Boastin' Up
I wake up every morning to my fans shoutin' my name,
C-Mal, the most dynamite rapper that ever became.
Full schedule ahead, but don't be frightened,
I'll tell you my autobiography so be prepared to be enlightened.
I came from the town of W. I. N. C.,
born as a Malick, a family of brilliancy.
I was born to be a champion at everything I do,
but I was bedeviled with a poor mindset and wrong point of view.
I've seen some wicked cruelty, mayhem, and hysteria,
feeling determined, I threw my past in the flamin' crematoria.
I used to be angry, sinful, and bitter,
gave up easily and was labeled a quitter.
Not concerned about others, just protecting my own,
I guess I didn't realize there was so much to atone.
I redirected my life, and now I'm on the top,
all I had to do was make an emotional swap.
I'm happier than ever and laugh all the time,
I could have had this all along if I had just made the climb.
Determined to succeed, I made a promise to myself,
to give a hundred percent, that's enough in itself.
Although I'm not perfect, I'm pretty darn close,
because I am who I am, and that has a lot to show.
I'm conscientious and reliable, a leader at best,
I tend to succeed even when I'm substantially stressed.
I am a force to be reckoned with, I'll blow you away,
like symphonious spinning suction clouds that you can't soothsay.
I won't remember you, but you'll remember me,
because I figured out the secret to the lock's key.
I overcame it once, and I'll overcome it again,
anger that amplifies my allegiance to happiness, amen.
