Ursa Major, Vice Souletric - Book of Rhymes Lyrics

Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
Only dreamed of making songs
Now they pay me just to see me live

Yeah... that's it

Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
Only dreamed of making songs
Now they pay me just to see me live
Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
They told me i should stay away
Now this music thing keeps me alive

Yeah see we started from rock bottom now it's clear
We caught a couple ears. Now we tappin beers, cheers!
Made a couple of fools out of those who thought otherwise
Made a couple a moves that Kyrie might utilize
Leave the mic brutalized, assault wit the deadly
I'm waiting and ready to hit em off with the medley
Got a lot of beats and rhymes thats unreleased
You ain't heard that come off superb to say the least
I remember back when I first tapped the MP
Show dates wack man, in fact it was empty
Vision's 20 20 when it's comes to the hindsight
I was always dope. Just had to get on my grind right
Get me the right bag through hustle I'm right back to bust you
It's like that. Don't need no iPads to touch you
In ya soul with this music that's high class and troubled
Here to tell the kids they can't bypass the struggle

Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
Only dreamed of making songs
Now they pay me just to see me live
Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
They told me i should stay away
Now this music thing keeps me alive

The way that my quotes is, they compare me to poets
My 16s like Yeats, frame my stanzas like Coleridge
They be open for hope, i just change up the scope
Like: "you thinking too local, the whole world need to know"
I be fiendin' for more, i got a need to explore
I just take shots like JR, i let the ref keep the score
Left my ACL torn, and went back out on the floor
If they let me thru, i'm Hodor, man i will hold the door!
See its Ursa Mejor, i never asked for no favors
Ain't no regular player, i got drafted to change it
I started out on some paper, now I switched to my phone
'Cause the best ideas be hitting when i'm "Far From Home"
They know they know, well they starting to get it
Its the label label, and we got Vice Souletric
We some underground legends, and the sample is blessed
I stay barkin on tracks cause all dogs go to heaven
This for the friends who just listen, they don't be askin' no questions
They showin up at the shows and say "see you at the next one"
Yes suh, you know it, but i ain't one for flexin
My opportunities growing, but trust me i still remember!

Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
Only dreamed of making songs
Now they pay me just to see me live
Started out with a book of rhymes
Started out with a book of rhymes
They told me i should stay away
Now this music thing keeps me alive
