I’m used to talking bout love
And I thought I’d go more political
But these greedy new criminals
Tryna rob me of parables,
Narratives, tales and fables
So since I’m ready and able
Imma just talk about myself
Til I can find somebody else
To tell me their story
Yeah I replay those Acid Rap recordings
Because the Internet is great but it ain’t pimp me like butterflies
I’m waiting for the day MF DOOM n André are revitalized
J Cole been spittin like Coltrane to try n set us right
But the wave of lil rappers came crashing in on the tides
And as lord as my witness
i’m down with the litness
But I been missing rappers defining their lives with their rhymes
(Chorus)
they won’t tell me a story
So I’ll tell you my story
Cuz I’m starting to get bored with these
(Verse)
Im a millennial man
Just tryna live in the now
With a fine Island chick
Who’s been cooked in da south
I Put out
my first EP
And that ish was lit unmastered (yoooo)
Now I’m tellin these tales til word about me spreads faster
See my crew and I are influencers in the making
Risk Taking
Unwavering
Cuz music been saving
us from ourselves and the evil running rampant lately
We Link up with no chains in our gang cuz that’s modern slavery (damn)
I know That bar was real cliche but it’s still worth saying (damn)
that’s a part of my story now how much more are you taking (I need to know)
Well Maybe I’ll give more up if they actually paid me
Nah I’m kidding I love the craft
Bruh this switchup is crazy (here)
(Told ya it was nice
Aight
Now let’s get into what I’ve been about as of late
waltz)
I been tweaking scheming
focused thinking all about my dreams
Working toward em while the fams telling me to sleep
Pay em no attention I’m too worried cuz I gotta eat
What’s the point of living if I’m not even living
To sit
With kings
Spit rhymes
And fly
I Been a prince in my mind
since I heard When Doves Cry
So I’m tryna grind
Stand the test of time
When I die
I don’t want a shrine
On some corner side
I’m
tryna go divine (yeah)
I just wanna get it for my mama
Get it for my papa
Get it for my sisters
My whole family picture
Spit out so much fire
Dey can’t feel the winter
Even in December
Yeah I’m still a sinner
But was born a winner
Bruce before the Jenner
All I can remember
Is the harsh days
In a marsh daze
When I learned to praise
Made it through the gates
Now I’m in the game
(Almost didn’t make it
But here I am)

(I reminisce I reminisce)
(remember this, remember this)
Growing up I was a channel chaser
Cuz they’d chase away my pain (chase away my pain)
Put a smile on my face
Take a journey from my place
Made me feel like I would see better days
Growing up I was a-
Channel chaser
Surfing channels chasing
Childhood cartoons
Saturday’s were sacred
Watching villains duel it out with slifer slacker Jaden
And shocking goons with Virgil
Kept my thoughts up out the basement
I swear the television taught me more than schooling ever did
Blue clues help me locate all my problems as a lil kid
And a lil red monster taught me how to be a friend
I swear Tom hunting Jerry was my remedy for illnesses
Back before the music kept me lit (kept me lit)
I’d watch Naruto and cop shuriken (headband on my head)
Way back then
they’d clown ya for liking anime
Throw ya in
a locker Like a nerd in the 50s
Its so Crazy how it seems like yesterday
I was just a Toys R Us kid Playing video games
now I’m entering life’s older phase
But I Still turn dem toons on to escape
Peeps guzzling haterade
Cuz Courage being cowardly gives me energy (and)
spongebob got me cracking up outside of all the memes (bruh)
My Parents said my brain was rotting slowly
From all dem shows
But that black screen helped me through reality
growing up I was a
Channel chaser
Channel chaser
Channel chaser
Cuz they’d chase away my pain (pain pain)

Years spent by Lakeside
On The Wayside of real life
The good times
Came from strong ties
Them friendships
I’ll never forget
Went out middays for advertisements
For writings I been forgot
Guess it was practice for all of my drops
Bet they can’t believe my lyrics this hot
I flew under the radar within the spot-light
Couldn’t truly be myself due to the strife tho
But my destiny
kept calling me
Had a lot to grieve
did it musically
Dr. F prescribed
positivity
Helped me to invest in my heart’s melodies
Now I sing holding memories
Of those aound me
Who Got lost at sea
Took the good and the bad and for what it’s worth I unearthed jewels
The sunshine was muddied but I’m lucky I made it through
It’s so wild that every issue seemed like the whole world
Then i graduated, found out it’s just as bad in the world
[x2]
(Trumpet break)
the Lovely Hell Setting in which I grew up
Had passion, Harassment and thrashings and love
A cornucopia so unique because
I went away and found there’s only one
[x2]
