DreLaylow - Have It Back

Started rapping in elementary it made sense to me
How you could describe life with metaphors and similes
With a beat and your voice you'd make a beautiful symphony
Rap and basketball was my two loves polygamy
Split my love down the middle it was symmetry
But rap would stick with me paint audio imagery
Cyphers in the hallways skipping school assemblies
But somehow I knew that this shit was really meant for me
I'd sit in class like is this really for me
I mean I'm only here cuz I'm expected to be
I used to read and write exceptionally
Now I'm looking for an exceptional beat
Then I'd rehearse a verse when I'm supposed to be doing research
Sold my soles for a mic I guess that's why my feet hurt
Used to be only the talented now everybody rap
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
Got book smart then I jumped off the porch
Got street smart now I'm trynna get a Porsche
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
Got book smart then I jumped off the porch
Got street smart now I'm trynna get a Porsche
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
Whole fam is looking at me for help
I want to but can't even help myself
In the studio missing family functions
Getting drunk nightly to help me function
Best thing I ever did was do me
Now I'm stuck in my zone like a 2 3
Skipped class to do music thought I was a fool
I had to follow my heart I wasn't feeling school
Class graduated so I'm feeling minuscule
Still trynna go hammer I'm feeling like a tool
Half man half ass cuz I'm a feeling like a mule
All the game gave me was bitches I feel like beneful
Damn I feel I been a fool
Everybody proud of me they think I'm really cool
Followed my dreams how selfish of me
Shoulda been a lawyer kept my niggas safe in these streets
But I'm on dick and I'm just raping these beats
Facts I swear it ain't far fetched that I snap
I did it for the art now its for the fame whenever they rap
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
Got book smart then I jumped off the porch
Got street smart now I'm trynna get a Porsche
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
Got book smart then I jumped off the porch
Got street smart now I'm trynna get a Porsche
I used to want this shit forever y'all can have it back
