Like the hook, this verse was similar to it’s original incarnation, the topic is how I got into rap music, the original goes like
“When I was little
Never had dreams of a career rhymes and riddles
I was dribbling with spit thinking my career was to dribble
Never thought I was getting big off what I would scribble
But then I got a little older
Reality check
I wasn’t the best hooper so which reality’s next
I started rapping for fun never knew it was the one
Actually when I would write
I thought everything was right
Now I look back and laugh
I thought that stuff would go up on the mic
But now I’m writing with a conscious mind
Constant lines run through
My head when I’m tryna go to bed
Wake up the next trying to remember everything that I said
Try to make it fit in to the uncompleted rhymes I had written
Never thought people would like what I was spitting
Have dreams of releasing classics like
Black on Both Sides and It Was Written
Feel like a super hero
Unlike Spider-Man this was God-Given
No need to be bitten”
I changed it because
A. It didn’t flow right
B. Too basic
C. I wanted to focus it more around the main idea
