B SIDE FAN
Idris Goodwin

Maybe exaggerating
But seriously I’m sayin

Been writin rhymes from a very early age and
Until my old age – catch on the stage
Spittin what I memorized off the page

I always been a b-side fan
Aint growin out of it

This art in this its life
This is how I get through it

This is how we get through it


Maybe my scope is local
Maybe I aim my vocals
At my ten friends
My wife and others in my social
Cipher
Been writing rhymes since
I was in diapers
My rattle my mic
I threw food to excite the table
And when I was able to stand
I screamed out in baby talk
Everybody clap ya hands
And nod ya head / instead of cradling bed
I cradled my parents records
Muttering whatever the voices said
When I got my baby teeth – I started eatin beats
Devouring all the words I heard other people speak
I knew I was unique my favorite words was DJ drop the heat
With baby nikes on the bottom of my feet

Before indie record deals
I was on big wheels
Beatboxin like buff

While my brother spit the real

Maybe exaggerating
But seriously I’m sayin

Been writin rhymes from a very early age and
Until my old age – catch on the stage
Spittin what I memorized off the page

And I always been a b-side fan
Aint growin out of it

This art in this its life

This is how I get through it

This is how we get through it

I always been a b-side fan
This is how we get through it

I was a teenage rapper
I wanted to master
Every style possible
Slower and faster
Tried to learn the axe
The piano and sax
But i couldn’t catch a feelin
Like a did with lyricism
All the places I’ve lived in
The pad and the pen been

Next to raw instrumentals some of my friends did
Some of them hung up the mpc
Sold they reason program for a bigger tv

And that’s all good I guess
To each they own
But I always keep a fresh rhyme inside my dome

this aint just rappin for me
Iits more than artistry
More than a simple need to have a
bunch of strangers notice me
Or start quotin me
Though its nice though
Magazine covers
Big tours rockin hype shows

Its fun but I don’t call it a game
I do this to keep alive what
For me did the same

Maybe exaggerating
But seriously I’m sayin

Been writin rhymes from a very early age and
Until my old age – catch on the stage
Spittin what I memorized off the page

I always been a b-side fan
Aint growin out of it

This art in this its life
This is how I get through it

This is how we get through it
