[Rittz]
Yeah, when the rest of the world go to sleep I
I be gettin drunk, probably on some kind of drug, trippin lookin at the street light
Tryna write a rap on a laid back beat but it's hard, I'm on a speed high
The C-N-T my crew, we cool but we grew up in the street life
In other words, we gon' sting 'em when they swingin at the beehive
Rewind, ain't nobody reach out
Back when I was comin up, now they hit me and get mad if I don't reply
Where were you when I was cleanin out the deep fryer? Didn't wanna swing by
Hoes sayin he's fine, yeah right, sayin that I wanna fuck, she lyin, she tryin
I can tell by her face that her pussy smell like a sea lion
Only D she gonna get is denied, couple grand inside my Levi's
T9 put me on, and he always wear red
But I swear if somebody disrespect him, I'ma check him
He don't gotta give a green light
Listenin to Big Mike, rap music used to be tight
Some of it still is, but a lot of it is street hype
Back when I was prayin I would make it
This ain't what I thought it'd be like
Despite all the fake shit, I'm really happy to achieve my
childhood dreams and a ton of shit's sweet
Every now and then it's sour like a key lime
And when it is I gotta remind
me that I made it to the big time
And I know I might not be as big as T.I.
But guaranteed if you see me gettin behind
a microphone I'ma bring the heat each time

[Chorus: Rittz]
Cause I was born for this (born for this)
I'm so lucky to be this fortunate (fortunate)
My life, my heart, my soul got poured in this (poured in this)
And I'ma keep goin until my story ends (story ends)
Until the Lord above me decides to turn my lights ouuuuut
But for right nowwwww
I ain't tryin to put this mic dowwwwwn
Stage is mine nowwwww

[Rittz]
Told my parents I was gonna make it one day
They ain't never look convinced, I was just a little kid at a young age
They probably thought it was a dumb phase
And I quit school, said I'm stupid, told me just wait
I regret it and I do, I was thinkin I was cool
Started fuckin with the drug trade, just knowin I might end up blowin up big
I was finally of age, hittin up Atlanta at the club late
Doin every open mic, lookin like a straight target, I was unsafe
in the middle of the hood, only white boy on stage
Had to let my nuts hang
Fifteen years later all the work paid off, kids comin tryna run game
Only difference is, I was a lyricist
Before the internet opened up the floodgates
When white boys had to have skills
If you didn't then you gettin booed, gettin jumped, "What you just say?"
Had to live what you rapped back then
Nowadays you can say you 'bout gunplay
when you shot a target at a gun range
You can say you got a plug, I ain't follow for the pump fake
Sayin Usher's your cousin, your uncle is Just Blaze
As far as bullshit go, nothin much changed
I'm gettin better every year
All I see is competition to me that I wanna try to upstage
And there's still a lot of people that ain't never listened to me in they life
I think it's time to get an update
Rappers that I gave my demo tape to in the past
tryna come and get my number, we should touch base
That could be me one day
but I'm hotter than a sun ray, I'm blazed

[Chorus]

[Rittz]
Cause I was born for this (born for this)
