Childhood

(JT on the track, wait)
 They say I'm a crayon, short of the full box
 I took it outside, I colored the whole block
 I chalked the sidewalk 'til about 10 o'clock
 Listened to my soul, I'm right in the right spot
 I see the world in technicolor rainbows
 Officer of God walk around in my plain clothes
 I want monopoly money, I'll call it play dough
 I'm off the beaten path, I got no need for these paved roads
 I'm on a mission to lighten up the load
 And clear up your mind, do it with all my shows
 And my poems and my songs and my writings and my rhymes
 Failed first grade, I couldn't stay in these lines
 But I looked for wisdom in the world, and then I found my youth
 This inner kid's fearless, he's screaming from the roof
 I'm only five-six, but don't get me wrong
 There's love in my heart, and I know she made me strong
 I've been high, I've been low
 I've been crazy, lost control
 But now I'm flying, overhead
 You won't see me coming down, I got no regrets
 I never felt at a home, sittin' in a classroom
 I packed my stuff, tell the teacher I'll be back soon
 My own folks said I wasn't so artistic
 That lit a fire up inside and set me on this mission
 I'm, I'm settin' every sight on shining like a light
 If I don't succeed today, then I'll be back tomorrow night
 I feel the eyes of every other dreamer and I'm
 Never backing down, Kobe Grover's calling me a cleaner
 Don't judge a book's cover, gotta tattered jacket
 Diamonds only shine if you polish every facet
 I'm perfectly imperfect, when the moment comes I'll grab it
 Infectious melodies must be why my fans are rabid
 Forget the court, I got vision for this whole league
 Make a little bit of mischief, spit low-key
 I'm fathoms deep, dreams in reach, always practice what I preach
 Watch the leaves in the breeze, take a breath, I'm at peace
 I've been high, I've been low
 I've been crazy, lost control
 But now I'm flying, overhead
 You won't see me coming down, I got no regrets
