Kai-Alexander - The Beginnings

I started playing the piano when I was about 5 or 6 years old
Largely in part due to my mom and dad at the time
The beginnings because
Piano's weren't cheap
And they were hustler's so
And there was a few monumental times when
I couldn't go outside to play because I hadn't practiced yet

One Day a few of my friends came over and was asking if I could
Come out to play and my dad said no he cant come out he aint
Practiced yet
You Gotta Practice
I was so mad I went to the piano I said finally went over to the piano
And started banging on it with my fists
I thought I was gonna get my ass whooped
As me and my brother usually did on a daily basis
Or slapped up side the head at that age
We didn't really get whooped yet
Um
Anyway

Well three hours later I got off the piano and asked my dad if I can go
Out to play now before it got to dark
And the niggah said Yeah you couldve went out two hours an fifty five minutes ago
I just wanted you to play something
That's all
I was like this mutha F
But after that

The reason I play piano is largely due to my mom
She facilitated and helped me cultivate it
And that's what I wanted to do

I studied classical music first
Um But first I played by ear and they would come to the school and hear
All the songs that I leaned and they could not believe it because they
Never knew I even played piano

So it was like I guess four five years my mom would always ask what I wanted
For my birthday what I wanted for Christmas
What I wanted for this
What I wanted for that
And she said I would always say a piano
Aah So eventually she bought one
