about

One of my biggest challenges is celebrating myself. I accomplish things and don’t feel much. I tend to be extremely grateful and appreciative, but hardly ever proud of myself. At the end of 2020, I decided to celebrate more. This could’ve been an outro to the year, and outro to an album, or just a farewell to living in my lower state. Nonetheless, we celebrate today.

lyrics

Came so far from them days of begging for boxes of food, it been a lot that I proved, I bet on me to take this road that ain’t the popular move, boy I was poppin back when holes was in my socks and my shoes, I ain’t debating with no haters dawg I’m not in the mood

We grew up sharing everything that we was rocking in school, so if I had some bangin jeans then they was rocking them too, pulling outfits out the trash bag, the obvious truth, we got a boost from honest roots and now it’s optimal views

Remember Mommy coming home heating the pot with the stew, I knew I got inside my groove soon as I hopped in the booth, I been through Hell and back for real how could I possibly lose, how could I not be Annunaki, you’d be wild to assume

My partners, lot of em doomed, but I’m still indebted, cause all they wanted was a chance and they would kill to get it, realest message when they told me if I keep it real I’m legend, everything that tried to threaten my build it was still a lesson


They ain’t know I came out premature, so I was born in ATL, they said I wouldn’t make it past my birth but I ain’t take it well, they said I’d be impaired, but as a baby yo I rang the bell, cause baby boy amazing this the story that they made me tell

Cool in my maneuvers cause I knew my momma raised me well, that’s why I’m making songs and staying strong until they pay me well, starving on a telly floor yea I been through a crazy Hell, a lot of people only helped us up so they could say we fell

I learn from every loss so I ain’t never scared to take these L’s, got a couple homies in the system can’t escape these cells, Ima break these shells just to place them where my safety dwells, I lost my nigga Phil to overdose so I just pray he well

I’m praying for his fam, and I’m praying for my mans, cause they tryna throw him 20 off that banger in his hands, I can make a way, I’m great today, I made it out the land, After facing tribulations I can say that I’m a man

Made some bands off the stance I’m never scared to take a chance, too many teachers holding students back and scared when they advance, take a glance, yea I understand I’m damaged but I can, be the standard see the plan is, we advancing what we handed

We could manage, battered bruised it was days that we was bandaged, we was famished, off the strength of the branding we expanding, laying back in my hammock, eating salmon, I ain’t built for no relationships, you crazy chicks be fake and be demanding

2021 I’m running numbers biweekly, cause I can still be on my job when I’m groggy and wild sleepy, she don’t ever get no time if she awkward and not freaky, every day I beat the odds ain’t no option if God keep me

I ain’t perfect, I been mixing my records ima find a way to work it, to be honest dawg I feel like I deserve it, I’m a learned man, I burned my hand from peeling back the surface of this hurting, and the purpose I ain’t on nobody’s timeline

It’s divine time, grind-time till I find mine, shine mine till my mom is honored like LeBron’s mom, I ain’t hit my prime but I’m primetime, I rhyme rhyme, these niggas ask me what’s the deal, I’m climbing till I sign mine

Great or be erased, I always knew it was a fine line, married to the game my days could be a rom-com, just to make it put my pacing on a kanban, this the Curt Corner where they treat me like I’m Einstein

And I need my bro’s, I don’t need these hoes, and I know I’ll be the goat long as I keep my soul, through the peeping hole frequent I been seeing goals, 2020 finished nigga watch the way the sequel go, y’all don’t even know
