no one ever said

no one ever said it'd be easy

no one ever said it won't take no time

no one ever seemed to believe me

yo yo yo

no one ever said it'd be easy

no one ever said it won't take no time

no one ever seemed to believe me

no one ever thought that i could make those rhymes

and no one ever said it'd be easy

no one ever said it won't take no time

no one ever seemed to believe me

no one ever thought that i could make those rhymes

young dumb hooligan

go and make a fool of himself

once more

fuck board

back to school again

finna drop out before it starts

cause it's foolish when my squad makes gym

shit

i'm feelin like a toolish friend

cooler than your average

but this here is my crop

and rap shit to atlas is like

cyclops to eye drops

i just wanna chill up in my room

while i write lots

and leave at 3 am

to hit the denny's

or the ihop

i might not present myself as cogent

when we meet face to face

but

i'd rather lay awake

than waste away and age in gray

and talents in the balance

that's difficult to take away

no matter how often you

debate my case

homie screamin'

break his face!"
