backpack jax - i am lyrics
[verse 1: boogie monsta]
trajectory : undefined
at times, was outta line
broke and hungry for a break out of this life of mine
bittersweet, overcame the deceits
once my pops came and told me “real men never cheat, son”
diving in dark waters, dodging the sharks
set the young iraqi french kid rather apart
then my time came, when the stars aligned, i was gone
thank god it’s been too long, i’m the game, let’s write a song
but if the game is broke, then why would i become a player?
rhymes for hire, nothing but lies, all layers
i figured “the day i make it, boy, we’ll celebrate together”
but it seems the climb to the top’s made me question whether
my friends were my friends back when misery loved to party
hard work always pays off, though i’m left with n0body
ain’t it funny? things in life taken away, then given back
it’s for all of y’all, pursuing something bigger than your tracks
word up
[chorus]
every time i hit a stop
told me i could not
only pushed me farther
kept on climbing to the top
eyes kept them on lock
it made me what i am
every time i hit a stop
told me i could not
only pushed me farther
kept on climbing to the top
and in the end
you know it made me what i am
[verse 2: mauikai]
when i was just a shorty
people told me i was talented
impatient, ambitious, too p-ssionate
but that was just the half of it
mostly just a brat obsessed with stages and a mic
dreaming to see my name in lights
plotted my future every single night
stared at the tv screen and memorized each line i heard on radio
soul train, the box, late night -rs-nio
soaked up every chance to kick to anyone who’d listen
wishing somebody with vision would discover
take the risk then put me on
early on the lessons came quick
skin it grew thicker, rejected till it finally cl!cked
cl!cked my heels, auntie ang’, we not in kansas
power all along, that’s when she told me that i had this, had this
somewhere over the rainbow, i knew i’d find my pot of gold
must weather the rain, though
had to sprout some wings, dig in & begin to savor all my wins
listenin’ to that voice within
that’s what got me here today from where i been
[chorus]
every time i hit a stop
told me i could not
only pushed me farther
kept on climbing to the top
eyes kept them on lock
it made me what i am
every time i hit a stop
told me i could not
only pushed me farther
kept on climbing to the top
and in the end
you know it made me what i am
[bridge]
oh, took me time to grow
i had to stay true, keep it authentic
couldn’t pretend, my heart’s not in it
no, now i finally know
only way to win’s to always bring it
i’ve given my all, and there’s no limit
i am
[chorus]
every time i hit a stop
told me i could not
only pushed me farther
kept on climbing to the top
eyes kept them on lock
it made me what i am
every time i hit a stop
told me i could not
only pushed me farther
kept on climbing to the top
and in the end
you know it made me what i am
