cole deruse - humble beginnings lyrics
[hook: cole deruse]
some people have, somethin’ from they past
that’ll help motivate em to double they pace
humble beginnings, doesn’t mean our ending
will end up full of nothin’ but struggle and pain
but other people have, somethin’ from they past
that’ll make em go astray and not finish the race
fortunate beginnings, doesn’t mean the ending
of our journeys will all end in a similar fate
[verse 1: cole deruse]
let me take you back to my beginning
when nintendo was super, bein’ played by so many
when nickelodeon released the tv show ren & stimpy
and when the animated series of batman was nearing, yeah
that year, jeffrey dahmer was arrested
freddie mercury, died from his infection
the internet went public with their connection
and the terminator made more money than the rest did
but check this, it was also when i was born /
momma was 17, daddy was 18
the reason they made me, is momma quit taking
her birth control because she wanted someone that could love her more
than anyone had ever loved her before
she wanted love unconditional because she was worn
the storms poured it was visible on her physical form
war torn from the critical cynical scorn
that she felt strongly pumping through her chambers of childhood
a child should never have to do what she had to do
so she made it absolute that i would never go through the same
and she made the decision to give me up for my father to raise, uh
what a sacrifice for her son
every time i think about it tears begin to run
it is motivation flowin’ like air through my lungs
and that is why i love the year 1991

some people have, somethin’ from they past
that’ll help motivate em to double they pace
humble beginnings, doesn’t mean our ending
will end up full of nothin’ but struggle and pain
but other people have, somethin’ from they past
that’ll make em go astray and not finish the race
fortunate beginnings, doesn’t mean the ending
of our journeys will all end in a similar fate
[verse 2: ruslan]
little russian boy, fresh off the boat
never understood how the language was spoke
only thing he knew was the interesting folks
all had stereos and the music was dope
six months later, the soviet fell
but he ain’t understand cuz the music was well
his way to escape, the b-boys would break
the artists would paint and the dj’s had crates
n.w.a., ll cool j
momma said knock you out in a cool way
2pacalypse was naughty by nature
yo, mtv raps was finally gettin’ major
it spoke his language his brain got branded
even though a lick of english he couldn’t understand it
in 91 it was cartoons and playin’ tapes
what it takes for a boy to fully -ssimilate
[hook: cole deruse]
some people have, somethin’ from they past
that’ll help motivate em to double they pace
humble beginnings, doesn’t mean our ending
will end up full of nothin’ but struggle and pain
but other people have, somethin’ from they past
that’ll make em go astray and not finish the race
fortunate beginnings, doesn’t mean the ending
of our journeys will all end in a similar fate
