I’ve been thinkin' back To the reasons that I rap All the stories that I have All the pain that has passed When I was a itty bitty lad With a off-brand backpack from my dad I would tap on the desk at school Write poetry in the notepad I would make the teacher so mad Show up for me, no class Ace all my tests, still pass I was someone that they couldn't hold back Then I met Vo and Izaak, I sense I could be the sidekick They were in 4th and 5th I was in 3rd, slight nerd with oversized kicks My clothes didn’t quite fit Just your average white kid Who’s trying to escape the pain of his legs Cause his mom was high risk One Friday after school, I was going to meet Vo and Z who were b-boyin down at the B&GC Z told me since you have bunk feet can’t buy a king crab Or write graffiti That leaves one thing, you need to learn to MC Do you feel confident you could rap on the beat See we’re hip-hop too and a crew needs 3 You just don’t look hip hop to me But if you rap while we dance that’s something that we need So you tell me, what’s it gonna be It’s a need, it’s my nature Seeing me, the callin' of my maker This is raw, this is fate, this is flavor When I spit feel it hit in your sacral I’m grateful, I’m dignified Reflectin back on my path I’m living my best life Destiny or prophecy, I just know I’m blessed to be Right where I’m supposed to be I’ve been thinkin' back To when we were skippin' class Just to smoke weed and rap Like it was the only thing we had Back with the same backpack All black more notepads and a hackey-sack And a blunt wrap, cap with a fitted hat Ditch that, just to make a mixtape on an iMac Add a couple high hats, lemme try that Beat by my homie Max, I could ride that From NYC lemme see where your pride at Hip-hop was born but where’d it die at I could revive that, you know, give it life back Wishin' I could do the same for Max I was out in Cali when I heard he had passed It’s the stories of our elders It’s the trials of my peers It’s the memories of my brothers and my sisters Who aren’t here And I wonder why, why I’m the one alive I just reflect back, see that I’m living my best life Is it fate or a dumb luck spree I just know I’m blessed to be Right where I’m supposed to be I’ve been thinking back To my homie Zack Another friend who had passed We used to kick it at his pad He’d look at me and say, Yo, Steez, tell 'em how hard it is in these streets Up in the PHX, we were just fiends Poppin these scrips, party routine If we would trip, probably Lucy I got clean, Zack OD’d Only difference between him and me Still hear his voice when I rap on the beat Hey homie I heard you Amazed at what these words do Cause you still a king, and it’s still vanilla curfew Never had the will to hurt you The closest in my circle I took off, you died a month later Man, that shit was hurtful It had me puffin purple, drinkin' out of the bottle Matter fact that was right before I hit my bottom Went back to oxycontin, used to steal em from my mama Got bounced to a halfway house just tryin' to solve the problem I’m caught in a dilemma Forgot not to remember Before I went to prison I was caught inside a pit of Confusion - isn’t that what hell is Lemme tell you It’s gotta be closer the devil’s gotta be jealous Only gonna say this one time I forgive you for everything I felt Only gonna say this one time I forgive myself
