INDIO

MY RAP STORY FEELS A LIL BIT LIKE JUICY WHEN BIGGIE SAYS IT WAS ALL A DREAM... BUT I CAME UP IN FLUSHING QUEENS, WASNT RICH BUT I WASNT LIVING POOR, HAD FOOD HAD KICKS HAD GIRLS AND SOME MONEY, NO FREE MASON MONEY BUT SOMETHING LIKE FREE INDIO MONEY....SINCE I WAS IN 4TH GRADE I WANTED TO SPIT LIKE BUCKSHOT SHORTY FROM BLACKMOON...YEARS PASSED AND I NEVER REALLY TRIED TO BE THE RAPPER OR THE BADDEST MC YOU SEEN, TILL THE 1ST TIME I RECORDED OVER A BEAT AND THATS WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENED WITHOUT FORCING THE TALENT... I WAS LIKE 16 OR 17 , AND MY DUDE AT THE TIME JNYCE WAS SPITTING AND I RECORDED OVER THE SE ACABO BEAT FROM THE BEATNUTS, I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO RIGHT IN SONG FORMAT OR IN SEQUENCE OR COUNT THE BARS... SO I JUST FREESTYLED OVER THE TRACK LIKE NOTHING.. IT WAS 1999 AND I SPIT LIKE A VETERAN IN ENGLISH MIXED WITH SPANISH, SAYING SOME SHIT LIKE "STICKING MY SALAMI RIGHT THRU YOUR MAMI, YALL CANT STOP ME BAJAPANTY" @ THE TIME I CALLED MY SELF DON JUAN DE MARCO, CUZ MY GOVERNMENT IS MARCO ANTONIO....WHEN WE PLAYED THE TAPE FOR PEOPLE THEY WERE LIKE YOUR FLOW AND WORD PLAY IS CRAZY AND YOUR VOICE SOUNDS GOOD, SO I USED THAT FOR A BOOST AND INSURANCE THAT I HAD THIS GIFT.........AFTER THAT I GOT ON MY MONEY RUN AND THATS WHEN MY MIND WAS IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE FROM 18-21 YEARS OLD, I TAUGHT FLIPPING OZ POPPING BOTTLES BLOWING TREES CHASING GIRLS WAS THE SHIT...SO I RE INVENTED MYSELF TO "PROFIT"....THATS ALL I CARED ABOUT AT THE TIME... THEN I SAW THE DECEPTION IN FRONT OF ME , PEOPLE LOVED ME BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CAN GET FROM ME AND NOT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF RESPECT AND REAL LOVE FOR ME......SO FROM 21-TO PRESENT 25 YRS OLD, I WAS LIKE YO IM INDIO IM INDIO.....CUZ MY REAL FAM CALL ME INDIO CUZ MY BRO AND SIS WERE BORN IN THE 70S IN CORONA QUEENS AND I WAS BORN IN THE 80S IN ECUADOR.. SO BEEN HALF DOMININCAN AND ECUDORIAN I WAS LIKE FUCK IT IM INDIO THATS WHAT I REP TO THE END.....NOW I DO MUSIC BECAUSE ITS THERAPY TO ME I RELEASE ALL THAT ENERGY IN THE RIGHT WAY.. INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME AND INTELLIGENCE... I JUST FOLLOW WHAT JAY-Z SAID ; " WHY YOU GONNA TALK ABOUT IT IF YOU AINT LIVE IT".... SO EVERYTHING I SPIT I LIVED HOMIE AND I KEEPS IT REAL...
