Beat Prod. by CHill - Modestly Crafted lyrics
It's about that time for my voice to be heard {Verse 1} This mixtape is modestly crafted Title is actually accurate Studying hip hop like students getting their bachelor's Feel like I came from the bottom And all people rose up Always told to keep my head up But to never put my nose up My biological father, yeah I recall him vaguely Whatever, life goes on Wonder if he would have forgave me If I suddenly walked out Well look who's destined for greatness Who is this really all about? Me Not to sound conceited, this is lyrically compacted I'm been dominating since the year kobe Was drafted This is Set in stone, like a law, that's been enacted Every politician backed it Bill pa**ed Now look who's rapping Recorded this mixtape with a konami microphone Free beats, shoutout to chill and now I finally own That flow I'm blessed with to convey my life, words, and tone Rap fans salute my presence Lyrical gifts I hone Uh huh {Hook} Modestly Crafted, I'm comin at ya Didn't even know that I could rap but I'm a natural Doing my thing, til' the very end of time And thats the truth Something else on fire and It ain't the roof Modestly crafted, modestly crafted This mixtape, modestly crafted Modestly crafted, modestly crafted This mixtape, modestly crafted {Verse 2} Second verse, I immerse you Into my life through words The life of a rapper, artist, poet, and self-proclaimed nerd Forget what you heard, I'm destined To make a difference Sometimes I sit and ponder whether I should Go the distance To think this all began on the 10th day of August Back in 96 But now I'm talking about being modest Being loving, being honest Being reliable, and fair Because we live in a cold world where people blatantly Don't care We live in a world full Of murder, mayhem, lies, and smoking dope It warms my heart to know my music can be somebody's shred of hope When I was a kid, I could see my parents struggling Wonder why I'm not rapping about hustling Because I'm not a gangsta, I'm not a happy rapper I don't claim or try to fake because I'm not a good actor I'm not judging either, because everybody has a story And everybody can testify to God's sweet grace and Wonderful glory {Hook} Modestly Crafted, I'm comin at ya Didn't even know that I could rap but I'm a natural Doing my thing, til' the very end of time And thats the truth Something else on fire and It ain't the roof Modestly crafted, modestly crafted This mixtape, modestly crafted Modestly crafted, modestly crafted This mixtape, modestly crafted
