When you start out, you wanna get good and elevate ya game...
When you elevate, you wanna get known and celebrate ya fame...
So much to know in rap, so many decisions that can go each way...
So much to master, to where you practice it each day...
Gotta appeal to the crowd, and to other emcee's be dope too...
You get to a point where a 7/10 just wont do...
Provin ya self to others, seemed to have become a lost cause...
But then your rippin through the seam work just like a dog's claws...
Ya start to roller coaster, good and bad day...
Your talent starts to seem like it could go either way...
You switch it up, maybe use a multie here and there...
You got writers block, ya brain doesnt have a thought to share...
So you look for a vets name, gonna call him out to prove your self...
And when you beat him you always remember how fuckin cool ya felt...
Another win notch to add to ya belt... But somethings missin...
It's that you just beat a vet but still you got no recognition...
Now you go in EFL, cause you ego just exploded...
Ya confident as hell, and oh fuck ya loaded...
You talk disrepect to the person who answers you're bitch slapped...
Cause now you can diss, but you gon get dissed back...
After you're first L you think "do i wanna risk that?"
Now you gotta decide, contemplate while you sit back...
You decide you wanna get ya game up before you battle again...
And you aint confident when you come back so you battle a friend...
And you win. So ya feel like you're on top of youre game...
And you tryout for a crew, so some more kids know your name...
You think that now you got some brand new braggin rights...
Mouthin off to real vets while you're acting tight...
Now your realize your mistake and shit just gets harder...
Takes a lot to do to actally propell farthur...
But pretty soon you're known, you gain a name...
And at first it's pretty hard to stay the same...
But you still dont have the one thing you wanted from the start...
It's harder to reach than anything, it's farther from the stars...
It's the one thing you seeked, what you aimed to get...
The hardest part of rap is to gain respect...
