VIOLET by King Ulysses Lyrics
VERSE 1
Have you Dizzy
Like Galispe when I put on tracks like these
Cause I know I’m a star
Drawing circles around MCs
Can you believe it? 6 months
See all I’ve achieved?
Only the second album I’ve done
Guess I gotta run three
Cause some good things come with that, in fact, you just wait and see
Used to be Lil U way back in grade 3
I rapped in science class
Ms. Piterski
So ahead of my time
I was 13 going on 30
Who knew AP Lang would give me what I’d need?
Stacking like Shonda, gave me rhymes aplenty
Back track to the eighth and now it’s Language Arts
Carvajal said pick pro or con not too hard
I was thinking about homework
And how we shouldn’t do it
Turned it to a rap
Didn’t know I could do this (facts!)
A month later I rapped about MacDuff just to prove it
Cause the whole crowd 8 mile, I just made em lose it
I went modern Shakespeare rapping about Macbeth
On that last class assignment
That was fun way back then
And I grew along the way
Knew I was Dr. Rubiks
And I had some more to say
Knew I should do this
VERSE 2
Fast forward
I was in high school in my favorite class
Yeah, I never studied
But I always passed, look at that
Down the field no quarterback
At lunch get my quarters back
Vending machine no snack
Found a crisp twenty
How about them stacks?
But back to the raps
I was in English class
And Ms. Vazquez was absent
We had a sub that day, now I’m feeling it
Pound Cake beat played
And just like this
They asked me to spit it so I went all in
Rhymes on the fly I was trying to get
Some inspiration while I’m making my hits
They thought I was playing but I do it like this
Not what I was saying the shoe don’t fit
VERSE 3
Now I’m stepping forward into that college
Where I was forced to acknowledge all of my knowledge
In the hobby I claim now I’m balling
Like a phone I’m looking at my calling
Cards on the table and now I’m all in
Better movies back in the day, revenge of the fallen
Now I’m transforming
Cause I’m no longer scared of performing
Or that global warming we’ll find a way
In these times live day by day
Called myself King Ulysses
I’ll explain, Dan gave me a good idea and hey
It sounded dope so I said okay
Hopped on the beat and bombs away
I started feeling like royalty
Now the game is in disarray
Treat fame like a horse
I tell it nay
Been that way ever since
It continues today
Now I’m mixing some hits
So you listen to what I say
Have you Dizzy
Like Galispe when I put on tracks like these
Cause I know I’m a star
Drawing circles around MCs
Can you believe it? 6 months
See all I’ve achieved?
Only the second album I’ve done

Cause some good things come with that, in fact, you just wait and see
