[Verse 1: Afronaut]
Let's take it back to the 00's
Before I ever wanted to be in a religio
Before I ever knew what it felt like to be a friend
Before I ever knew what it was like to make it end
Before I ever knew how to create a bond
And I'd meet everyone I know up until now
But I've figured out the true meaning of friendship
Is that I can live it to the fullest right now
Now I'm here, laying in my crib
With my mommy and daddy feeding me with my bib
I didn't know anything, up until elementary
Kids made fun of me, but I knew I had my family
I remembered the touch of my parents, very gently
It felt like my heart started burning, a fire was lit
When I truly figured out who I was when my life was hit
But even after everything, I realized the sky is the limit
[Hook: E the Rapper]
Tell my friends that I feel great
And I'll admit, I lost my way
And I know it's been a while
But now I'm strong in all my ways
(The sky is the limit)
Believe it or not, I'm doing good and I want more
(The sky is the limit)
When opportunity knocks, you see me walking to that door
[Verse 2: Pickle Dee]
Yo, I remember back when I started rapping
Had a different name and was in elementary cla**es
I think it was the 4th grade that I got serious
Told myself that I wanted to be a lyricist
Kids were hearing this rap fanatic in check
By the time I showed my music I was a year up my step
Didn't know the older brothers knew about me
So when they found me, it wasn't so astounding
Criticism coming from the left, panning down to the right
Telling me that I would fail, making the future not bright
Said to myself, "I don't need to listen"
"If I maintain pace, I'll conquer competition"
So I'm still moving while haters keep losing
Music is my life, it's in my soul, so consuming
Working on a craft makes a world amusing
Growing as a human while the sky keeps blooming
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Anevay]
I was supposed to be a no one, tell me you don't remember
Pretend I'm not cause I'm cold and unleashing eternal winter
Frozen to the core, you can't slow me anymore
Messed around and struck a cord
Had me thinking, "what am I living for?"
Sure they hating me, now they angrily watch me chasing dreams
And I believe in the team, my only option is too succeed
I couldn't breathe and first blink, I see my enemies
Everyone seemed to get to me, so much rage that I was trembling
They sentenced me to Hell, never thought I'd capture the flames
Return to the world, changed, basically restructured my brain
My thoughts became bullets, my mouth became a deadly force
A last resort to overcome the odds and say I'm a dark horse
No remorse or regrets, but that's old news
Who knew if I could put my mind to it, what I could really do
Whether you riding or not, I got my sight set on the mood
I'm aiming up, and when I make it, I'll be thanking all of you
[Hook]
