Siple - California Kid

Just another kid trying to make it out the bay
Remember back in high school when I used to say
Ima make it out and bring the whole team out to play
Slowly crushed by the fact I had chase a degree
For I get to see what the universe had in store me
Hard work and a lot of dedication right Gary Vee
Not to mention patience swear it's all in store for me like a shopping spree
So I sit back, make this music and just believe
Hoping one day I can be the inspiration people need
This world is for the taking but most importantly
You're the only person stopping you from being free
So get out your head and learn to clear your mind
There is no single way to make it so walk your line
Like Johnny Cash, make the rules and run the game
Middle fingers up cause I'm screaming fuck the fame

Just another kid
Tryna make it big
Rapping through the night
Tryna make a hit
No one notices
How he workiing
But he staying up
Repping California
Just another kid
Tryna make it big
Rapping through the night
Tryna make a hit
No one notices
How he workiing
But he staying up
Repping California

Know I gotta switch it up
No I can't get enough
While you always acting tough
No one falls for your bluff
Yes I'm always working
I ain't got no time to discuss
Thing that's don't matter to me
Or stuff about someone
They say great minds
Yea they think alike
My thoughts always spin
Like a constant bike
Wanna break up in the game
And just hit the mic
They like to say I'm crazy
Nike says that they're right
So I'm pushing every single day trying to show the world
Twenty years in the making that I finally got this pearl
Happier than a kid on Christmas Day
Wishing I could pass this feeling on constantly
Wake up every morning and remind myself that I'm blessed
Get to do this thing everyday that's got me obsessed
Try my best to not let every little thing get me stressed
Even when my days don't go right I know there's left

Just another kid
Tryna make it big
Rapping through the night
Tryna make a hit
No one notices
How he workiing
But he staying up
Repping California
Just another kid
Tryna make it big
Rapping through the night
Tryna make a hit
No one notices
How he workiing
But he staying up
Repping California

Always on the look out tryna find some inspiration
Locked up in my room for days now that's dedication
Feeling like I got to get it all before my expiration
All these bars you would have thought incarceration
But that's not the case
I'm just doing me
Chasing down my dreams
Rapping so fluently
Seven years ago my words would barely match the beat
Now all my songs are filled with nothing but sixteens
Got me feeling good
Got me feeling great
Got me feeling healthy serving beats on my dinner plate
Crazy how I dream even though I stay awake
Working nine to five coming home to my escape
Tell me what you know about flipping burgers
Listening to bitch as people as I take their orders
Tell me what you know about cleaning toilets
Working late just to get berated in the morning

Just another kid
Tryna make it big
Rapping through the night
Tryna make a hit
No one notices
How he workiing
But he staying up
Repping California
Just another kid
Tryna make it big
Rapping through the night
Tryna make a hit
No one notices
How he workiing
But he staying up
Repping California
