Banshee - Beginnings lyrics

Fearing every opportunity that comes my way Just gotta open up the gates and seize the day Most times I settle for just holding back But that won't get you anywhere, my family told me that I'm pretty thankful that they showed so much support To a little, goofy nerd who was never good at sports Who all day stayed inside and played with toys Connected with the girls better than the boys And I just wanted all the kids to like me Rocked knock off kicks, never owned some Nikes Tried soccer but that wasn't for me I was asthmatic, spazmatic and found it boring Ran around the field I was up for the chase But I never touched the ball till it smashed my face So, I had to find another activity Maybe one that wasn't just a test of masculinity One that I could showcase my creative abilities One that would make me happy and fill my needs All around the house I would sing and dance My parents said how about performing? Give it a chance Started acting in the school plays Those were the highlights of my school days Found an area where I excelled and fit in Thought, huh so it's okay to be different Then I started listening to rap Now I'm like yo how awesome is that I write my own songs and I make my own beats Build my own volcano and I spit my own heat Though people put me down cause I'm white and I ain't from the streets I go yeah I know, that's not who I'm trying to be I've never drank alcohol and never smoked weed In a way, I'm the same as when I was in grade three K, maybe not, I have grown a lot Taken my maturity and up it shot Could make music like a robot But I rap my a** off and it don't stop I rap my a** off and it don't stop Bop, and I've gone pop Never gon' flop
