| ...still not sure if I'm actually going to record this or not. lol. Since I haven't updated this in a while, figured I'd drop this off for some wack rapper to steal... lol. Wrote this to the "Light Up" instrumental from Drake/Jay-Z. I got stuck on Jay-Z's verse with a couple of lines...
"I'm not as cool with these niggas as I once was... I once was cool as the Fonz was, but these bright lights turned me to a monster...sorry mama I promised it wouldn't change me but I would've went insane if I remained the same me..."
Line hit home with me. Made me want to write. This is what I wrote about an hour ago.
