99/100

[Verse 1]
Laying in my room trying to get thoughts out of my head
I'm out of my mind, she out of my league and I'm still in her bed
Never believed in miracles but I got proof of her existence
And in case you missed it, this miss would make you think that I'm gifted
Living in the present, passed the future on my way to work
I decided to write a song tonight and it will find a way to surf
Sink or float, I think in quotes,
This is ragged, ravaged, raw rhyme, ragging from out of my throat
In this boat, I ink the most
Flooding title pages with sages and mages yes I made it looking fresh inside of my coat
Skinny pants, stands half a chance, the dude is a beanstalk
Keep talk to a minimum as I walk then knock giants off
Heart full of feelings and a noggin full of healings
Things I like to shatter include records, fasts and ceilings!
Always eating something or other, the hunger is a world wonder
Louder than lightning, faster than thunder, if you like it: here's my number!

[Chorus] x2
It goes 12/25/1993
D-A-N-G exclamation point just for me

Gotta say things really excited
The fire has ignited
This is you getting reminded
Longer than just one-night-ed

[Hook]
99 problems but I keep it 100
99 problems but I keep it 100
99 problems but I keep it 100
But I'm really bad at math so you might just have to double it

[Verse 2]
Well excuse me for a while
You might like me for my style
But the thing is that I do to words
is what I do to her nice smile
I am feeling very fresh
I got myself a haircut
Rolled up cuffs on my ankles
Hipster swag: I don't give a fuck
This shit, is never enough
Toned down, heart is buff
Life is this, life is such
Lift off and the cups is up
And you already know I can rap this fast
But I like doing it because I liked flash
I really like glamour, I really like cameras
I'm picking you up like good antennas
Never gonna stammer, got good grammar
Things so hot, I gotta use the hammer
Asian boy bear it all, call this the panda
and this manner is to make you laugh
Make you grin, I'm honestly not trying to look at this from a win
lose stand point but I'm pretty much at this point all in
Mentioned the girl I liked in the midst of my bravado
Awkward arrows being shot out of all of my staccato
Driving to Taco Bell, girl you know me well
I will only be coming first if in front of you is a blue shell

[Hook]
I will race across with you forever on Rainbow Road
I will take the loss for you but clever like I'm on some code
I will shake the boss so you can never have to hit reload
You ask me when this started and you already know it goes:

[Chorus] x2
It goes 12/25/1993
D-A-N-G exclamation point just for me

Gotta say things really excited
The fire has ignited
This is you getting reminded
Longer than just one-night-ed

[Hook]
99 problems but I keep it 100
99 problems but I keep it 100
99 problems but I keep it 100
But I'm really bad at math so you might just have to double it

[Verse 3]
Double it, triple it, you know I'm so sick with it
We gotta brag about ourselves, this is Hip Hop isn't it?
The boast and confidence helped boost my own
And now look at me when I'm almost 20 grown
I survived a nasty break up, every morning I still wake up
And I'm staring at your face even if I messed up your make up
Put out a book of my words, went from static to verb
And it's so shocking that the talking around the water cooler is about this sir!
I like my poems like I like my words: spoken
And lately I don't relate as much to the adjective "broken"
And notice that I'm liking myself
And if not, I'm taking steps to better my shelf
Put your favorite things on my back and I'll keep them held
Keep them safe
1st, 2nd and 3rd, I'm feeling so BASED
