Uh

Back in the day way before I acquired a reputation

Back in the day way before I acquired a reputation

Back in the day way before I, back in the day way before I

Uhh, hah

Back in the day, way before I acquired a reputation

I think I was 4 when I started getting some education

Ndichibva pa2775 paden mulocation

Ndakananga zvangu kuNumber 5 School, "What's the vision?"

Tichibvunzwa nemateacher

"What is the bigger picture?

Whatchu wanna be when you grow up, what is your future

Gonna be like?

What's it all gonna be like?"

But I think I was knee high

Ndichibvunzwa zvinhu zvese izvi, hah, imbondimirirai

I used to say I wanna be a pilot

'Cause it sounded so damn cool, I wanna be a private

Detective, a doctor, whatever, whatchu call it?

Maturity kicked in, now I just wanna make a fucking profit

And then I was in high school

Tichisvika zvedu nekamota kedu kanenge bicycle

Parked paside nemaRange, maBenz, mafancy coupe

We was never the same, zvaizopera tamumagroup

When you'd find your real crew

'Cause vamwe they wouldn't talk to you if you were never cool

I remember the other day ndakambosekwa nethis dude

Kuti ungataure kuti Dzivarasekwa is where you used to go for school iwe uchitaura nekababes

Hanzi you should have lied

My **** I couldn't do it even if I was to try

I was never gonna build my image on a fucking lie

I didn't go to a fancy school and if that girl don't think I'm fly

Then fuck it, I don't wanna be fly!

That is my background, and I'm proud

I done done made me some family showing what I'm about

I could name a couple people that used to just avoid me but now, they can't keep my name outta their mouth man

But that was then

I was a kid and now I am a fucking man

And sure, sometimes I lost my way

And nobody is perfect, hey

But I'm proud of who I am today

I done evolved man

I wanna tell you where I came from, who I am, who I was, my guy, so let me tell you about it

I wanna let you see all my past flaws, but everybody grows so let's just talk about it

I wanna talk about my damn life before I had a good life, so y'all, can I just talk about it?

And at most, yo, I wanna let you know ems before the cash flow so yup, I will just talk about it

And I think it was in form 4 right? Yeah, in our class

When I became so obsessed with writing my raps

Then I passed, then I moved on onto the next level

Went back to the same school for my A-Level

Then I, had a bad start with the books and all

Became known as the guy who had no points at all

It's now term 3, I'm still trynna fight for a combination

At this point I'm just letting down everybody's expectations

And apparently if you're not doing well in class

You're prolly mischievous

At least that's what my teacher says

And nobody really know what's going on inside

Then I said fuck it, I no longer have to hide my other side

I'm just gonna let it rampage

I've lost all my respect so I'm turning a new page

Carefree, I'm thinking of Jeffery lines in class

Oh now it's time for mass? (I'm not going)

Assembly? (I'm not showing up)

Reflection? (I'm not going)

What is there to reflect? I'm not growing

As a person, my mind is now blowing

I wanna stop, I want it all to stop

But my ego at the same time is telling me, "You rock!"

So now I'm just obsessed with doing all the wrong things

I prolly should be studying but I'm stuck on my screens

Now fast forward results came in, I'm the only one that flunked

Now I'm just thinking back to all the shit that I had bunked, but

There's no chance to rewind

I put that in my mind

I'm just gonna study then rewrite

But yeah, it's kinda hurting bad inside

Well sometimes all you need is a setback to finally set things right

Then I finally passed

That reality check only left me impressed

That even if you lose your way

Our father God'll find a way

To make you a better man today

And that is facts man
