It was the March of O fifteen When I put the quill to the parchment the first Felt like my heart would've burst, if I didn't blow some steam, life couldn't go any lower Or so it seemed at the time, so I wrote a sheet full of rhymes thinking hopefully Maybe openly speaking about the shit, that'd rose to a fever pitch in my mind Is the catharsis I'm seeking, art is the beacon of hope to me, but unknowingly I Was sowing the seed for a dream that would take over me The shoot is now a, plant it would fruit and flower And over everything else in my life it soon would tower I said screw the sour faces, I knew it's now or Never, cuz victory is not for cowards who stoop and cower I'm unbeatable, I'm feeling through the loop empowered F*ck a producer, I'm brewing my own, to devour I can move a mountain, I was in a stupor now Intoxicated with my newly discovered superpower You can imagine just how joyous and ecstatic I was a mute in the past devoid of a voice now I had it I've got a choice in my path, I'm No more the stoic and the hapless Victim who's cloistered and trapped Inside of the oyster my parents fashioned When back in the day, I was a boy and kidnapped And like Soyuz on the pad I was just poised to attack Go make historic an impact Cut through the noise and the static Fly to the moon and come back, after I'd hoisted my flag I'd gotten obsessed with the thought of wanting to be the best that I Not even slept, pulling all nighters to master rap, like a Zombie I stepped, into the class, waddle to the last bench Sit nodding till I've nodded off, and plopped to the desk I was awfully spent but f*ck the exhaustion I felt, till I'm at the target I've set I'm throwing all caution to wind So while everybody else prepped for the next quarterly test I'd be trynna rhyme to perfection the next song in my list I know illogical it's for a guy who constantly claims to not give a shit when alive 'bout what you thought of me that The thought that haunts me relentlessly and prods me the best To best myself is the thought of being forgotten in death And I thought I could keep the songs separated from real life To be honest I've never been more mistaken, I feel like My fate has been sealed tight, the moment I signed the deal with the rap devil So might as well put the pedal to metal You better clear away Before you get forced to I'm taking back what's mine And I'll take what's yours too Don't wanna be around When I reveal the plot Sure I'm the underdog But I am still a Rott You better clear away Before you get forced to I'm taking back what's mine And I'll take what's yours too Don't wanna be around When I reveal the plot Sure I'm the underdog But I am still a Rott I used to sit and wonder, how did it come to This point, I'm fuzzy, was it just last summer That I was a newcomer in college, saw this stunner of a lass in the class And I knew I was gonna become her someone Maybe a friend, maybe a lover, maybe with a little luck, her Significant other, but somewhere along the way I fumbled Went from being her friend, to worst enemy, back to nothing But you'll know what I thought, I'm no longer a locked folder Bottled emotions overflowing like a popped soda I'm spilling a lotta shit that I'm not 'posed to Not selling my shares no I'm not a stockbroker I've been knocked over but I won't be walked over Every joint I rolled out, I got doper F*ck if it's a tempest in a teapot, smoke her I'm unleashing the dogs of war, come October (Will you shut up?) If I'ma be stitching these words together for the rest of my life, never to find, a drop of the recognition deserved If a despicable scourge I am for inflicting this hurt The ones who once meant the most to me burned by the friction I stirred If I'm destined to serve life in this prison I worked to build with my Wishes and yearnings and at night I twitch and I turn If I come up short and I'm trumped in this mission I serve You can bet your ass it won't be 'cuz I'm missing the courage F*ck any bridges I burned F*ck any bitches I turned against me it's necessary collateral which has occurred And f*ck any bitches that are surprised at how vicious I turned and wishes I weren't Reprisal, the only dish that I serve And it's a dish that is served Hot so I'm braising this pot with the flames in my heart Get a mouthful when I'm dishing the dirt You can see the embers blaze in my eye Middle fingers raised to the sky, no remorse Any semblance of contrition I purged Gun's steady Anyone who wants to play with the hunter better come ready He's stopping to savor the blood of his game when he pump lead he Don't Pop for the Paper, better not mistake it for confetti Used to be the funny sunny but the sun's setting The tone in this whole town But a year and a half later, I sit here alone penning this poem down Looking back at the storm that I rode out, there's no doubt that I sold out I'm at the end of the road now, so...
