"BOISE - FROM THE HALLWAYS TO THE MIC"
[Verse 1]
Back in high school days, walking these halls slow
Headphones on loud, letting the beats flow
Used to write lines down in the back of my math book
Teachers thought I was lost but I was finding my hook
First time I heard rap blast from a friend’s boombox
Felt like the rhythm was speaking straight to my heart blocks
Started scribbling words bout the life that I knew
Bout the small town grind and the dreams coming through
[Chorus]
They call me Boise – yeah that’s my name
Started from nothing, set my own flame
High school hallways where I found my way
Now I’m spitting truth every single day
They call me Boise – built from the ground
Turned my notebook rhymes into solid sound
From the classroom walls to the stage I chase
This is how I found my rightful place
[Verse 2]
Freshman year scared, trying to fit in the scene
Found my people at lunch where the speakers would scream
Old school classics mixed with new school heat
Every track I heard made my passion complete
First battle in the cafeteria, heart beating fast
Shaking in my shoes but I knew I could last
Dropped my first bars and the whole room went quiet
Then they cheered me on – man that feeling was priceless
[Verse 3]
Started making beats on my beat-up laptop
Stayed up all night when I should’ve been napping
Passed around CDs with my rough demo tracks
Every kid in school knew I was on the right path
Juniors year we started a crew in the lot
Practiced every day till we got it real hot
Wrote about exams, crushes, fights and the grind
Everything we lived – that’s what’s in my mind
[Chorus]
They call me Boise – yeah that’s my name
Started from nothing, set my own flame
High school hallways where I found my way
Now I’m spitting truth every single day
They call me Boise – built from the ground
Turned my notebook rhymes into solid sound
From the classroom walls to the stage I chase
This is how I found my rightful place
[Outro]
So if you see me now on the mic holdin
