[Verse 1]
I started off young always listening to music
I'm doing what I love and I will never turn back
So young and innocent never even got a wrist slap
I do this shit for you and I'm only on my first lap
It doesn't matter if I'm white, asian or black
I rap for human beings never living life whack
Stop with the crack or you'll break ya mamas back
Get all your luggage up then get your shit unpacked
Deny the fact that I've been chosen stop with the lies jack
Stressed out all the time with anxiety attacks
It feels like my dreams are on the tire tracks
They're drunken up fucked up they better move off or smack
They're gone dead flat
[Hook]
Born in the city but I'm no longer in a trap
This sounds ridiculous but I was born just to rap
Born in the city but I'm no longer in a trap
It sounds kinda crazy but I was born just to rap
Born in the city but I'm no longer in a trap
This sounds ridiculous but I was born just to rap
Born with a gift spread it like bullets in a gat
Now It sounds kinda obvious I was born just to rap
[Verse 2]
I feel kinda lucky though
Got my parents working hard dinner on my plate I'm full
Nothing to be sad of but my mentality I don't know
What to do and what to do it for
People think inside my brain is so slow
But I know people wasting their lives doing blow
Born to rap I want to see hundreds at all of my shows
I'm just a lone wolf in society but I got flow
People looking at me like rotten Sloppy Joe's
As if I'm J. Hendrix and I said Hey Joe
They're crazy man, I guess they need their cocoa
Crispier than baked chickens buried underneath the snow
I've loved music man, since the beginning of time
Well I mean ever since the beginning of mine
People think I'm dope because of my average rhymes
And I got haters too and it's about damn time
[Hook]
Born in the city but I'm no longer in a trap
This sounds kinda crazy but I was born just to rap
Born in the city but I'm no longer in a trap
My package is a stimulus you better check your map
Born in the city but I'm no longer in a trap
Uncommon musician man, I was born just to rap
Born with a gift spread it like bullets in a gat
No other explanation I was born just to rap
[Verse 3]
You need a translation to understand my creations
And I'm getting better too elevation is my direction
I was born to rap for a duration of non-limitation
I have so much frustration from music starvation
I hope in my nation I'll create some temptations
For you born with contemplation in this shitty generation
And I'm as rare as an un-corrupted politician
Saying things aren't in conditions of superstition
Sit and listen man cause this class is now in session
Renditions of these stupid opinions and decisions
Imperfections of all these negative impressions
The thoughts inside my head cause successions of compression
I have depression too but I make succession in recessions
I have feelings too man, I'm just a big expression
And my obsessions of my profession causes nonstop progression
Born to rap all the others need to go to confession
