lyrics

[Intro]
Let’s take it back, way back
To when I was a young cracker jack
Poetically influenced, looking through the cracks of a culture
To peep a fine specimen named Hip-Hop
She stole my heart. She gave me a voice
And the story goes a little something like this…

[Verse 1]
You know you had me at day one
Couldn’t wait to see you cuz you got my heart chasing
We would make sweet melodies in all
Summer and the spring plus the winter and the fall
There really was no stopping us now
I would love to show you off in front of the whole crowd
And they would scream straight reaching for you
I would kind of get jealous not thinking it through
Didn’t matter at the time you’re melody and rhyme
The reason that I shined you could see it in my eyes
You taught me how live life and voice my problems
All you wanted was my feelings and every time you got’em
Had this rush of adrenaline I’m telling you it’s awesome
On the top of the world having dreams of us flossin’
But then it all came tumbling down
Found me buried in the avalanche screaming out loud, sayin’

[Chorus]
Why did you have to take my soul? How could you leave me down here?
Don’t you know that I’m all alone? With all my pain and all these fears?
The only thing I want to know whoa…
How could you do that huh? (2x) Why would you do that love? How could you do that huh?

[Verse 2]
…Oh yeah, now I get it
Money in the bank got you looking all suspicious
Guess them talks that we had went swimming with the fishes
And the love we was making turned sour not delicious
I guess it’s true when it comes to slim pickens
That we got to take our time and use our intuition
…But I was lost straight moving at light speed
My love went cold and it made that road icy
But now I think I got my grip again
Speak my heart without a care just like a simpleton
Got plans and a purpose I can implement
Use my feet and my hands to build in increments
Got a vocal tone speaking so intimate
All praise to the Creator who be in-fi-nite
Hip-Hop was my lover now my in-stru-ment
To do what I tell it like a lig-a-ment, c’mon!

[Outro]
I was a slave, but now I am set free
You see, these chains are no longer custom fit to me
I’ve been redeemed, emancipated, and released from captivity
I am free to roam as I please
I’m not a robot or a puppet on a string
I have no affiliation with this industry
