rap saved me Lyrics

Had a tool, but didn't know how to use it

I was only seventeen when I started recording music

Put my back against the wall, got me thinking that I was useless

Until I kept improving, that's the only thing I'm doing

I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid

Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live

Rap saved me from everything that I did

You would understand if you live the life I live

Shit is getting old, gotta fake it to you make it

Working on my own and you know I had the patience

Talking on the phone with the bro and the maintenance

In different occasions, seeing different faces

When I was on the news for the kids who needed placement

Then was lied to, thought this shit was a vacation

Over seven years is a hell of a vacation

Underestimated, never told them my location

No one understood my struggle, so I moved in silence

Bottled all my anger and that anger turned to violence

Said I am adopted, how the hell that got you wildin?

Said "It must be difficult", well you don't know the challenge

Don't impress me, you can't test me

Got these bitches, got me riding on a jet-ski

I don't fuck with y'all niggas, don't text me

Don't text me, don't you fucking text me

Had a tool, but didn't know how to use it

I was only seventeen when I started recording music

Put my back against the wall, got me thinking that I was useless

Until I kept improving, that's the only thing I'm doing

I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid

Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live

Rap saved me from everything that I did

You would understand if you live the life I live

I be rapping all the time, there's nothing that's really new to me

Working hard and sooner than later I'll own my jewelry

Go another place now, this shit is never fooling me

I'm tired of the clown talk, nigga, stop the buffoonery

I'll tell you what?

Get off my line

Next time I'll come with the stick from Shanghai

Grah, grah, grah, drive-by

Grah, grah, grah, grah, shoot 'em in the eye

Had a tool, but didn't know how to use it

I was only seventeen when I started recording music

Put my back against the wall, got me thinking that I was useless

Until I kept improving, that's the only thing I'm doing

I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid

Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live

Rap saved me from everything that I did

You would understand if you live the life I live

I've been writing these rhymes since I was a kid

Even in the hardest times when I didn't wanna live

Rap saved me from everything that I did

You would understand if you live the life I live
