1997 Where the dream began

Broken headphones with a beat in my head

Porky freestyled told me yo give it chance3 Years later I′m perfecting the craft

Moved from CA to AZ really saved my ass

Went from dodging strays

To paper planes In class

Never payed attention always anxious for the weekend

We'd hit the box on a Friday and record the verses that were written. Smitten

Every bar was fire Aaron told me back then I was born a star

(Few and far)

At least it didn′t feel like that

Slept on couches carried my clothes in a backpack

Wasn't proud of that

Matter fact to be exact it's much more deeper than that more than rap

But I′ll get back to that

My fault I got way off track

Ayo Tony can you bring it back

Followed in my dads steps

Rap game got left

Worked 9 to 5 I did it just for the pay check

Respect

I wasn′t gaining doing this shit

Picked up the mic and started back on the mission

Success is all I could envision

But at that time nobody around would listen

But she did

For a moment soon after then the news hit

One month pregnant with my first born Vincent

Same time my best friend died in that collision

Whole life changed right in an instant

Buried my best friend

Lost my job in the mixing

The fuck Ima do now

This is bullshit

Hospitalized for ruptured appendix

First time using prescription medication

Losing my grip with life in a whirlwind

If that wasn't bad enough

God called her to heaven

That was 07′

Fast forward to 11'

A group of misfits that didn′t fit in came together

I opened up shop

Called it the Boom Box

Made all the over head selling stolen laptops

Humble beginnings but the ending was vicious

7 Of the original 8 left for other endevors

Left a sour taste in my mouth

A clouded head full of doubt

Had the devil on my shoulder

Searching for a different route

The local scene wasn't worth it

Just a waste of my time

Nobody was on the same level as mine

99.9% Were lying on rhymes

Had drug problems or sac religious

Using God in they lines

Best to ever do it in my city since 09′

Ahead of my time

If you don't agree you a god damn liar

At the same time my grandmother fighting for dear life dr lying to my face

Telling me she alright

How the fuck is this alright?

This can't be the end

Baby moms pulling the same bullshit again

Penning these verses releasing my demons

With my new found success my enemies want to be friends

Where does it end?
