Intro Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Music is my savior, when i was young, where I'm from people didn't get out, people just sat on the corners hustling for years, no sense of hope, just an addiction to survive off other peoples addictions, so i made music mine, him right there, he ran the spot, you couldn't make no money without seeing him, and them right there, well, they work for him, you see a lot of faces just come through and just disappear , not because they move up, mostly because they either dead or in jail, music saved my life, it kept me inside, it brought me home early, it kept me in the right place at the right time, so i dedicate this album to music, music is my savior...LETS DO THIS!
Ever since my birth they thought i was cursed been through the worst but i found a road, not knowing that eventually they would mention me as the next hot thing to blow, not only that, I'm coming from a place where they literally expect mc's to pop, they say New York got buried in the game so i guess I'm tha nigga to bring it back on top, yes sir this is the year no looking back lets make it clear, I'm on the map, wanna know where the futures at? well your looking at him right here, first place please slide to the rear as i make my way up, one-six-four to the bill boat, in the end gotta make em pay up, now pay us, switch and owe us some familiar now you know us, so on top of the chain see your ceilings is a flow us and we building even more now the futures looking pretty, so in love with the game the futures looking pretty so in love with the game I'm about to build a city and call it hip hop, ain't no stopping it its the brand new metropolis, we set the trends crystal started acting up now the world start poppin' cris' we bought bands in the picture mention phantom on the track, drove they sales up and witnessed the intensity of rap, its a wrap!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Shawn Mims (born March 22, 1981 in Washington Heights, New York City), better known by his stage name Mims, is an American rapper of Jamaican descent signed to his own American King Records. In 2007 he released his debut album, Music is My Savior, and his second album, Guilt was released in April of 2009. He is perhaps best known for his debut single, This Is Why I'm Hot, which was a smash hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mims graduated High School and enrolled at Nassau Community College. He left the institution after a mere two months of classes to pursue a career in rap music. He began spending time in Harlem with Cam'ron as an acquaintance. In 2001, he was discovered by Quincy S/Duq Entertainment and soon after featured on a Canadian compilation entitled Private Party Collectors Edition Vol. 2, by Baby Blue Soundcrew. His guest appearance on the single "Love Em' All", alongside Choclair, enabled him to be recognized in Canada. The music video was nominated for a MMVA award. This song was never officially released in the United States. Mims also released his own single entitled "L.O.V.E." which was commercially unsuccessful.

Soon after his recognition in Canada, he would gain connections with Blackout Movement. He would release his first U.S. Single, "I Did You Wrong" gaining modest momemtum across the United States. This would not be enough to finalize a legitimate record deal for the artist. In 2006, He began to record tracks for Latin hip hop label Urban Box Office. He decided that it would be in his best interests to structure his own label situation. He would create American King Music alongside business partners Corey Llewellyn & Erik Mendelson.

Mims released "This Is Why I'm Hot" which gained respectable momemtum across the country as a direct result of his immediate camp and company. This created much attention for Mims as labels that had previously turned him down began to show interest. Following meetings with EMI mainly Capitol Records, Mims decided to sign his American King Music imprint with the company in November of 2006.

He immediately began to work on his debut album, Music Is My Savior emphasizing that Capitol Records understood him and his aspirations. During the summer of 2007, Mims released his second single, "Like This. The song became a minor hit on the radio. Also released from the album was "Just Like That.

Mims released his second effort on April 7, 2009, titled "Guilt". In October 2008, "Move (If You Wanna)" became the first official single from Mims' new album, peaking at #63 on the Hot 100 charts. The second single was released to radio alongside his album on April 7, 2009, entitled "Love Rollercoaster" featuring LeToya Luckett.
