In Another Lifetime

Okay run it, lets listen to it
Go,

I'm living in another lifetime, did it for myself
I chose the life to put different stuff on my shelf

Little naive, boy from no where wants to be big
This ain't no ordinary story, like the one's on TV

He grew up to be a fuck up, like his uncle was
He was sent to the best school for good education

So his parents wouldn't worry about that problem
But little did they know, he was seeing unsual shit

It all started from the small age of seven
Where he would listen to hip hop music in his room

He kept it to himself till he was eleven
But till then he was spitting and rhyming in his room

He still remembers seeing shit move on its own
But he also remembers the visions God sent

Especially when there was no one at all
He couldn't make a call at the time, so he was all alone

Knew he was different, at least that's for what he was known
All the times he fell, and went home with bloody knees

But he had something that no one knew deep down
He was wanted, but not for the looks or books

He was loved and hated in a way, he never understood
He started loving the game more than himself

As time went by his dreams grew bigger by size and mind
No one could fully understand, so they gave up

Nothing was of interest to him, he knows what he wanted
Rapping and writing verses in school while no one noticed

Until he wanted to make the big moves and asks

I want something different for christmas this year
Maybe a studio session and a mic would be fine

Everyone looks confused into the boys eye's
Knowing no one makes it by taking this path in life

But they were convinced, he got the stuff and started sharing
Just to show the little kid how much they were caring

About him, his future, his present and his mind
He started, putting the same work he did on a mic

Knowing everyone would be listening one day
He didn't have a fear of judgment or self conscious

He just gave his heart out into something he enjoyed
Im living in another lifetime, I can't do the same shit

That I once did before I had this big dream
Living in another lifetime, no regrets but I wish

Some things went differently, that now impact my life
Another lifetime, my dad wouldn't have been the same

Living with a step dad and step mum going to different places
Drug addicts going around like they live at home

working at fifteen to pay mum the bills she can't afford
Whilst dad is out trying to get his life together but he can't

But in this lifetime, my dad works from 6 to 5
Just to put more than enough food on the table

Just for this lifetime
Just for this lifetime

When things started taking a turn into the kids life
People around him were surprised and confined

Into saying the wrong shit to him and being misunderstood
The kid listened to every detail he needed

In order to improve and continue his journey
But this is where the real problems started

He was always being thrown into unwanted trouble
Saying the wrong shit around the wrong people

He saw death in front of his eye's for a couple times
But he was the realest his friends would ever find

He would die trying to get something done for someone
Which could also backfire as he got backstabbed

But that's life, no complaints for the pain just rage
