Once upon a time a kid just wanted to die
Instead decided to rhyme
Picked up a pen and pad
Wrote down every thought he had
Lonely just like his own dad
Depressed just like his own mom
He tried to stay fully calm
At times lost his composure
He just couldn't stay sober
He tried over and over
As he got older and older
What was his name? just a kid
Who wanted to make it big
Doing what he loves for the rest of his existence
This kid has grown
This kid has shown
The confidential
His potential
Shot through the roof
Doesn't need a booth
Just a closet
No deposit
In his wallet
But he found his calling
Pouring his heart and soul
He's longed acceptance
Fame he's destined
But he's stressing
Worried he can't take
Sleepless nights
Will do right
Full of fright
What do I
Want to do for the rest of my life?
Help others with music that's the sight
But where should I begin? I know
I'll write a letter to myself all over again
Once upon a time a kid just wanted to die
Instead decided to rhyme
Picked up a pen and pad
Wrote down every thought he had
Lonely just like his own dad
Depressed just like his own mom
He tried to stay fully calm
At times lost his composure
He just couldn't stay sober
He tried over and over
As he got older and older
What was his name? just a kid
Who wanted to make a difference
Doing what he loves for the rest of his existence
This kid has changed
This kid is strange
Not deranged
Has anger in his brain
Try's to tame his emotions
Busy hoping and self loathing
Hardly opens up
But when he does
His skeletons will flood
But he's had enough
He's not done just begun
He'll use his emotions
To stay focused
On what's important
His family, goals, dreams, and wishes
Making music with his family is his envision
Living off of rapping is his mission
And he'll do whatever it takes to be happy in his ending
Once upon a time a kid just wanted to die
