This track is the intro to the mixtape LUCID BOOMBOX and explains the subject matter of the tape as a whole beginning with personal issues and addressing “memories to admire and mornings that we regret” which points a finger at the future and accepts it with shaky hands.
(Verse One)
I ain't even rappin or meanin to rhyme these rhymes
In my notebook, half of the time I'm just ventin
Cuz I been sinnin, and thank God that he ain't gettin sick of forgivin
Cuz makin it to heaven is the mission. Listen
Clearly I been spittin it well, hittin some L's
A couple hits to hit to the shelves, my soundcloud is poppin
Ballin like Scotty Pippen whenever the fam is watchin
Mama, are you proud of me? Soon I'll be in college
Rappin for a new set of freshmen... where's that time go?
Lyrics stoppin niggas like opps... that 1-1-9 flow
Anybody rollin with me eatin vivid
If you starved with me then we feastin like roaches when you ain't clean the kitchen
Childhood wasn't the best of the best
But it set me up clearly to be killin these sets
I was performing on stage since that third grade talent show
Spittin D12... edited "Fight Music"
So literally Eminem got me spittin foolish lyrics over all these instruments
Killin it, with my team
Gimme three second and the corner wide open
And I promise that I'm swishin like a baller on Listerine
Niggas so fresh to the flow. Assessin the flow
I'm passin yo assessments and more. The lessons you wrote
And I ain't got time for education
But mama says if I don't go to college, then I ain't gonna make it
Cuz she gone take me out 'fore BIG's killer gets the chance
Performed on my prom night I never got the chance to dance
Last year around I got arrested, stealin some shorts
To wear to football practice, workin on my DB stance
Now I'm tryna be all up on your TV stands
You got in your basement, why is the studio vacant?
"Is Lucas gonna make it?" "I don't know let's wait to see"
All the women out the cut like "Hey yo B, remember me?
We hooked up, that time in the hallways durin first period
And all I wanna do is feel Eddie Murphy delirious"
Killin it? Maybe that means that I'm meant to fear the shit
Light it up and life get up to claimin that I'm serious
(Hook)
But nah I'm just a comedian
Nigga life is funny I'm hittin it like the median
Forget the bullshit, and the media and all of that
Light some shit, one night some shit and feel it like a heart attack
[Beat switch: Radio tuning]
(Verse Two)
See my sanity breakin! Tell me, who are you phasin?
I made it this far by faith. You made it this far by hatin
Now what's a god to a titan? What's a game to a Tron?
These bitches dressed up like niggas my competitions Mulan
I got these niggas excited like you preparin for prom
Makin beats and I'm rhymin. The Kendrick Polo la Don
How did it come to this? Lyrical cannible
Metaphor heavyweight. Y'all childish like Danimals
I'm just lookin for somethin to keep the cold out my veins
I think I found it in you, so darling, please won't you stay
I'm tryna hold on to forever by a web and it's crazy
But soon enough it'll snap. Like rest in peace to Gwen Stacy
But how can I return to Spider-Man knowin it was my issue
Holdin it in's my problem, I know that it's got you pissed, too
Knowing this is my venom, burnin like it should do
I'm wreckin it like construction and blowin it like a tissue
Who's left to impress?
You niggas hate me. Admit it. It's not like I ever stress
I just make music that's happy. Nah nigga too soon
I'm a goblin, you a goon, I'm an iPod you're a Zune
Whoa
So what's left to look forward to?
But nights we won't remember and people we don't forget
Memories to admire and mornings that we regret
But promise me you'll be with me at the end of all these sets
And if time becomes a factor, let it fade out like it oughta
Got my home in my heart and trust me, demons wearin Prada
And angels wearin sweats and t-shirts, I played in the game
Lord let me stay where I oughta. Never lose me to fame
Keep memories vivid and keep my dreams very lucid
And if it all ends tomorrow than let me lose it to music
And if it all ends tomorrow than let me lose it to music...
