Vision Of Me

August 2024 single from London's 'Crows'

[Chorus: Spose] I'm still rappin' for my money, I don't got no boss above me Run it, I guess that I always done it (My own way) I've never been a bitch when it comes to takin' risks How else could this shit exist? I did it (My own way) I step back in reflection, that's a solo intervention I won't hinder my progression, I'm not in (My own way) Preposterously dank, [?] we all got lost off bank I just gotta give me thanks, I did it all (My own) [Verse 1: Spose] I lost a label deal, I could've went and folded my chair Packed it up and then checked it off the list, but hold it right there 'cause they got this vision of me sittin', crown of gold in my hair I never threw a tantrum, I just wrote a hundred anthems Sounds like Bryan Cranston, I could teach you plus I'm cookin' up I was smilin' at 'em back when everyone was lookin' tough I bent the metal before the cookies cut I became this published author, dad and rhymer, app designer, look him up I always came from a different lane Still a trailblazer, I feel like I'm Dame with a different game Only well known name who spit in Maine I used to push the M-O-P at movie theater, got a little fame My parents screamin', I was dreamin' of a tour bus Was makin' beats up in my bedroom with the door shut I did the work, I paid my dues, then I [?] Joey trimmed my hair but I never took a shortcut I'm not the same as them and that rewarded him The things that made me alien have made the cash accordion Banks told 50, 50 told Yay and then I learned everything I'm not made me everything I am [Chorus: Spose] I'm still rappin' for my money, I don't got no boss above me Run it, I guess that I always done it (My own way) I've never been a bitch when it comes to takin' risks How else could this shit exist? I did it (My own way) I step back in reflection, that's a solo intervention I won't hinder my progression, I'm not in (My own way) Preposterously dank, [?] we all got lost off bank I just gotta give me thanks, I did it all (My own) [Verse 2: Jay Caron] I've never put my hands out to get a hand-out Anything I've done, I took the independent man route Hustled on the side to gain experience and branch out Never really fit in anything I do, just stands out There's no doubt about it, 'cause livin' free And makin' your own decisions 'bout your vision is a narcotic A byproduct of workin' hard and bein' driven If you without it, then how will you really live and see? Nothing was give to me, if it was, I never asked it for it Been in the game for 20+, the knowledge gained, I'm passin' it I'm passionate, built to go the distance, got the stamina This triple threat been gettin' cash and checks without a manager Uhn, shout out to Canada, and other foreign lands Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I'm the fuckin' man Will never show my hand, I never fold but I be callin' bluffs No tellin' what my future holds, I'm in control and that's enough [Chorus: Spose] I'm still rappin' for my money, I don't got no boss above me Run it, I guess that I always done it (My own way) I've never been a bitch when it comes to takin' risks How else could this shit exist? I did it (My own way) I step back in reflection, that's a solo intervention I won't hinder my progression, I'm not in (My own way) And somehow, the kids survived I'll get rich or die on (My own) [Outro: Bensbeendead.] I get out of my own way I get out of my own way I get out of my own way I get out of my own way I get out of my own way This is how I say I get out of my own way I get out of my own way I get out of my own way This is how I say (Goodbye)
