Love Like This

I was 18, first time I ever rapped I was saying back then I'd put my city on the map What the fuck is hip-hop? I didn't even know Wanna make shit pop? Only one way to grow, is to know Why the hell you even doing this I had to answer that while I was pursuing this Too many cats want the money and the fame Jeffrey Epstein, y'all are just abusing this Back then I didn't know it was the right path Time passed, and even kicked my ass Make sure you read the terms and conditions And my prediction, it's gonna be a sacrifice, it won't entice A long game of cat and mice, and rolling dice (What else?) And failure, setback, major comeback, fine print No emotion, only business, I'm split Between being a pussy and a real copout Never touch the sky you heard 'em say Or be a full-time college dropout With no more parties in L.A. I ain't never been in love like this I ain't never been in love like this Cuz it's rap homie I ain't never had a voice like this I ain't never made a choice like this So it's a wrap homie I ain't never been in love like this I ain't never been in love like this Cuz it's rap homie I ain't never had a voice like this I ain't never made a choice like this So it's a wrap homie Sixth grade, remember the name Taking math at the high school, 50 Cent on my iTunes Verses on the paper they would crumple and tear From corporate ambience to the rumble and snare Take a basic math equation, deriving the roots Minus b plus-minus the square-root of b-squared minus 4ac Over 2a, the details of my methods know the real from the fake You the one homie, yeah, Black Panther you Lebron homie Black Mamba you the Don homie, yeah TMC I just begun homie I am the one homie You the one homie, yeah, Black Panther you Lebron homie Black Mamba you the don homie, yeah TMC I just begun homie I am the one homie I ain't never been in love like this I ain't never been in love like this Cuz it's rap homie I ain't never had a voice like this I ain't never made a choice like this So it's a wrap homie I ain't never been in love like this I ain't never been in love like this Cuz it's rap homie I ain't never had a voice like this I ain't never made a choice like this So it's a wrap homie The first thing that I found was a Logic mixtape, yeah Crazy shit, it was all a mistake I ain't ever heard music this great, Young Sinatra Years later I'm Young Mufasa Fell in love with the lyricism, colorful prism Behind my bars I am imprisoned, fatal collision God made a blueprint and mailed it to me So without a third eye you could never see my vision 19 was a formative year Showing off is a form of fear Oh you don't know what you wanna do Or who you wanna be Oh so that's why you became an engineer I never wanna take the safe way, that's what they say A desk job for a pay day I weighed the risk and reward, you could feel the outcome It only works if they buy my album Never signing my name by an X like Malcolm I have a dream, but how come? Why rap? The answer I had to undress Context is the N on your compass Or the end of your fantasy, from what I can see These are the questions that I conceived Deliberate for 9 months like a pregnant wife In 9 years I'll deliver you a better life I ain't never been in love like this I ain't never been in love like this Cuz it's rap homie I ain't never had a voice like this I ain't never made a choice like this So it's a wrap for real I ain't never been in love like this I ain't never been in love like this Cuz it's rap homie I ain't never had a voice like this I ain't never made a choice like this So it's a wrap for real So it's a wrap for real So it's a wrap for real
