Once Upon A Time Lyrics

Once upon a time way back in 99

Ambition and rhyme

I wanna be a hiphopper

It is my fate to be ....

Once upon a time way back in 99

These kids went on a mission to ambition and rhyme

Fell in love with the culture was seduced by the game

And ma thats gonna be me one day

Once upon a time way back in 99

These kids went on a mission to ambition and rhyme

Fell in love with the culture was seduced by the game

And ma thats gonna be me one day

And they will sing praise of him like an opera

Had his mums eyes other features were his fathers

They wanted him to be a lawyer doctor

He was educated so the thought was only proper

He did okay in class could've worked harder

Homie never really saw himself as a scholar

Love shooting hoops pool and playing soccer

And he found rap i wanna be a hiphopper

He said she said they said you gotta

Be realistic look at the statistics

How many peeps search for this path to miss it

But the more negative they were the more it itched him

Started skipping class getting into this and that

In his spare time he writing or spitting raps

See this gift of rap he thought was all he had

To place a mark for himself on this little map

Only thing that stopped him was the look on mum's face

She didnt think rap would keep him out of mom's way

And now this bro between a rock and a hard place

9-5'ing with beats he parle's

He asked for God's say put his dreams on hold

You see his mum soul is now at home

In heaven and he promised her before she left him

He would graduate fall back on a profession

As if indeed he was ever in need

Or *** success while chasing his dreams

So everytime he started sweet 16

He realized he wasnt just another MC

Thats real gat swag back and thats ill

Business plan matched with supreme rap skills

I was fulfilled its bout that time

Wish me lcuck ma cause am going for mine

Once upon a time way back in 99

These kids went on a mission to ambition and rhyme

Fell in love with the culture was seduced by the game

And ma thats gonna be me one day

Once upon a time way back in 99

These kids went on a mission to ambition and rhyme

Fell in love with the culture was seduced by the game

And ma thats gonna be me one day

Moving through life at a very fast pace

Wondering if my niggas realize what's at stake

The bigger we become he more money we make

The closer to our dreams the more problems we face

I sensed tension setting in through the convo

We don face a lot of trials on this long road

3 years on this grind we've been on though

Chasing dreams in gidi tryna make it on our own so

We dealt with the doubters they speculate about it

4 young men tryna give you somthing to be proud of

It wasnt easy though

But it helps when you set your mind state to undefeateable

There's nothing worse when your family dont believe in you

And your girl looses faith and she's leaving you

You feel you should have locked that down omo long time

But when you broke every moment is the wrong time

You trying hard but there's problems with the cash fow

Yet every friday hit the club and we blast though

Up in rehab acting like some assholes

The chicks love it they attracted to them assholes

And you feeling like you maybe in the wrong place

They think you boasting cause you keep wearing a long face

But am out my flight is on the runway

This album here is simply just the entre

Once upon a time way back in 99

These kids went on a mission to ambition and rhyme

Fell in love with the culture was seduced by the game

And ma thats gonna be me one day

Once upon a time way back in 99

These kids went on a mission to ambition and rhyme

Fell in love with the culture was seduced by the game

And ma thats gonna be me one day
