Anthony Talbert Jr. - Child Prodigy lyrics

"What kind of story you trying to tell?" (Verse 1) No stopping me The child prodigy Awards and competitions None of my peers a top of me I found the words of power I sat alone for hours I let the knowledge pour Kids were playing basketball I just went and read some more Best of all Left it all behind Every time I began reading a page Went to another world in my mind Despite the young age These images were vivid If I read it I lived it co*ky little kid Cause I knew that I was gifted Still was so shy Always kept my distance And I read all the time but when I spoke no one listened Maybe some teachers did But I was just a kid I needed validation That's when I started changing That's when we moved down south That's where I found my Bible I put away my books I tucked away my idols And I changed (Verse 2) I started writing rhymes Not just some of the time I did it every day Read a verse then wrote away One day I came to a pa**age that said turn the other cheek The kingdom of God would belong to the meek I followed suit directly Hoping that God would bless me I let my foes test me Bully and beat me Fight and jump me They found it funny When I just prayed I started slipping with the grades I was distracted by the hazing I started putting emotions to the page and After that I was never really the same, then I got my first job I started getting paid My parents bought a house That's when we moved away “Shouldn't you rest now?” “I want to read some more.” “Ok fine.” “You can change the world, if you choose to.”
