[Verse 1: Castro] Like an open book, I'm done with page one Through this struggle that I live, I've been ready for this run Can't tell you how I live cuz I'm only at the start But my lyrics something serious, nobodies for restart June twelfth ninety five, when my life had just began Come to think about it that's the same day as D-tin Fast forward fifteen years, me and him became friends Now we rocking Page 1 with the same damn pen Now I'm sitting, reminiscing, it's been a long time Our position's, raised different, but we both on the grind Blood is thicker than water and as God gives truth Taking a break from this race, and now I'm on to page two... [Verse 2: D-tin] Now I don't have the same upbringing as my opposition But with this pencil and this pad I have unlimited ammunition I didn't grow up in the streets, I'm just an average teen Sharing feelings through my perspective, but through music, not a screen And I hope that y'all can see my feelings through my written words Cuz I'ma do it in a way that none of you have ever heard When I spit it soft, I keep it real, because I write with my emotion Only eighteen years old, but this rap game has my devotion I'ma rhyme 'til it's my time, I'm not shooting for the stars I'm fulfilling a dream when you listen to my bars I've had my ups, I've had my downs, but now that's all in my past Because time has healed the aching heart that had been gaping vast After I got up off of the ground, I found my love in rap The only thing in this entire world that calms me before I snap People tell me that I'm a prodigy to the best to pick up a mic But I don't want to live in someone's shadow, I want my own spotlight Thank you all for tuning in, your time wasted will be none I hope you all enjoy the story, but this is only page one
