Fool by Embis Lyrics
[Hook]
I've been a fool
For too long
For too long
[Verse 1]
I used to choose to use music as a tool to look cool
'Cause new kids moving to school wasn't, you were a nuisance
So when the quiet kid started doin' music, the news went flyin' in
To classrooms and people would lose it, "hi, uh, kid?"
"So I heard you rap, dude, can I listen to it?"
I would dismiss 'em 'cause I knew it lacked
Face was probably blue and black
One day I played it, it blew 'em back
As if the pistols I was talkin' bout poppin'
Wasn't cappin', if you were that
Age in that grade, you'd say anything to get you made
Polly get you laid, "It's so lit, you paid?" "No, I ain't"
They laughin', "You cappin'? You rappin' well"
"If it happens, still, make sure you grab a deal"
"It's easy, open the cabinet and grab a pill, rap 'bout how you feel"
I'm actin' thrilled, but no way I'm doin' that, right?
After class, laughter blasts my way
"Your shit is trash! You rap about about cash, but where it at?"
"Where's the strap that you claim you pack?"
"Don't say that word, you ain't black!"
[Hook]
I've been a fool
For too long
For too long
[Verse 2]
I feel hurt, start walkin'
They aren't talkin', some other kid daps me up
"Yo, your tape was fire!" I say, "I'm tired, I've had enough"
Already? I ain't even have a buck? "Don't let it fuck you up!"
"They talk shit if you walk in they path, they suck!"
I run away, it's chaotic, a hoard of 8, guess they bought it
Followin' me, I try to flee, sobbin', I hide in the stall, "Screw off!"
Blew off my cap, but I ain't even blow yet
I don't know if I can take this, how can I blow up big?
Got to thinkin' 'bout what they said, I let it sink in
On the brink off a meltdown, I open up SoundCloud
Delete every beat every song that was heat
It felt wrong, it felt right, if I write a rhyme that is mine
About my life as not to try and glorify the gory violent style of life
But pourin' mine into the paper with stories
Like your tourin' my mind
'Cause when your as boring as I, gotta get creative with it
And I'm still maturing with time
[Hook]
I've been a fool
For too long
For too lon
I've been a fool
For too long
For too long
