Eminem said opportunity comes once in a lifetime,
This might be my one shot so listen to me rhyme,
I’ve been a troubled kid since the day I was born,
Getting suspended from school yelled at and scorned,
If none of that I was getting warned,
But one day I was reading the rose that grew from concrete,
And as I sat back in my seat,
I realized that a rapper was what I wanted to be,
Lil Wayne Eminem an 2pac, inspired me,
An everyone that knows me would have to agree,
As far as I can see rap is all I got
Without that ill just sit here and rot,
But I know I gotta talent that many do not.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
