Inception
What happens to a dream, infer, make the connection
They say that hip-hop needed to be resurrected
Well here's my best effort, bitch here comes the resurrection
Resurrected like that, I'mma make this shit [?}
Get high jump over the moon and [?] gimme some room
I think I'm finna get in the zone listening to tunes
While my nigga stay up floating, fly like a balloon
And the weird pants sagging, appearance of a goon
Then again, they fit, can't just bag 'em when your shit cost a grip
And I can't lose grip just like a fumble or a slip
Tryna be stuck in the game, locksmith, and your girl's a [?]
So wonder where have [?]] make-believe rules, number 5 on this dick
On some funny shit, I'm tryna make it like really make it
Take a bath in my cash like is he really naked?
But I'm just sayin'

Destin Choice Route (b. October 31, 1990), better known by the stage name J.I.D, is an American rapper from Zone 6, Atlanta, Georgia. He describes himself as “a soft-spoken but intricate lyricist with a cocky side.” His stage name originates from “jittery,” his grandmother’s nickname for him due to his sporadic behavior as a child.

J.I.D began attending Hampton University on a football scholarship in the fall of 2008. At that time, he was nicknamed ‘Jidd’ and released music under multiple variations of that name. His first mixtape, CakeWalk, was released in May 2010 and featured a number of friends from Hampton. The tape also marked two of his earliest collaborations with EARTHGANG. He released his second mixtape, CakeWalk 2, in June 2011. J.I.D was expelled from Hampton at some point during his senior year. Route of Evil was released in June 2012 as J.I.D’s third mixtape. DJ Tay James, Justin Bieber’s official DJ, hosted each of these three mixtapes. J.I.D does not publicly acknowledge any of these tapes, and they are not easily discoverable on the internet.

In October 2013, J.I.D released Para Tu, his fourth mixtape. Around this time, he also officially created the Spillage Village collective with EARTHGANG, Hollywood JB, and JordxnBryant. J.I.D re-released Para Tu on SoundCloud in December 2017 after fans had discovered it and were posting it online.
