lirik lagu cameron london - shades of '95
[verse 1]
it all started back in seventh grade
i was beat boxing in the classroom
black zune
bumping michael jackson
in the chat room
i didn’t give it second thoughts at the time
til my cousin eric introduced me to the rhymes
we were
freestyling
i was far from sk!lled
told myself
if you don’t think you’ll make it far
you will
i’m spilling ink on the page
quelling my rage
my stage more like the world
my mind more like a cage
i prayed for what i got
so why i’m question this
crying through the struggle
knowing there’s a blessing in this
i’m a witness
music helped bring me out of sickness
k!lled joy
then i started begging to forget
ask my mama
she might say her only son is a g.o.a.t
ask the city
can’t recite a single bar that i wrote
if this album is my last
i won’t fill it with jokes
so take the next line i say as a quote
[chorus]
now i am not the man i thought i’d be
why would god choose a man like me
when i don’t think i deserve it
(oh no)
i don’t think i deserve it
(oh no)
i think back to every dollar i saved
i look back at every choice i made
and i asked is it worth it
(was it worth it)
yeah i think that it was it worth it
(yeah i think that it was it worth it)
[verse 2]
high school i followed the rules
for real
straight a student
i was sealing the deal
thought about the music
couldn’t see the appeal
but i was touched in a way
not many people could feel
wasn’t a player but i crushed a lot
took the stage
hoping i could clutch a spot
stepped into the booth
will i fold or not
glimpsed the pinnacle
and i brushed the top
became a passion
ready for action at any time
notebook
left it on the bench
lost so many rhymes
found it after class
and somebody graded every line
that’s a sign
that it was time to level up
i was saving checks
drumming for churches
who unsupportive of the dream
graduated
dropped my first album, 17
everything since i been trying to reclaim
a little piece of myself
i’m not the same
[chorus]
now i am not the man i thought i’d be
why would god choose a man like me
when i don’t think i deserve it
(oh no)
i don’t think i deserve it
(oh no)
i think back to every dollar i saved
i look back at every choice i made
and i asked is it worth it
(was it worth it)
yeah i think that it was it worth it
(yeah i think that it was it worth it)
[verse 3]
got a little older
noticed things didn’t pan out
but i kept working
i ain’t ever have my hand out
i made decisions
thinking i was supposed to lead teams
wasted time
made me have to wipe the slate clean
it’s been a long time coming
all this little bread crumbing
people think they know me through the phone
thought that i was living in my purpose
but my art and my creations
mean nothing if i’m dying alone
okay i’m over that
i prayed about
and the truth is i been holding back
tranquil, a river
if i’m blazing then i’m joey crack
i’m young and old enough to fix
the areas i lack in
i’m black enough to know
the world would like to see me slacking
subtle reactions to the weight i’m carrying
the last son
aunty asked me who i’m marrying
i’ll write about it in the stories i pen
the road is long
i gotta see it to the end
[chorus]
now i am not the man i thought i’d be
why would god choose a man like me
when i don’t think i deserve it
(oh no)
i don’t think i deserve it
(oh no)
i think back to every dollar i saved
i look back at every choice i made
and i asked is it worth it
(was it worth it)
yeah i think that it was it worth it
(yeah i think that it was it worth it)
