Where Do I Begin

Where should I begin?

Man upon a mission, still a marytr for the vision

Had to my find my voice when the people wouldn't listen

Sacrifice my peace, knew my level double digits

Sacrifice my pride, rather die than lose my spirit

Had to take a minute, let my lyrics match my mind frame

Funny how these bars had me trapped inside a mind state

If I see the morning I'm just happy I'm alive

Stomach cut from bottles that are harboured deep inside

Still a broken glass, ain't no tripping over spilled milk

How many times you fake it just to show 'em you the real deal?

How many you inspired leave you out the conversation?

How many mini-me's do it take to be the greatest?

Let them take my flesh if it means I feed the nation

Let me kick my feet up and admire my creations

School of hard knocks, paid my dues and graduated

Come a long way from hopping fences at the station

Plot my entrance like my exit, I just came to show face

Wins and losses made me humble but I'm falling from grace

No more talking about the action when you're running in place

We made something out of nothing, just a regular day

We made something out of nothing, no applause for that

Mama do that everyday, ain't no awards for that

Papa tried, it was hard, so unfortunate

Scars heal even when they say they're permanent

I was happy at my lowest 'cause I learnt from it

I made hits out my sadness, had to earn from it

I might cop a Maserati just to learn in it

I might cop the Maserati just to swerve in it

Where do I begin?

H-O-X-T-O-N, that's where I been

I had to get it, ain't no slipping where I live

I had to wake 'em, they was sleeping on the kid

Uh, wait

Where do I begin?

H-O-X-T-O-N, that's where I been

I had to get it, ain't no slipping where I live

I had to wake 'em, they was sleeping on the kid
