My Way Lyrics

I was born into the culture

My cousins wearing polka-dots

My father was a DJ and boy

He liked to smoke a lot

His studio it reeked of pot

My pops he smelt like leather

Was the 80s

We rolling and going places together

87 riding i was five

I heard KRS criminal minded

And on the drive

My mind was blown away

The words i knew, arranged them in a way

That i still have the same approach

Writing to this day

The ruggedness of Onyx

Watching slam at 11

writing lyrics that im hearing

The music had me in heaven

Was the first step

Writing down these rhymes

that werent mine

Was an exercise

Flexing in strength my lyrical mind

by the time im 12

I had a pad and was writing

13 spit my lyrics at school

And these niggas biting

Took my whole rhyme

He went and spit it at assembly

Tore the house down

With lyrics that i wrote

Cuz i was deadly

Came in first place

And Dimas the biter he came in second

Was addicted

I wanted to rap and constantly wreck it

Jump to 96 mobb deep, fugees and it was written

Plus the wu had me amped up

So much there was no quitting

Was a rascal

Constantly causing troubled fiascos

Was kicked out of school

Cuz of truancy was an asshole

By the time I was in military school

Here comes pun

I could relate to his voice

And his life and the things hes done

I was inspired

(Yo i think i could do this)

I knew something in my brain

Had changed nothings the same

I was laying in my bunk

In the barracks rapping to rain

I heard the drops form a rhythm

And i used it as a beat

I even rapped

To the sound of us marching

Shuffling feet

The year was 99

I was 17 in my prime

Had my notebook with lyrics

I carried it all the time

You see i wanted it so bad

Especially in my 20s

That i worked side jobs

And started stacking my pennies

It was 04

Enrolling in music school came to pillage

Was the institute of audio research

Down in the village

Took the skills that i learned

And started saving for gear

Had a whole recording setup was ready

Within a year

And now its 05

rapping recording as phase oner

Had a whole album ready

Was really a great summer

As i built my rep

And people were realizing im capable

I wrote more

Cuz the ambition i haves unshakable

In 08 depressed i was stressed

But indeed the best

I had no place to live and amazingly KRS

Was invoked, this is no joke folks

Hes at my brothers rest

He met me and then instantly guided me

Another quest

Apprentice, i brought this all about

With just my mental

My dreams came true

I was living in Hip Hops temple

see i came forth in life

And my destiny was a mic

Now im coiled up deadly like pythons

Ready to strike
