Confidence
• Written by African_Thunder
Writing was my hobby when, I was just a snobby kid
Showed my stories to my kin, homies seem to rock to it
So in class I'm writing more, class always quite a bore
Always used to make me snore, focused on my page and notes
Grade twelve started to delve, deep into poetry
Slowly I'm noticing the power and the potency
Had faith in myself to create many holy V's
Maybe the holy ghost is in me and controlling me
Shout to Alex G since he got me on my rap shit
Made me feel like I could fill the page and make a classic
Showed me rap was more then money cash and asses
Showed me substance under the materials and plastic
From then on, I was a rapper slash novelist
Pen and letters helped me spell my confidence
Dropping jewel now, I'm overly opulent
I wonder if my words could make me prominent
I wonder if my words will help someone reach providence
Damn, wouldn't that be just a major accomplishment
But there is consequence in choosing to be driven
Pac said hit 'em up, and in a few months they hit him
I look into the mirror, and see someone greater
Than who I am, and that's who I am chasing
African soul flow, know most my quotes hella hot
Peep the first name, more bars than Mandela got
Tell me if you feel what I spill is real
You keep it real, then they go and turn heels
Kick their feet up in comfort of what's phoney
And when it's not homey, they turn back like you homies
You don't know me, you just want to hold me
But like the 407, you definitely not toll free
I have a wide circle with no squares who try angles
Trying to ball, I'll block and stop your sly dangles
Someone told me that, some would hold me back
Didn't know my road was empty, I chose a lonely path
I think when I began to sink into murky waters
My body froze, but my soul grows hotter
At the brink, the heat began to create steam
And like vapor I rise, up high, into the sky
Enjoying sunlight, gazing at white clouds
In flesh living with angels in bright gowns
This is how it feels raised up above high grounds
Your time is coming, my time is right now
