It's about that time for my voice to be heard
This mixtape is modestly crafted
Title is actually accurate
Studying hip hop like students getting their bachelor's
Feel like I came from the bottom
And all people rose up
Always told to keep my head up
But to never put my nose up
My biological father, yeah
I recall him vaguely
Whatever, life goes on
Wonder if he would have forgave me
If I suddenly walked out
Well look who's destined for greatness
Who is this really all about?
Me
Not to sound conceited, this is lyrically compacted
I'm been dominating since the year kobe
Was drafted
This is
Set in stone, like a law, that's been enacted
Every politician backed it
Bill passed
Now look who's rapping
Recorded this mixtape with a konami microphone
Free beats, shoutout to chill and now I finally own
That flow I'm blessed with to convey my life, words, and tone
Rap fans salute my presence
Lyrical gifts I hone
Uh huh
Modestly Crafted, I'm comin at ya
Didn't even know that I could rap but I'm a natural
Doing my thing, til' the very end of time
And thats the truth
Something else on fire and It ain't the roof
Modestly crafted, modestly crafted
This mixtape, modestly crafted
Modestly crafted, modestly crafted
This mixtape, modestly crafted
Second verse, I immerse you
Into my life through words
The life of a rapper, artist, poet, and self-proclaimed nerd
Forget what you heard, I'm destined
To make a difference
Sometimes I sit and ponder whether I should
Go the distance
To think this all began on the 10th day of August
Back in 96
But now I'm talking about being modest
Being loving, being honest
Being reliable, and fair
Because we live in a cold world where people blatantly
Don't care
We live in a world full
Of murder, mayhem, lies, and smoking dope
It warms my heart to know my music can be somebody's shred of hope
When I was a kid, I could see my parents struggling
Wonder why I'm not rapping about hustling
Because I'm not a gangsta, I'm not a happy rapper
I don't claim or try to fake because I'm not a good actor
I'm not judging either, because everybody has a story
And everybody can testify to God's sweet grace and
Wonderful glory
Modestly Crafted, I'm comin at ya
Didn't even know that I could rap but I'm a natural
Doing my thing, til' the very end of time
And thats the truth
Something else on fire and It ain't the roof
Modestly crafted, modestly crafted
This mixtape, modestly crafted
Modestly crafted, modestly crafted
