All I need is a pad and a pen and a place to go eat
I'm at it again, I've been aiming for weeks
It's fantasy fiction I make them believe
I'm packing it, better embrace for the heat
Rapidly rapping, I'm playing for keeps
Got them spazzing on the back of the seats
One in a million, the fraction to beat
Mathematics ain't attacking these dreams
Beating the odds, they ain't even impressed
Odd for me to break even I bet
Better know I'm bout to make an imprint
Because I'm taking the game and it may get intense
Ain't nobody topping it
I got a pocket full of rockets
And I'm going up to the stars
Got a lot of confidence
And golly it's provocative
The way I'm going up, up, up from the start
I've been huffing and puffing and bumping these bars
Jumping the gate till I get a good start
Only get one shot, give me that whole shot
Until we're understood, we could not part
And you can bet your money I'm about to chase the dream
You ain't never met nobody as insane as me
And my train of thought is no vacancy
So don't put nobody on the same train as me
I've been killing it since a little kid
I'm a lyricist, are you feeling it
Am I getting in your head yet
I've been giving it 110% ever since elementary
Evidently we can not give our advice out
Got a whole team now, we shine like a lighthouse
All the lights green because you can't stop us now
You could take the keys to the cage, I'm gone bust out
Behind the scenes, it ain't calm, no we run wild
Working for weeks, but we having fun now
Going full speed, yeah we're stirring up dust now
On the same drive so don't change the bust route
Automatic like it's motor music
Pay attention, yo the flow is stupid
Made a song and put a motion to it
Go and listen to it, you'll be so influenced
Say it's dark, too much emotion to it
Just because I put my soul into it
I ain't sold my soul to make this music
I just write my feelings till this page is bruised up
Yeah, how many views does it take
Ain't no age limit, it's stupid to wait
Started in fourth grade, moving since eighth
Now that's what I call a youth in the game
Just a kid that thinks the music is great
Paving his way, think he's losing his brain
From the music, yo the dude is insane
But from my eyes, the view isn't safe
You couldn't plan the stuff I've imagined
I'm in the lab with a pen and a pad
And a vision I've had since, well, since the first time I listened to rap
And it's killing me, they're in disbelief
They ain't think the kid could do this, but he is
Constant seeking my achievements
Don't mind me, nah, I'm just dreaming
Yeah, tell me what you think of me
Hoodie up, then I'm thinking deep
Pick guitars till my fingers bleed
The music is in sync with me
That's how powerful the ink can be
Style changed now, so did he
But only behind the curtains
Hide the perfect guy I'm nervous
Shy in person, I've been working
1am and it's kinda early
Stay up late just for writer's purpose
I'm about to write a whole song in one night
Hand cramps, but it's fun, right
Eyes hurt from the sunlight
Done playing like alumni, said I'm done playing like alumni, yeah
Let that sink in
I don't know where to begin
All I need is an ink pen
Never take a day off, and don't sleep in
In a sea full of lyrics I'm knee deep in
No sleep all night in my bed again
All the thoughts going off in my head again
Oh, the devil knocking I will never let him in
Oh the devil knocking I will never let him in, yeah
Out of this world, the mic's a UFO
She's the guy that everybody's soon to know
Journey to the top so just keep rhyming
The arrival is cool, but the climb is beautiful
SHEP
