Origin Story

[Chorus]
This the origin story (Yeah, origin, yeah, origin, yeah, yeah)
This the origin story (Origin, yeah)

[Verse 1]
I was really acting up, but now I'm really mature
We grew up poor with the palettes on the floor
And now I'm sure that future me be glad that I work so hard so we can tour
It's only the beginning, y'all don't know what's there in store
When it's yours, I'm the best that master the flow they wasn't asking for
These rappers in this game scared, 'cause I'ma wipe the floor
I'm kinda sore, I'm a connoisseur for carrying this rap game the way I do, it's a shame, ay
It was 2002, March 17
My momma finally pushed me out and yeah, she felt relief
She looked me in my eyes and saw something so heavenly
It crossed to us, said they was never given up on to me and honestly
I'm just tryna build my intellect when I'm in effect
And I respect all the greats that paved the road for who were next
And I know in a fence and not to take that that's respected
Y'all connect, don't not no neglect and you was not correct (Nah)

[Chorus]
This the origin story (Yeah, origin, yeah, origin, yeah, yeah)
This the origin story (Origin, yeah)
This the origin story (Yeah, origin, yeah, origin, yeah, yeah)
This the origin story (Origin, yeah)
This the origin story!

[Verse 2]
"All these youngin's, man, all they want is a chain"
But not if you realize that they obsessing with chain
And that's a shame, dang
That you don't see no bigger picture
No, you don't get it now, but I'm here to make it clearer
You be blaming everybody, but just look up in the mirror
You don't even realize that your end is getting nearer
You and me a sinner, at this table having dinner
You be claiming you a killer, like there ain't nobody iller
I'm just working for the future while I'm suffering today
Y'all just worry 'bout some chains
I'm just tryna build a state
On the lights that y'all jus' live
I'm sorry, I cannot relate no more
How I used to be, I can't believe that he the same lil' boy
Y'all gon' fill my soul through this in the face from place to place and I just stay and I display
I work harder and I don't play
The past made me who I am today
And that life that I lived, I can never erase (Nah)

[Chorus]
This the origin story (Yeah, origin, yeah, origin, yeah, yeah)
This the origin story (Origin, yeah)
This the origin story (Yeah, origin, yeah, origin, yeah, yeah)
This the origin story (Origin, yeah)
