Deeper Than Rap Lyrics - K-st3rg

Let's take it way back 

Way way back 

When I hooping in the summer time w j jack 

I had black doui on to get the waves back 

I used to lay back 

I had the hoop dreams 

moved to Garfield- a new team 

Different neighborhood it a new scene 

Met some new people leaned a few things 

was the only freshman on the hoop team 

Varsity was tough 

Get good grades make good plays but good wasn't enough 

No short cuts is what my dad taught me 

Hoop gear the only thing my dad bought me 

I was the gym like every morning when the kids snoring it was never boring 

But my hips hurted I ignored warnings 

had to live up to the ones befo me 

mike d trey even tony 

I looked up to 

I had to pull thru

But 

It went downhill 

No one understand how Kyle feel 

When ya Mind in it but yo body not 

Had the coaches coming , then they finally stopped 

Tried to play it thru then it finally poped 

Hip surgery everybody shocked 

Could I go d1? Shit prolly not 

I was depressed and stressed I used to cry a lot 

I came back strong ....but It wasn't the same 

College coaches -wasn't really saying my name 

Remember days I didn't wanna go to my game 

But a nigga had to face it Get a free education 

Put to much time in just to have to waste it 

It was coming to end I could feel it I could taste it 

I can't quit 

People doubted 

College came I had the same problems

Guess the surgery didn't help at all 

I hit a brick wall 

just wanted to ball 

Where the closest cliff shit I might fall 

I used to question just who I was 

I asked God why he took away the only thing that I really loved 

Next move cuz the time clocking 

Coaches office he was hurtin taking 

Sayin "son u need quit playing cuz if u keep playing u gone stop walking" 

Admit the news wasn't that shocking 

Hip problem like my whole life 

was a tough adjustment but tell me somthing 

How u go from hooping like ya whole life 

To just not playing thats a new life 

Tears dropping on a few nights 

I took a L once i couldn't lose twice 

I wanna take my life into some heights 

I rayed on how to do it 

Never thought I lose it 

Was talented I knew it I just to prove it focused on the music 

and thats when Marr flar took me up to the stu 

It was worth it tho I was nervous but I'm glad he came thru 

Jah asked how many recorded 

I replied wit like 2 

Sweatin heavy recorded Legendary that's when he knew 

The rest is history 

What's the future holds is mystery 

Cuz w the beats that's on his laptop 

Got us feeling like we hit the jack pot 

I can't stop 

So when I'm feeling lazy in bed 

I promise I won't forget just what my grandmother said 

And that's real 

(So it's not gonna be easy, and your not gonna like it . But it's gonna help you the most)
