Playmaker

Man … been chasing this dream for a long time
This ain’t about no money, this ain’t about no fame … I just wanna be recognized for the great that I am y’all
Forreal … Sometimes I wanna quit this shit but it’s something about it that got a hold on me … so I keep going … I love you hip hop … for you I can’t stop!

[Verse I]
This music shit it help me vent and be a open book
Most wit Talent get slept on and overlooked
We either Rap or Play ball but we misunderstood
And nah I ain’t a hood nigga but I’m from the hood
Music culture changed my life for that I’m very grateful
And we ain’t wait to get signed we made our own label
We get love and hate coming in from every angle
You see my name on them banners, now let this star spangle … thank you

[Chorus]
Even when times get hard you gotta keep it pushing
… never spend all yo money gotta keep a cushion
Back when my momma was giving out ass whoppings
I started writing raps now look how far it took us
Real talk boy we problem solving playmakers
Won’t stop til my family live on 80 acres
This rap shit gotta work it’s either now or later
Let’s get this paper !

[Verse II]
The year was 2001 or 2 I can’t remember
My memory slightly vague so let me paint the picture
Didn’t find my calling it found me I was a lil nigga
Back when we was wearing J’s and Tommy Hilfigure
I was chilling watching Martin play Big Momma House
Eating cereal jumping all on my momma couch
Remember looking at the screen it was Jermaine and Bow
Bounce wit me video product of Doggystyle
Remember thinking wow …. I wanna be like him
Starting writing raps performed at talent shows in gyms
Memorized my rhymes so I could spit em for my friends
Practice makes perfect now I’m the nicest with pen!
That’s a Win

[Chorus]
Even when times get hard you gotta keep it pushing
… never spend all yo money gotta keep a cushion
Back when my momma was giving out ass whoppings
I started writing raps now look how far it took us
Real talk boy we problem solving playmakers
Won’t stop til my family live on 80 acres
This rap shit gotta work it’s either now or later
