Tyrik Tell - Plan B

Tell-A-Vision
When I was born I knew I had a gift
The loud mouth, class clown, walking with a dip
They asked what you wanna do, I mean what can I say
I looked at them and told them NBA, to they face
I knew when I was on the court I had the killa J
The teacher pulled me to the side and told me straight away
Tyrik that’s a cool dream but that’s unlikely
You need a plan B and that was messing up my psyche
Then I picked up the pen and pad and started writing
Career day came, everybody looked excited
I wanna be a Doctor, a lawyer, an actor
What you wanna be, I looked at them and said a rapper
People looked at me and then the room was full of laughter
You have a better chance with Vince Carter on the Raptors
Lunchtime came, people still was with the chatter
Until I free-styled then their jaws hit the platter
Yeah you're super nice, but Tyrik it doesn’t matter
My dream shattered, they said I need to get a backup
Surprised, I replied, 9-5 isn’t me
Just know ain’t no plan B, or no plan C
Nah, cause ain’t no plan B (Uh-uh)
I hate to tell you, ain’t no plan B
Aye yo, I gotta risk it all to feed my family
I know you hate it, that I made it
You can’t stand me
Ha Ha, nah nah
Cause ain’t no plan B (Uh-uh)
I hate to tell you, ain’t no plan B
Aye yo, I gotta risk it all to feed my family
I know you hate it, that I made it
You can’t stand me
Uh, well, maybe they was right
So I focused on hooping because, ball is life
Elite camps invited me because I played so well
Then that year I tore my ACL, what the hell
Oooooo Kitty, what a pity, now I’m back at home
The love and passion for basketball, it just left and gone
I’m all alone, pen and a pad, just writing songs
And plan B was sports medicine, study bones
Physical therapy taught me I ain’t like that
I rather rock a crowd, screaming loud, where the mic at
Kick me when I’m down, best believe ima strike back
Cause lyrically, I can change the world how I write raps
Yeah so just know
That ain’t no plan B (Uh-uh)
I hate to tell you, ain’t no plan B
Aye yo, I gotta risk it all to feed my family
I know you hate it, that I made it
You can’t stand me
Ha Ha, nah nah
Cause ain’t no plan B (Uh-uh)
I hate to tell you, ain’t no plan B
Aye yo, I gotta risk it all to feed my family
I know you hate it, that I made it
You can’t stand me
Got older, confidence increasing
Guessed on the SAT because I didn’t need it
Rapping to the crowd didn’t need mathematics
So when I got the test, I opened it and laughed at it
Teachers mad at it, but it just isn’t vital
Made a song about America that went viral
My DM pile, was full of people showing
Me a lot of love telling me to keep going
Teezy gang growing, I released clothing
Tellavisionmerch.com, we exploding
All the haters soaking, in misery moping
Cause plan A, was my soulmate, we eloping
Oh
So nah, ain’t no plan B (Uh-uh)
I hate to tell you, ain’t no plan B
Aye yo, I gotta risk it all to feed my family
I know you hate it, that I made it
You can’t stand me
Ha Ha, nah nah
Cause ain’t no plan B (Uh-uh)
I hate to tell you, ain’t no plan B
Aye yo, I gotta risk it all to feed my family
I know you hate it, that I made it
You can’t stand me
