Introduction

ok new to rap pad so this my first rap

basically to start off I never been in the trap

I was raised in San Antonio with my family

had my dad and my mom to comfort me

now I'm not gonna lie I hated Hip-hop

hated all the rappers and the shit they dropped

but then one day I had enough

so I started writing, just to show my stuff

I had a black and white composition

wrote how I would kill the competition

I said to myself this ain't half bad

but I made my first mistake when I showed my dad

"Son what's this bullshit your writing about

how yo rhymes so hot you causing droughts

betta clear this rap shit from out yo head

and live this in your dreams and go to bed"

Damn, how could he be so cruel

I was only fourteen, I wasn't acting a fool

I made a promise on that fateful day

that I was gonna be a rapper and get paid

so I studied the greats from Slick Rick to Kane

Boogie Down, Rakim and N.W.A

My flow got better, as I practiced

read dictionaries forwards and backwards

learned how to rhyme in multisyllabic time

I was doing fine, with mad shine and no word of crime

but then I had an epiphany in my living room

I was watching boondocks until the music went boom

it was during the scene when Huey fought Bushido Brown

The rappers vocals was so profound

who was this MC who slaughtered words like Nas

The beat was very jazzy but sort of odd

I looked online to find the source

and on Wikipedia I found a Force

called Madvillain and the song All CAPS

why the hell was this not considered mainstream rap

Madlib conducted beats like a scientist

and MF DOOM was a character, I couldn't resist

they told stories, made visions, seduced women

straight pimpin, So villain, they was living

This is it I said, I knew my destiny

I wanted to rip Mics and become a MC

Like DOOM and QUAS, with my lyrical knowledge

sending fools to school with no money for college

so from that day I been writing my legacy

with my pen and pad, good luck in forgetting me

spelling out greatness now, as I type this excellent

and that's my story and I came to represent

I AM HERE
