Yeah, yeah
Sometimes I often think about the days I used to fuck up
Pocket full of pingers, Alizé to fill the cup up
Spit a couple bars on instrumentals till the sun up
Never thought we'd get to here a youngin on the come up
I was ten years old when I wrote that first rap
Inspired by the greats like Eazy E and Tupac
Talkin' 'bout some hoes and how we ride in Cadillacs
Shit, I ain't know what all the meant, but I just knew that shit slaps
So I learnt to get my flow on, beats I used to throw on
Learnt that I could talk my shit, the poetry and so on
Did it for the love, I never thought I'd get my dough on
Never thought this industry was something I could grow on
But I made this shit a passion, daily with the rappin'
Dead rappers in my ear was like the genie to Aladdin
Granting every wish, I fantasised what coulda happened
Young fulla with a dream like I gotta get it crackin'
I was only fourteen when I hit my first studio sesh
And from that moment, man, I had to progress
To compete with the best
With every beat, I spit a verse from the chest
There ain't no rapper that compare to me yet
Take the time to reflect
Old habits that I had to reject
Was getting harder for myself to neglect
I had to keep 'em in check
Lotta shit they ain't talked 'bout yet
So let me get into this story in depth
And yo, let me take 'em back
To where this story began
Little Jody, cousin Cody, and their best friend Ben
2019, when my name first rang
And man I'd hate to see that moment again
'Cause shit got tough
I thought that all the love was enough
But through these eyes, they couldn't tell I was fucked
See, I was running a muck
Wasn't seen without a drink in my cup
Man, I was looking for a way to get up
But I was slowly on the road to becoming like my father
Daughter on the way, I wish I coulda been smarter
Pressure with this music shit was tearing me apart
I had to change my life around 'cause all my days were getting darker
Just a youngin with a passion, I ain't think that I deserve it
All my fuckin' life, I never thought that I was worth it
Now they pulling me up in the street wanting pictures with their peeps
Yelling out like, "Kobie Dee, my bra, you perfect" (Fuck)
Bruh, if only you knew
All the shit I had to change to see the person you do
A lot of people wouldn't last to walk a day in my shoes
So, now I'm grateful for the life that I choose
I was only twenty-one when I had my first child
Twenty-two in rehab it changed my whole life
Now these little fullas asking me about advice
That's the reason why I gotta plant seeds when I write
See, now I'm twenty-six and my life's a little different
Just had a son, now this change is persistent
Think about the past and how it seems so distant
But one quick mistake could take me back in an instant, huh
Yeah
I said I think about the past and how it seems so distant
But one quick mistake could take me back in an instant
