Flashback

[Verse]
Hit you up with flashback, a white kid with a snapback
Still wearing his backpack, even though it was half pass
Any one of his classes, far away from the students
Even if he wasn't in the building, he was still schooling

Back up a little, to where it all began
On a bus ride home from one of his games
Had kids in the back, spitting some rhymes
Then they offered him to try one time

So he stood up, was embarrassed a little
Trying to rack up something cool from his mental
Couldn't think of any lines, he started to stutter
There was anticipation in the eyes of the others

So he took a breathe, and spit his first bars
Never did his friends laugh that hard
He did so bad but for some reason
He fell in love with that feeling

Soon after that, he needed some more
So he started getting in battles, always getting better than before
Racking up wins and the respect
Always looking for the next one to win against

Life was so good, hitting freestyles in the back seat
Even had a bestfriend that could kill on a beat
He felt like he was lyrically unstoppable
Leaps and bound over every one of his obstacles

Going to his friends house, staying up past 5
Recording in the closet with a twenty dollar mic inside it
He was just a kid trying to prove something to no one
It was just something he didn't know how to give up

You can still find him writing all this time
Still putting his heart on paper one line at a time
Even if he's not on stage ripping the mic apart
He's still going to be the best at his art
