Cole DeRuse - First Name is Cole

[Hook]
Last name is DeRuse, First name is Cole
Let take you on a journey to get a glimpse of my soul
25 years old, some people say I can flow
But some others have different opinions

[Verse 1]
If I did this for another’s approval, I would'a caved
Went to college and to student loans became a slave
Worked a 9-5, that rarely gave out a raise
And I woulda quit rappin’ throwin’ this passion away, uh
That ain’t no shade, I’m just sayin’ that ain’t me
I was made to rock the stage, into the crowd I must leap
I don’t own a mask and cape, I won’t fake like halloween
Homie this ain’t no masquerade, I don’t hide behind a thing
You can blame my, creative writing teacher in high school
She got me high on poetry welcome to flight school
My homework assignment was writin' some poems
And now Im spittin’ fire out the mouth like I’m a Samoan
Okay I’m blowin’ this a little bit out of proportion
But if it wasn’t for that class I would not be recordin’
You see forgettin' your beginnings could lead to misfortune
And that’s why sharin’ these snippets of my journey’s important, yeah

Let take you on a journey to get a glimpse of my soul
25 years old, some people say I can flow
Some others have different opinions, I don’t really care though
And if you didn’t know, I represent K.C. MO
Video games are my favorite and Mexican food is gold
I could eat it every day and afterwards want some more
Some other have different opinions, I don’t really care though

[Verse 2]
If I did this for another’s approval I would be dead now
Slit my wrists from the pressure and laid there 'til I bled out
Left a note for my wife, tellin’ her I loved her
But without me in her life, this is probablythe best route
But i stepped out, away from the shadows of disapproval
I didn’t let it break me though at time’s it sought my life’s removal
Those times were crucial, moldin’ my character
Every time they hated on me, I just I through up a barrier
Except for this one day, when my father sat me down
He said to stop rappin' if I wanna make this family proud
Man that was hard to shake, like a shot to the face
But now when I get up on stage, I can see him standing in the crowd
The lesson learned, is I just need to be me
Aimin’ to be excellent even when life ain’t easy
Some will be there for me, while others I need to delete
And if you can relate to my story it was worth the repeat, yeah
