Verse 1:
(0:25)
Yea
17, was a toddler, was a little child
Learned how to walk and how to talk, to be, a little wise
Picked up some sticks, some pots and pans, to make some rhythm rise
Grew up so quick, even the clock, can not tell you the time
A penthouse view, I look at the world through my father's eyes
I stop to tell myself to thank him that you are alive
Not doing drugs, or smoking fruits, to feel my greatest highs
Enjoying life, the casket won't be where my spirit dies
(0:51)
To recall it all, would be impossible
But to say it was a waste of time, would be illogical
I succeeded where someone had met their greatest obstacle
Say luck from the outside, skill was there like wood in popsicle
Had to freeze it from the ice burn
Like Zeke new to sparks turned to flames that birthed a chosen prodigal
A nobody on my walk out, some thought it was comical
Invisible to the world, my illusion like optical
(1:15)
Barely known, I wanna keep it that way
I barely blow smoke like I'm Sam, unless it's ash from the tre
No Bren, spot up for my chance
Patient till I get my pass
Showing up to the race is the first step to not being last
I ball hard while I play
Shooting wild and knock em down, a menace like I'm Jonbo
Judge off appearances
Left me open, carelessness
My jay ate it up and cleared the plate
No cobs, to silence convos
I switch my views but never place, humble but crafty, rondo
Verse 2:
(1:42)
Punching the clock to breakdown the M's so in seconds they can make cents
Common sense ain't common and to some that still don't make sense
Skillful in my craft, like Smith and Wesson help to de tense
Give them zero coal, so in their mind it can't fuel pretense
I was always in the shadows
Listened close for all the rattles
Put my sword close to my hip till I unsheathe and slash the apple
Head the wisdom from the chapel
Rather die when standing up
Then face the wrath who took down Babel
Can't convince me with the rumors your spirit don't see the shackles
I don't care if it's the easy ride still won't get on the saddle
Ride the wave with my own style to see horizons from my battles
Little insecurities, I'm well aware that I am fragile
Take pride in my imperfection, learned my lessons on my travels
Made decisions in the moment, gave me clues to beat the latter
I don't care how tall the wall is or how big and strong the castle
Graduation, I can swim now when all I could do was paddle
Legacy, only that really matter
Outro:
(2:37)
It feels good to have made it out man
Went through 4 years in a single moment, just like that
I’m on my own but, God is always with me
