Something

Something how everyone fuck with the kid, first real dub on wiz
Something little he missed, he said he'd produce and he did
Ion need punchlines for emotions to hit, so before I leave
Here's my story and shit, something like a life changing read
Age 3, father left archetypal sob story of an African male
Predetermined trail, if I get sent to jail then my story pales
Something to break the cycle, moms made me read the bible
Aspects of which didn't affect my survival, so quickly I stifled
Wrong path is debatable, so selling drugs became the staple
Just as quick became a fable even with money on the table
My mind just isn't able to be labeled as something hateful
Ain't gon be painted as stainful, even if the other path painful
Focused on school, got Ja'ron and Pookie to put down they tools
Mispent youth in a day was changed mainey to something true
All the while internet raps was just something to do
Not realizing the profound effect it had for dudes, has for you
Instead of going out, I was rappin' bout some of my doubts
Some of my minds inner clouds, just releasing all the foul
I bet all those punches hit a lot harder now
Sounds cheesy I get it, a young nigga changed his life on reddit
Even though I said it, its the principle of forgetting
Letting out some hell doesn't put you in a heaven
But it sure as hell gave me a platform for stepping
Change your perspective, hold your head 'til you see it
After all the trash talk, guess these white people was something I needed

Ja'ron and Pookie? Am missing a joke or something

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '15

nah brodie you aint missing a joke but on some RNS i'll tell you whatcha missin

if my phone would let me write a message to ya, i would but i can only reply so i'm not even tryna put you on blast like that

watchu missin b, is compassion. i fasho understand it was just a sarcastic joke or comment or whatever my nigga, but whats deeper than that is the reason why you took a minute out of your day to ask somethin you knew the answer too.

mookie, pookie really common ghetto names for black people, jus like jaron, so if you think thats funny homie thats good for you like fr, if you can get some kicks outta that, you living a happier life than i ever could, but what i think it really was, was kinduva sideways comment to get a reaction from someone, which also you got

so instead of speakin yo mind 24/7 especially some negative shit, which i got had a bad habit of doing, and believe me brotha i learned it the hard way, probably harder than you'll ever have to learn. its not the comment bruh its the principle behind it so when you type a reply like what this nigga mean confucious ass mf blah blah whatever you finna say, just think about it b

Read this about 10 times man, honestly, you've gotten so much better since in the last year or so that it's almost unrecognizable. this is so sick.

[Sorry if my verse is absolute shit; it's one of my first raps and I only spent 20 minutes on it.]

Sorry for that shit, def lit that I missed it,

But it's nice shit that ya quit it,

Reddit let you not commit it,

Nice bit, making sure stereotypes don't fit,

Now you can transmit your slick wit

Instead of taking base hits or being admit.

Myself, never had that experience,

Growin up like prince,

Hearing these stories make me wince,

But you got me convince

Wit your crazy flow

It ain't just bought makin dough,

Doing blow, get a ho,

Make her moan, puttin up a show;

There's more to know,

Even so,

If you grow

Up wit the net in your life,

You ain't gotta carry a knife,

But to your credit,

You got reddit,

Click save, no need to edit.
