| [00:05.20] |
White boy |
| [00:13.50] |
yeah |
| [00:15.31] |
White boy |
| [00:17.54] |
Nine deuce was the year my ears got introduced to rap |
| [00:19.17] |
Stealing instrumentals off singles, I’d use the tracks |
| [00:20.98] |
MC Creu, Mellow Man, and Jeru the Damaja |
| [00:23.00] |
"Tears" from the King & I, was the few I had |
| [00:24.97] |
Practice in my room for hours, improve my craft |
| [00:27.02] |
On every artist’s album that I heard |
| [00:29.44] |
On the song, breaking dawn, number fourteen |
| [00:30.68] |
Till death do us part |
| [00:31.76] |
Wishing that I was from the fifth ward of Houston bad |
| [00:33.33] |
A white kid from the burbs, bumping Freeport boys |
| [00:35.45] |
Too much trouble to see that our squad could set |
| [00:37.24] |
Up in class repping bum stickity bum, giggity gangster |
| [00:40.93] |
Gangster, biting Spice 1 and Das EFX |
| [00:42.42] |
Kriss Kross and Method Redman in my headphones |
| [00:43.47] |
Blasting "Time Time 4 Sum Aksion" |
| [00:45.66] |
That’s when then the teacher would get mad |
| [00:47.56] |
And she would kick me out the classroom |
| [00:48.95] |
The bell rang, start a cypher in the bathroom |
| [00:51.11] |
Up inside the gym, took turns spitting |
| [00:53.12] |
We’d beat the bleacher with our hands, tryna keep the beat |
| [00:54.31] |
Only white dude that went to my school |
| [00:55.81] |
That spit, proved I’m sick, and I will eat MCs, I have room |
| [00:58.07] |
To grow, the talent show, I rocked the vest like Treach |
| [01:00.10] |
Miami Hurricane hat while I held the mic |
| [01:02.07] |
Haters talking shit like who, this ain’t Vanilla Ice |
| [01:04.20] |
And I don’t care if he’s nice, on my life |
| [01:06.21] |
I don’t like no white rappers |
| [01:07.65] |
Growing up it was tough, my family said that I sucked |
| [01:09.40] |
They gave up, I was just a white rapper |
| [01:10.84] |
But I created a buzz, cause I bust |
| [01:13.48] |
In the booth, I go nuts, but I’m just a white rapper |
| [01:14.87] |
With no way to be dope, and I know that you think I’m a joke |
| [01:19.35] |
Cause I’m just a white rapper |
| [01:15.99] |
Put my heart on the stage, on the page |
| [01:17.57] |
But at the end of the day, I’m still just a white rapper |
| [01:20.03] |
In ninth grade, a pimp gave me a better attempt |
| [01:24.86] |
I was convinced I’d get a deal |
| [01:26.07] |
My skills improved a hundred percent |
| [01:27.35] |
Back then, nobody had studio equipment in their crib |
| [01:29.05] |
I was the only one that did |
| [01:31.94] |
I spent my life in that basement |
| [01:33.02] |
On cruise road, up in eagle point |
| [01:34.29] |
Cops labeled it a gang house, we was doing music |
| [01:36.04] |
We dropped out, dreaming of being on it |
| [01:38.30] |
31, I would go out and perform at |
| [01:39.82] |
Open mics, when no one’s white |
| [01:41.67] |
No one likes to clap or give you dap |
| [01:42.71] |
Clubs you be scared to go inside |
| [01:43.98] |
Stood at a spot in the hood, 20 miles from home |
| [01:45.66] |
Waiting to finally hit the stage and blow their mind |
| [01:48.11] |
Performed for 5 people, or 20 at best |
| [01:50.06] |
Sending demo tapes to labels, a ton of rejects |
| [01:51.77] |
A ton of fake record companies execs on my talent |
| [01:54.04] |
They tried their best to convince me they had something to invest |
| [01:56.40] |
And just wasting my time, phony managers scamming us |
| [01:58.39] |
Girlfriend and family, the verdict unanimous |
| [02:00.33] |
To "stop rapping you piece of shit, it’s not happening |
| [02:02.51] |
Now act white and grow up, are you tryn'na embarrass us?" |
| [02:04.54] |
So I told that girl bye and was back on my stride |
| [02:06.45] |
Rhymes kept getting better, my buzz was hard to deny |
| [02:08.26] |
Almost quit and when I did got introduced to the guy |
| [02:10.56] |
That put me on, and he been through the same struggle as I |
| [02:12.77] |
A white rapper |
| [02:13.82] |
Growing up it was tough, my family said that I sucked |
| [02:14.25] |
They gave up, I was just a white rapper |
| [02:18.05] |
But I created a buzz, cause I bust |
| [02:19.49] |
In the booth, I go nuts, but I’m just a white rapper |
| [02:22.29] |
With no way to be dope, and I know that you think I’m a joke |
| [02:24.63] |
Cause I’m just a white rapper |
| [02:27.56] |
Put my heart on the stage, on the page |
| [02:28.53] |
But at the end of the day, I’m still just a white rapper |
| [02:29.64] |
Now the rap game is flooded with rappers |
| [02:31.76] |
From every nationality, a ton of them crackers |
| [02:33.55] |
The fact that I finally came up is miraculous |
| [02:36.43] |
Twenty years later my name is becoming established |
| [02:37.87] |
My album is on the rack at Best Buy |
| [02:39.43] |
I was at the BET awards, I was sitting right next to |
| [02:41.61] |
Luda and Rick Ross, but who would have thought |
| [02:43.52] |
I was just at Jim & Nick's |
| [02:44.68] |
flipping chicken tenders and French fries |
| [02:47.06] |
I used to hate when people asked me what I do for a living |
| [02:48.48] |
It feels great to tell em you’re a musician |
| [02:49.95] |
Until they ask what type of music, I tell em I rap |
| [02:51.76] |
Then they laugh, looking at me, they be like "who are you kidding?" |
| [02:54.08] |
I be like "Google me bitch," |
| [02:55.31] |
They always compare us white boys to one another |
| [02:57.01] |
Is your music like his? |
| [02:58.18] |
You should be rich, freestyle, making stupid requests |
| [02:59.84] |
Before I made it in music I never used to have shit |
| [03:02.33] |
Now I got my own crib, I can afford my car |
| [03:03.44] |
Fans say my music helps them when they’re going through hard times |
| [03:06.08] |
I speak my mind even when I’m going too far |
| [03:08.45] |
Even though a part of me agree with Lord Jamar |
| [03:11.40] |
We are guests in hip hop, I’m appreciative |
| [03:12.69] |
That you finally let us in the crib |
| [03:14.50] |
But I busted my ass to get respect for my craft |
| [03:16.06] |
In interviews they never forget to mention this |
| [03:18.46] |
And I’m just a white rapper |
| [03:19.82] |
Growing up it was tough, my family said that I sucked |
| [03:21.68] |
They gave up, I was just a white rapper |
| [03:23.97] |
But I created a buzz, cause I bust |
| [03:25.44] |
In the booth, I go nuts, but I’m just a white rapper |
| [03:27.62] |
With no way to be dope, and I know that you think I’m a joke |
| [03:31.00] |
Cause I’m just a white rapper |
| [03:32.91] |
Put my heart on the stage, on the page |
| [03:34.55] |
But at the end of the day, I’m still just a white rapper |
