Born For This Songtext
von Dumbfoundead

Yo, 1986 a star was in the making
I had no idea that the world was for the taking
Received my education from the television stations
My family never had them dinner conversations
When they got back from work, you see their backs would hurt
So I provided laughter, my earliest acting work
Doing dances, lip syncing rappers
Impersonating Michael Jackson and kung fu captions
Ha, funny guy, never had the butterflies
Never shy, every five minutes I would improvise Class clown, had jokes before a peach fuzz
Ask around, I was roasting ′em like peanuts
Dime bags in middle school, my Walkman
My life saver through dark days and lost angels
Fourteen candles when I wrote a sixteen
For the first time my first rhymes were shitty
So we practiced and the homie tracked us
It attracted mad bitches to the mattress
Spent more time on my rapping than fractions
Dropped all my classes, cause I was born for this

Yeah I was born for this
I was born for this
Yeah I was born for this


Uh, yo
But damn yo, shoulda heard the corny Jackie Chan jokes
Thinking they were getting me when they bout to get handled
Rambo killing my crew like Sam Crow
Crammed seven in a van, man it wasn't grandiose, nah
Shows were grassroots before the cash ruled
Gas money tours, we were sleeping on the floors
If you saw me and Zo way before then you would know
We have grown, if we had a chart it′d be a slope
Going up, up, see the slope going up
The student became the teacher now the kid blowing up
Don't ever leave a mic cold, flow when the cameras roll
Signed that open mic list, hunger shoulda told you this
Crenshaw or rock a bar mitzvah
Any chance I got was like that and like this y'all
Takes ten years not ten seconds to lift off
Stay patient and try not to get pissed cause
Fifteen year old John woulda served youngin
Nineteen year old John woulda served time
But old boy John, man he out here having fun
And the best is yet to come, I was born for this

Yeah I was born for this
I was born for this
Yeah I was born for this
