lyrics

Intro
Said I used to (x4)


Verse One
I used to make beats on a Commodore Amiga,
my Brother was my biggest fan and truly a believer,
he kept me level headed ain't no acting like a diva,
I always been a dreamer with laid back demeanor,
musically eager and supported by my teacher,
my Uncle had a studio, I nurtured my procedure
for putting beats together that would nearly blow the speaker,
I met some other rappers, I would put em' on a feature,
I always had a vision; I was something like a leader,
I'm calling record labels when I pick up the receiver,
you gotta put me on as if my name was Bonita,
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita (Uhhhhh!),
vinyl getting pressed so I go see a record dealer,
and it was evident that I would be a big achiever,
hot beats like a fever, beats cold like freezer,
and my rhyme style fresh like an all-white sneaker.


Chorus
Used to (x16)



Verse Two

I used to get my breaks from this record store basement,
and then I started searching other places and locations,
scratched a couple records, I was looking for replacements,
even found some breaks when I was walking down the pavement,
and to my amazement they were super entertaining,
I wanted to make records; I'm incredibly impatient,
and hear my music play on every radio station,
so then I get some paper, writing page upon pages,
I had no time for wasting and could never get complacent,
and I was a performer, so I had to get some agents,
and did a couple shows as I was traveling the nation,
and people seemed to love it and they showed appreciation,
it didn't take me very long to build a foundation,
and now I'm making music with universal engagement,
so whether you be working or you chillin' on vacation,
just turn my music up and keep it stuck on this rotation.



Chorus



Breakdown
Here we go yo’, here we go (x4)
