Shayde - T.M.S

They wanna know who is Shayde
They wanna know how I got the name
They wanna know if I can change the game
They wanna know a lot but just study my waves
I can't tell you I know everything
I ain't perfect but on everything
Good or bad I learn from everything
Still learning from me and you'll see how it fits the grand scheme of things
Born Quentin Angelo Blackman 88 born
90s raised Millennial made into this golden age
It all started round 17
When I was looking for solid rap name and I was selling weed
Back then I went by Young Killa
Right before the Dipset days and Cam was that nigga
On my Juelz shit bandana with the forces
Lux tall T the best when a fresh tee gave you purpose
Anyway they called me Killa for short
But over time I ain't like the negative connotation wit the thought
Not that I wouldn't it but I didn't
Rather than feel like a copy
I revised my original image
Throughout life people ruled me as the cool guy
Always known through school but ain't have a popular mind
Charming to the girls but had anxiety
The one friend you came to for wisdom it was natural for me
My gifts in art gave me presence
My spirit in heart gave me resonance
Those friends around taught me lessons
My experience reflect them impressions and
They wanna know who is Shayde
They wanna know how I got the name
They wanna know if I can change the game
They wanna know a lot but just study my waves
I can't tell you I know everything
I ain't perfect but on everything
Good or bad I learn from everything
Still learning from me and you'll see how it fits the grand scheme of things
After going through a phase and finding a name to fit me
I could have used Q but wanted something more unique
Thought about my character and how people viewed me
They'd always say I'm laid back calm cool usually
Them two words stuck around I started seeing a pattern
This where my concept of manifestation began to happen
Given my creative skills and rays of expression
Son gon' build a world and leave distinctive direction
Shade was the word I chose to play off
But 5 letters wasn't enough for me to spell to the beat
Around that time I had questions bout life and death
So Y was the letter I chose to use in between
But since growth was my rest point all them days I would ponder
Holding the stem of my pen I thought about the Lotus flower
Now I'm 19 bout to graduate High School
It was Shayde with young in the front til' I hit 21
Went from being the quiet one in the class
To having the loudest voice in my craft when niggas thought they could brag
Like what the sun is to earth shade is to light
Like what questions are to answers its the reason I write they're unsaid
They wanna know who is Shayde
They wanna know how I got the name
They wanna know if I can change the game
They wanna know a lot but just study my waves
I can't tell you I know everything
I ain't perfect but on everything
Good or bad I learn from everything
Still learning from me and then you'll see how it fits the grand scheme of things
