The Sprout Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now sit back and roll an L
I got a story to tell

Listen well, as I go back to the days where I wished for wealth
But the success is near

I can smell as you hear
The dope shit that appears to be banging inside your ear
Only 8 years old
With an older Brother, who was spitting fire, ready to die
Playing Biggie, inspired

And that is who I admire
Beatboxing till I was tired
Figured I wanted rapping to be my job
And I'd be hired, by the age of 14
Doing pretty big things, signed to Universal Records
It wasn't all that it seemed

What a dream I was living, for a short amount of time
Considered a shadow of my Bro, they thought I couldn't rhyme
But now it's my time to shine, and I'm headed for the limelight
Tryna' get the covers, the awards and 5 mic's
Going far, so all you haters that doubted me and despised
I'll eat you alive like a Klondike bar

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Drew told me to kill em'
So I'mma do so
And ever since I've been spitting venom and dropping Nukes on em'
Niggas tryna' catch up, but I hit a juke on em'
Cause I'm making nasty ass beats and then I puke on em
These fools want me to produce their mixtape
But I ain't doing it for free, my G, I got a fixed rate
Got more flavor than season upon a chuck steak
And I'm a greedy nigga, so I'm eating her on this plate
Doin' good, ain't no time for the mistakes
My girl tryna' get her fucking finger and her wrist flaked
So I'mma do whatever it takes
But if she act up, I'll replace her and call it misplaced
Replaced by another Mrs
I'm sorry but I'm headed for the top and the digits
And if you tryna' stop, well I'm getting better
Believe, that the other shawty' gonna give me the top and them digits
And I ain't tryna' be popular enough to cop Midget, boy
I want that shit to smell like skunk before I hit it
I'm seriously rapping to fire em', won't ever quit em'
Stomping whack rappers mummies like they got fire
Quick, get on your job, motherfucker
A boss in the making, no losses for the taking
I'm rearranging the game, and want y'all to say my name
In a sentence including fame
Because, this lil' nigga is spitting nothing but flame
Bitch
[Outro]
Yep
It's Perrion by the way
And I made this fucking beat
Faggot
