Once Upon a Rhyme
DT
It begun in the late mid 90’s, when a king was born
The journey's been way back before thy kingdom come
During the times of 2pac's freedom songs
Nas’s Illmatic was already on air
Momma gave birth to me and the fam was prepared
Dad's hand on the rear, good drive so we were never scared
Took my first steps as a toddler with my leather pets
Grew up fast, baby class introduced me to nursery rhymes
All the times, I memorized a lot of cunny lines
Like twinkle twinkle little star, Ma inspired me and my Mummy's fine
My morning shine, helped me to wipe the dishes before I grew
22 months later, I became a big bro, not a longer the only child cus I had a brother too
The responsibility of been a model inspired me soon
It was tasking though, but I had no clue
That it was gonna keep coming, so what could I do?
Kept growing up, my Uncle had a lot of Hip-hop tapes
50Cents, Big Pun, Jay-Z and every week he brings more tapes
Not for my sake, but when he's out I have a sneak listen
As a young lad, Ether and Takeover were the strict disses
Learnt that you could be very expressive on sick beatings
But with did I know? I was carried away as I moved with the flow
By the end of primary school, I was already exposed
Coupled with the environment that I grew up in
But never graduated from going to school with mama's cool muffin
Was too lucky, in highschool I met fellows with same passion
You know what happens to like minds? Like magnet - the attraction
Instead of skinny jeans and tights shirts, baggy stuffs were our fashion
Mimicking HipHop music videos, the slangs, gang signs and all the actions
We want the mansion, SS1 had the first studio experience about love and making it
It was like my mouth was in the loo - I was saying shits
Already had a couple of baby Sis, so I was careful in the wordings
Hitting the booth became a habit as I got used to recording
Couple of singles came out, dad didn't like I had demons in boarding
The flows were flooding, 20 years after I was born I dropped my debut project
Dark tape, proved that I had taste and communicated my progress
Oh yes, no be today lyricism kept me away from on top a crime
These bars took me way back, so once upon a rhyme
