The Year

Intro:

[Radio segment sample from UJFM, following Lwansta airplay]

[1st Verse: Lwansta]

Started as a hobby
Now we're nominees
We prayed about this shit now we just got up off our knees
Not the nomination but denomination in the streets
We just wanna make it, and take it to heights and overseas
And do exactly what we dreamed off
Like a couple years ago
Cause we've been out on this fucking hustle for a couple years or so
But I'm stuck in this degree now, cause it's something to fall back on
Cause society tells me "be on that hustle that your dad's on"
But fuck it!
First of all man I nominated and shit
That's a huge fuck in the face to those who be steady hating and shit
That crazy day that I quit, will be the fucking day that you celebrate, but that'll never happen
I'll never fall cause I stick it out I'm try'na sell a tape
And I'm independent, I need to manage
That nomination I made it happen
When all you have is a microphone and a dream you know you better make it happen my nig
I don't depend on these co-signs
It's only right that they buy the tape, and if they relate then they quote lines and I'll fuck with it
Now tell me, is someone still doubting so I can prove them wrong?
Send them a copy of NORMVL so they can choose a song
Where I was whack or was murdered on my own track
If they're claiming they found it? then I'll tell them to please put down the bong
Cause there's a reason, this Lwansta guys never's sleeping
When inspiration hits him, his fucking pen won't stop bleeding
When I claim the season? They like "You never play fair nigga"
I'm Mr. Mixtape of the Year

[Hook: Lwansta]

If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time
Trying to figure what's going on in my mind
To you, rap is just something to do
To me it's really something I could never remove, so I
I'm just try'na get a foot in
Till I'm eating from all the effort that I put in
From a hobby and now I'm up in this position
Middle finger to all the fucking opposition

[2nd Verse: Lwansta]

Started as a hobby
Now I get to play shows
It's poetry in motion ntwana, whatever I say goes
I'd like to get this trophy and take it to my dad
Put it in front of him, and tell him "dad I really wanna rap
And I can study too, just don't make me have to put it down
Cause I've been nominated twice because these people love my sound
The other guys man they fear it, they're tryna break my spirit"
If I won that spot on C-Live's song, you'd still hear it
Man I'm so proud of myself, and all that I did and all that I am
Made my mixtape of the year inside of my room with all that I have
I'm probably one of the hardest working ass independent young rappers out
Cause everything that I do I do by myself with nobody helping out, cause....
I want this, bad enough that I'll sacrifice
A couple days of my campus life
Just to be in that paradise
In that studio in my bedroom, where the magic happens (magic happens)
When all you have is a microphone and a dream you know you better make it happen my nig
I pray they get nightmares and never sleep till they're old
For every time I was slept on, and every dream I was sold
Am I a fucking joke? That's why it's so hard to take me serious?
Then I drop a track, and you act like you're not hearing this?
Well, fuck you then
I'm about to be the man now
Don't have to understand how
I'm about to make my fam proud
You don't even have to care nigga
I'm Mr. Mixtape of the Year nigga

[Hook: Lwansta]
