Toast by Xpertize Lyrics
Intro - I saw the growth in me, so I raise a toast to me/
V1- Here’s a toast to me/
This how shit suppose to be/
All the times I told myself no/
Now I say yes like Floetry/
All that pain and stress was exposing
Me/
Clinged to my poetry strong/
Going in circles, trying to make a call
A call with no rotary, phone/
Gotta new data plan, new tools that
Came in handyman/
Life wasn’t too sweet in the chi when I
Saw the candy man/
25 cent worth of frooties, I thought I
Knew me/
10 deep riding the bus, just to see a
Movie/
The good ole days/
Was just a phase that helped me turn
To nеxt page/
Been rapping since 11 but was 28
When I first rockеd the stage/
Don’t matter how long it took
Just as long as I did it/
Made a decision to stay committed/
Now things are way more vivid/
Played my position, searching for
Redemption/
David Ruffin, the temptations had me
Tempted/
Even left my girl filled with resentment/
But...
If I had to say so J-lo I had enough/
It was too dark so I turned my light on
Man had to switch to up/
They don’t idolize you if your not rich
Enough/
Bob the builder no where to be found
When the hood needs fixing up/
That’s the reason why I’m not
Giving up/
Put the blame on me I was the one
That I couldn’t trust/
Thankful for speed bumps in due time
So there’s no need to rush/
V1- Here’s a toast to me/
This how shit suppose to be/
All the times I told myself no/
Now I say yes like Floetry/
All that pain and stress was exposing
Me/
Clinged to my poetry strong/
Going in circles, trying to make a call
A call with no rotary, phone/
Gotta new data plan, new tools that
