Hi! I am a rapper and I put alot of thought into my lyrics, and i was wondering if typing me based off a song i wrote on my newest project would work, especially because people describe my style as very honest, authentic, and personal.

"Home"
Growing up i always wanted to be somewhere else
Not cause i was sad, or cause i was in bad health but
Cause i was wanderlustful, hated being in bubbles
Because for all we know tomorrow this shit could go crumble!
Was kinda distant as a kid, 'cept for when we'd adventure
Nothing better than being absorbed into the cultures
Or seeing other homes just, keep looking at posters
Or places on google maps, Japan i got my hopes up
Ay, I guess i found home in not being there
Focused on what could be with an optimistic flair
That life turned to a 180, thought i was going crazy
Had countless crises on identities i was debating
360'd that boy, aint no red rings of death here
at UIC I gotta be just living my best years
And always stay on the grind, keep on cooking up the rhymes
So you can make an impact on the world in your time
Bruh you're the shit but just remember don't you ever get too cocky
That type of attitude leaves you dismembered with the cops e-
specially cause you're black, take a look at the facts
We try to make it home but some ain't never coming back
And i got lucky, and made it just for all the holidays
But Christmas ain't that jolly, lame, i wonder who's really to blame?
My home's changed and yeah that could give me pain
But instead imma create some more under my name
Because I'm finding myself
Yeah i'm finding myself
I need to go home
What's a home to me, and what's a home to you
Is it where you can say it all and really act a fool
Or is it where you can relax, jack off to the baddest
Sip on some Corona and then go and play some Madden
Maybe it's when you're really out there on the field with your helmet
Or your cleats or your Jordans, and when the ball goes in
You count that as a bonus, cause playing's what the point is
You do it for enjoyment, and not for all the coins, but
You're human, and taking L's hurts sometimes
Being with your girl or your guy makes it alright
You know whichever way you ride, they might not know that they're your type
So y'all better go and show 'em 'fore the relationships lights turn off
Damn i was scared to move into that home, was it 'cause of my backbone?
Or because i had grown to find home in these beats instead, catharsis of my head
Turned into killing all these other rappers with a pen!
Might go make a couple M's, long as i find home in it
Work can't drain your soul, if it does change up your goals, because
What's the point of living if you don't end up happy?
Or making any difference? Yo I can say i've witnessed-
people drifting along, without some drive myself included
Didn't have the slightest clue where I'd end up, thought i'd be ruined
Now I don't know exactly where this ocean will end
But imma keep on swimming in it 'till I bump into land
Because I'm finding myself
Yeah, I'm finding myself
I need to go home
