(Verse 1) Up these long nights Just me and this mic That's me and my life Trying to earn my stripes Trying to earn the right To stand here and fight I don't do this for the money Man I do this for respect And it's time to collect I be climbing out the sewer This game is a b**h But I'm still married to her They said I was a screw up So I drank until I threw up The end of that chapter Beginning of another I gotta do something I never did nothing 17 years What do I got to show for it I can't just go and forfeit This is all I got This is my one shot No way I can stop Was on my writers block Its pain but I fought Everything I was taught Developed and grown Becoming more known You can say I'm homegrown You can write it in stone Doing me on every track You gon have to spin it back To comprehend all this rap But some of you will get it Others will get it All misunderstood You can take me away From this neighborhood But you can't take it from me It's become a part of me Riding through these streets A pen and a sheet Is all I'll ever need I'm finally free So just let me do me This is my new beginning So let me begin it (Hook) Yeah I'm reincarnated I've been separated Running with the family But I'm not related Still the name I created But I'm reincarnated
Starts right here This is history in making (x2) (Verse 2) This is do or die What I gotta do to fly Push it to the end And then push it another mile Simply take my time Whenever that we ride From now on things are different I'm a changed person That much is for certain Changed the focus of what I do No longer doing this to prove A thing to any of you Now I'm really trying To produce nothing less Than the very best Striving for excellence I'm a riot in the game And the second I accomplish it Ima try it again Just to hit the moon You gotta aim for the stars So when I step into the room Ima push it so hard And when my legs will drop Even then I never will stop Ima push another child Out this b**h called hip hop Make it to the tip top Now I'm pleased to present You with the main event This is my new beginning Now let me begin it (Hook) (x2) (Verse 3) Up these long nights Just me and this mic Everything I sacrificed It's just a part of the life Reborn in the booth Got me feeling bullet proof Blow a hole through the roof And then they pop a tooth Opening up doors Victory at wars And while it's a game No one here is playing So I have no fear With the past years It's become very clear That I will always be here (Hook) (x2)
