I thought that I was on my way Right from the beginning day I found out when I took my turn That I still had a lot to learn But that ain’t going to stop me no That ain’t stop my flow That ain’t going to kill the urge They say you got to burn to emerge It’s Mykel Hawk and I’m a motherfucking rap star And I’m not bragging I’m just stating what the facts are I don’t like boujie rap I bump more shit like Black Star And yo this track here got more flavor than a snack bar This shit has been a way of life since I was ten all I would do Is sit and write while listening to beats all night until morning Would turn to night then once again And I’d pretend that I was in the shoes of rappers I looked up to I had a mic and a boombox I’d hook it up to I’d put a concert on right there inside my bedroom In only underwear I didn’t care cause I’d have cred soon It had to be more than a dream because it seemed And felt so real I’d sign a deal and then of course My music video would play on MTV’s show Yo! with Dr. Dre And they would have me there like damn near every weekend Because I’d have another single that was peaking My people keeping me from my own braggadocio Fans screaming never sleeping on a tour of Tokyo That was the goal that was my vision I would explode a rap musician Some people told me that my mission would never grow into fruition I’d never listen to no dismissing I’d only laugh cause every year that passed I’d just get better And it was clear I was advancing fast in my endeavor Vocabulary showing bars growing ever clever Abandoned almost everything but Hip-Hop altogether One day my confidence had grown I stepped out to club that locally was known For hosting battles rappers flowing for the throne I grabbed the mic walked out and froze just like a stone My ego blown I thought that I was on my way Right from the beginning day I found out when I took my turn That I still had a lot to learn But that ain’t going to stop me no That ain’t stop my flow That ain’t going to kill the urge They say you got to burn to emerge I started out just as a child with aspirations Some found it wild that I had such determination To read about myself in Hip-Hop publications I didn’t know then I would face the complications I never thought about or gave considerations That I could find myself in fucked up situations Some people said I lacked the real qualifications Said I’m a dreamer with a big imagination I took my demo to the local music station I couldn’t even get a play in they rotation I started doubting myself losing motivation Like me a rapper pshh, hallucinations But then epiphany hit a revelation I wouldn’t be defined by others limitations I make this music for the positive vibrations Now I could give a f*ck about interpretations I thought that I was on my way Right from the beginning day I found out when I took my turn That I still had a lot to learn But that ain’t going to stop me no That ain’t stop my flow That ain’t going to kill the urge They say you got to burn to emerge
