1996

It was 96
A New phenomenon
9 Months after pops smashed
Without a condom on
The US Stock was up
So was I Crying
Ironically this the same year Em met Ryan
How set I am
Couldn’t get into yet
But this was before the Chrome
We used to explore the internet
Pac was still breathing
The Foo Fighters
Lenny Kravitz
And I was just teething All eyes were on me
I guess that’s why I loved Pac
But the Fugees set The Score
And I agree
Maybe yeah that was Pop
He was still around
Back before the fights
Before mom and I left
Before the back forth right
A simple time in fact
Bottle Fed insomniac
Curly hair and baby bibs
Onesies and a starter cap
This was 96
The Goat was born
Here in 96
See Truth be told
This is the signification of this generation
To many people focused on
Trying to get where they’re going
They don’t even remember where they came from
Its crazy but
I guess that’s just how it is
A crazy world we in which we live
Somehow we expected to raise our kids, but
I guess that’s just how it is
Here in 96
Born Sinner
This sinners been off running
Popping more bottles
Than a 96 gunman
The 96 Jumpman
First of the Back to Back
Donkey Kong on the Sega
The 64
With the Cartridge crack
I hadn’t spoken a word yet
No mama or Dada
Just crying and laughing
Smile and Ha ha
But who would’ve known
How dope up I would grow
Like Uhp that’s the GOAT
But me
Never stopped
Kept grinding
Until my dying day
First Christmas
My father missed it
Down at Grandmas
We would stay
Listen
This ain’t fictitious
This just
Writtens based off the pictures
Im pictured in
Fathers missing
My mom was there but its different
The quiet kid
Turned rapper
Who’s here writing this
Reciting scripts
And hes dapper
Turned to GOAT
Type to scrap ya
With the action
Of some 90 kicks
Established here
Back in 96
Get close to the one you love
Happy Nineteen Ninety Six
