Chorus
You thought I fell off, they thought I went soft, they say what they can, cause I do what I want, come back every time, they still act surprised, bodies drop at the top tell em I’ve arrived, Tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em I’ve arrived, 17 had a dream that kept me alive, tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em I’ve arrived, 17 had a dream now I’m living mine
Verse 1
Came up off a dream and a laptop, open doors for the team like a Bellhop, used to cruise South Park when my shift end, spark spliffs while I shift through the west end, now I show up and they all got questions, back home and you know how the stress gets, tell the kids from the town with a passion, I’m the proof you can move to the masses, ya they gonna tell you who to be. Lies! Don’t nobody wanna see you free. Why! Everybody saying who to be now they’re telling everybody so everybody repeats, living in a bubble where trouble is self made, everyone a lil sorry for playing it too safe, so they want to keep you living with them in the same cage, gotta show em that we’re tired of living the same way! Small town raised but I got it moving cause I knew I had to break that mold, mindstate from a high place had to shift plates to be Grand as the peaks back home, shift gears when I hit tears on my 10th year paying rent in the game now I live here, all it took was the pain and the passion, what a way to come back from the ashes
Chorus
You thought I fell off, they thought I went soft, they say what they can, cause I do what I want, come back every time, they still act surprised, bodies drop at the top tell em I’ve arrived, Tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em I’ve arrived, 17 had a dream that kept me alive, tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em, tell em I’ve arrived, 17 had a dream now I’m living mine
Verse 2
Futuristic
I arrived , No not to my surprise, Knew I would blow since I was 5, Now that boy shine like firefly, Can’t dim the light when I hold the flame, Coach rappers now I know the game, Straight jacket cuz the flow insane, Real life, how I wrote the page, My story got started with catchin bodies, Bend the industry I spit Pilates, Paper stacking underneath the mattress now, can’t fold it no Origami, Know who surround me only day 1s, Fake what I stay away from, Safe around me better stay from round me if you hatin on me you get tapped up, Get paid just to walk in the club, pop me a bottle don’t talk to a scrub, if u show love then it’s reciprocated my people done made it we came from the mud, remember the days I was making a dub now it’s Kinkos the way that my paper is up, been droppin bars since the man was a boy I was writing my rhymes when I played in the tub
