wanna call it
"Devil's Lettuce" or "Power"
"Dank," "Medicine,"
"Our insurmountable hours spent on the clouds"
Spent on the clouds, spent on the clouds
Drifting and shouting, "Fk y'all, I'm out!"
I am about to float off without
The low down and drowning
Thoughts I carried around
Sooner rather later
I found myself on the ground
Looking up to the heavens
Like, "What's with all of these haters?"
That is when I remembered
An unintentional manifestation
Of getting some bad attention
I wanted haters
Maybe that's what I needed
Maybe that'd be my ticket
Maybe if people hated me
Someone would start debating
And someone would stop to listen
And hear what I had to dish em
And feel what I had to rip
But for real, I acted as if
Even though I was given
Those copious compliments
When they told me most of my rhythms
Were pro enough to be hits
I still embellished the hate for
A prodigy in the making
Now that I'm sharing secrets
I'll share another I didn't
So I did what I had to do and I did it quick
So I did what I had to do and I did it quick
So I did what I had to do and I did it quick
So I did what I had to do and
As time passed
And my last rhymes depleted
I'd given just about all I had believe it
Smoking until I'd written
Of poems, stories, and lyrics
I thought I was being careful
Thought I was being witty and moderate
But apparently not
And it was inherently obvious
Like with everything
I was just trying to carry with confidence
But I did it with awkwardness
And got worse when I thought
"Oh my god, is everyone watching this?"
Yes, they're watching watching watching me
Paranoia came and grabbed my self esteem
And they're all gonna think I'm probably
Falling off cause I look so out of place
I feel so out of phase
Man I gotta change
I don't wanna live inside the sunken place
Looking in the mirror, all I saw was sick
I muttered to myself, "I think I'm dying quick"
So I did what I had to do and I did it quick
So I did what I had to do and I did it quick
I-I-I flipped up my attitude and I got a grip
So I flipped up my attitude and I got a grip
Yeah I got a grip
When I was stuck, dirty, and starving
Filling my head with flower
"Mary Jane" or "Loud"
Whatever you wanna call it
"Devil's Lettuce" or "Power"
"Dank," "Medicine,"
"Our insurmountable hours spent on the clouds"
Spent on the clouds, spent on the clouds
