18th Year

[Verse 1]
Roll the end credits on my 18th year
As I, depart 1822 in 2 days, wanna get a few things out in the cloud just to make things clear
I never imagined I'd rap, matter of fact it was jokes when I started initially, mainly because I had fear that the dreams that I secretly had wouldn't manifest visually
I started writing poetry to pass time
Then I learned to play piano for the same reason
Then I learned how to claim the cadence, maim the beat the same way my favorites could run seasons
After that, about freshman year, I came up just to check the fear of getting wrecked and steered like all of the collective ears in the school in my direction and I let them hear
Performing then on sorta led them here
Telling me things that I already knew
All that it took was a rise in my confidence changing my countenance and I could do
Well... Just about anything I put my mind to
Started with piano on the Instagram videos, then I started singing and inventing rhymes too
Grew a little fan base and already got the ball to roll, and all control was in my hands, man
Know it really ain't much but to say I came up was really the whole plan
So thank you all
I'm just praying that you stay involved
Summer gone, gotta say you can await the fall (x2)

[Verse 2]
Thank
God that I never got robbed
Not to say they ain't try, but I never got caught
And I got shot at, but I never got shot
And I loved high school but I never got taught
To survive in a system that wasn't invented for me
Straight out the hood and I battled suburbia
Scrutiny grew once they knew who I was and the pressure was something I wasn't impervious to
But I was determined to make sure that everyone heard of this dude, so
Here I am, ten toes down, hoping I can see the game from a bird's eye, view
Uh
A lotta my dreams were impeded
And a lotta niggas schemed when they seen em
Coming to fruition till it seemed they defeated me
But needless to say, I been working to achieve this day
And working otherwise so receiving pay for my achievements was reasonable and it seems that I'm on the right track as the season is closing
I might quit as the season approaches, but I'll still write while I'm off this high
It feels so good that this all was mine
It's the, eternal journey of the spotless mind
I'm back in the city for a minute then I'm out
Attacking the industry & chillin on the couch
Enacting the villainy that made me me, and after all you all still stayed with me
So once again, gotta thank you all, it'll be a real ride if you stay involved, summer gone, gotta say you can await the tape, but I'm 19 now so the date is off

Until next time, obviously
