The Start Lyrics

Let me take you back to where it all began

When being a rapper wasn't even part of the plan

But when it came to hip-hop music I was always a fan

And I'm always going to be the best I possibly can

The journey first started back in March, 2019

The days I liked to be private and tried not to be seen

When I had an English assignment aka a presentation

I chose to write a rap with a lot of hesitation

Because I was afraid of all of the conversation

About my choice to rap in my latest situation

My rap was about my F-A-M-I-L-Y

Everything I said was true yeah, It wasn't a lie

I mean the word family can have multiple definitions

I'm glad I rapped my song and put myself in that position

I just kept telling myself it was a hip-hop audition

To treat it like a competition and ignore the opposition

I remember sitting in class with a jacket over my face

Afraid of what people would think and I felt out of place

My rap wasn't explicit it's a very rare style

It was the beginning of my hip-hop profile

But just to be heard was a positive trial

And at the end of the day I can't help myself but smile

Got my result back around 95 per cent

AKA an A grade trust me that mark I won't forget

A couple of months later we have to write a protest song

I did mine about our people who I felt were done wrong

Who through all of these years have managed to stay strong

Why can't we come together as a unit and belong

I rapped over pound cake a make or break moment

Against all the racists in our world aka my opponents

I stood up in front of the class and said what I said

Stuff as deep as how I believe all racists should be dead

In my main class I only have one proper friend

Someone I can talk to and even commend

We bonded over music it's what brought us together

And my brother from another mother is more than clever

He's also the producer the man behind the beats

The guy who supplies the heat for me week on week

He's the guy who helped me turn my dream into reality

He gave me so much help, he gave me so much charity

So thank you to all the legends who have paved the way

From hip-hop to R&B and even reggae

So please listen to me now I've got something to say

Big Son's in the game and I'm here to stay
