Lyrics Packy – History
Text:
I went from
Sneaking into Mom’s car listening to Eminem
To getting pad and pen and writing down bars then
It was Common then Kanye, Talib Kweli
Nas, Hov, Pac, Biggie and Andre
Gang Starr, Big L, Duns put me on
I was catching up had to hear every damn song then
I heard some little brother
That shit was genius to me
I never thought rap would mean this to me now
I’m on that new shit
Tryin’ to be a part of it
New movement never forgetting the start of it
I remember scratching lyrics in my notebook
Matchin’ ’em to beats and coming up with a cold hook
For no reason, I wasn’t recording
I didn’t want people to hear, it wasn’t important
Life inside the headphones, it was safe
It was my world, it was my place
Never thought I’d be this guy, not afraid to try
Not only will I take the stage, I stage dive
Used to be shy, now I’m like why
They told me stay grounded, now I’m like fly
Damn, remember the first show
Remember the first road trip
And the first cho
That was the days
Now it’s the life
Music was the mistress
And now it’s the wife
Gang Starr, Big L, Duns put me on
I was catching up had to hear every damn song then
I heard some little brother
That shit was genius to me
I never thought rap would mean this to me now
I’m on that new shit
Tryin’ to be a part of it
New movement never forgetting the start of it
I remember scratching lyrics in my notebook
Matchin’ ’em to beats and coming up with a cold hook
For no reason, I wasn’t recording
I didn’t want people to hear, it wasn’t important
Life inside the headphones, it was safe
It was my world, it was my place
Never thought I’d be this guy, not afraid to try
Not only will I take the stage, I stage dive
Used to be shy, now I’m like why
They told me stay grounded, now I’m like fly
Damn, remember the first show
Remember the first road trip
And the first cho
That was the days
Now it’s the life
Music was the mistress
And now it’s the wife
I want it like that
