"storytime, Pt. I" lyrics
FLY
Storytime
Gather round, gather round
It won't be long
All I need is 2 minutes and 47 seconds of your time
Listen closely
Let me tell you about a kid from New York
That had a dream to be a rapper
His mama worked in retail and his daddy was a trapper
His daddy used to make his escovitch using red snapper
They both had dressed him nicely so the kid was always dapper
His dad snuck him to Canada, mom said he a kidnapper
The police tried to tackle him like they were all linebackers
His daddy was a G like he was playing for the Packers
Unless it was Excelsior he never liked them crackers
If he got stuck up north he would've have proly been a Raptor
His daddy was a hustler and never was a slacker
His mom took him to MSG with tickets from a scalper
He had to squint his eyes to see with seats below rafters
The kid wasn't complaining cause he got just what he wanted
They could've had some better some his mom couldn't afford it
He couldn't tell you who he saw his vision was distorted
Unless he knew the song he couldn't tell who was performing
But none of that had mattered cause he came for the headliner
He bootleged all their albums kept them in a CD binder
The thing that had inspired him the artist was a minor
That grew up with his mother and was both lf their providers
His mama worked so hard so that was something he admired
The kid had the same goal to see his mama love retired
Cause when his mom came from work at night she seem so tired
Seem like she loved her job until the day that she got fired
Economy was terrible the kid was getting older
The boy began to hustle cause the weight was on his shoulders
His mom began to change from being warm to feeling colder
He tried to numb pain by him avoiding being sober
His father didn't like the fact that he became a stoner
Was getting tired of him always asking for a loaner
The boy was just an only child and always was a loner
He gave his heart to music would have thought he was a donor
The labels started calling up to say they wanna to sign him
He got a couple offers but it wasn't the best timing
His fanbase started growing he was talented at rhyming
A diamond in the rough but he just need some refining
Career it started picking up he a made couple dollars
His father wished he would have stayed in school and been a scholar
His mama told him that you ain't getting richer then why bother
He told her life's a bitch you gotta keep her on a collar
His father saw potential in his dream so he supported
The boy felt motivated by the love and kept recording
His mama didn't really seem enthused but he ignored it
She couldn't find her green card and thought she would get deported
He told his mom don't worry bout a thing he'll get it sorted
At times she was a pessimist and needed reassurance
His dad said if somebody give you drugs don't ever snort it
Because he seen some people lose themselves when he transported
The boy had his first concerts and the crowds were always clapping
His mom began to realize her son was good at rapping
Was glad he kept believing cause he knew he'd make it happen
Their little boy began to make a living off his passion
That's tuff
I hope y'all enjoyed that
That was first of many
So stay tuned for part two
FLY!
