As a Kid

[Intro: Cyrus from The Warriors (1979)]
Nobody is wasting nobody!
That is a miracle
And miracles is the way things ought to be!
Can you dig it?
Can you dig it?
Can you dig it?

[Verse 1]
Livin' in the projects, momma said it'll be ok
But I can see the pain up in her eyes like fuckin' day
Psychologists prescribe me pills, and I started slingin' shit
Only 14 but I already had a plan set
Set up my computer in the closet, I would lock it
Makin' beats and writin' lyrics, needin' money in my pocket
I'm the shit, boy, did it all on my own
I'm only 18 now, but I feel like I am grown
I've seen shit that you ain't ever see
I went under heavily
Rehab at 15, now I don't need yo' empathy
But mentally, understand I'm stronger than I seem
Overcome it all, to share my story is my destiny
You feelin' me?

[Chorus]
As a kid, I just wanted to be famous
And I'm headed to the top, nothin' less than the greatest
And I'll never ever quit, promise momma I'ma make it
And I work my ass off on a daily fuckin' basis
As a kid, I just wanted to be famous
And I'm headed to the top, nothin' less than the greatest
And I'll never ever quit, promise momma I'ma make it
And I work my ass off on a daily fuckin' basis

[Verse 2]
Uh, seen a lotta dead bodies
People on the street killin' like it was a hobby, fuckin' zombies
How come this shit never makes the news
But trap music can get millions of views?
It's fuckin' sick, look at the numbers of suicide
We live in a world where people rather fuckin' die
I'm makin' changes, people, make me famous
These self-absorbed rappers will never ever say this
Advocate for world peace, little fuckin' hippy boy
See I've been thrown inside of hell but still my body's filled with joy
Choose your own destiny, life is what you make it
And I'm makin' it a blunt and a buncha bitches naked

[Chorus]
As a kid, I just wanted to be famous
And I'm headed to the top, nothin' less than the greatest
And I'll never ever quit, promise momma I'ma make it
And I work my ass off on a daily fuckin' basis
As a kid, I just wanted to be famous
And I'm headed to the top, nothin' less than the greatest
And I'll never ever quit, promise momma I'ma make it
And I work my ass off on a daily fuckin' basis
