ChillHood Summers

This the wisdom from the inner kid that chose to live to spite cynicism
Better act now or miss your window
A novel upbringing with a little bit of hustle
A sentimental dream with a little bit of fuck you
Suburban taught to non-violence, like Gandhi did
Bully saw loner him as a prime target then
Ain't no problem for in retrospect it's just a shrugg off the dead skin
It takes a pretty prehistoric tone to hate on a Jetson
I always look forward cause that chip on the shoulder
Will be the chops that topple competition
Timbering trees to lying logs as I sit, settle back, and let the chips fall in
Looking at things long term no one can even fuck with him
But let me get back to it. It wasn't overnight on this rap tip
Tapping casio keys, parents karaoke mic one-two and test
Piano lessons? Nah, new immigrant don't often get the privilege
So the dormant beast stay temporarily at rest
Then the years go by

And then the years go by
It's them ChillHood Summers, chill chill
And then the years go by. It's them ChillHood Summers, chill chill
Never at ease. Never know what life can bring
Contrast from that inner teen that knew everything
Whether you like it or not you're gonna let me in. Let me nurture this
You're gonna let me in. Let me nurture this
Got another thing coming if you think I'm 'bouta fold
I'm on the road, go
My mission statement stays in all caps with the bold
So let's go. ChillHood Summers, chill chill

Summers in the mall, arcade go hard DDR. Sweat soaked in my t-shirt
Now I added blood and tears, as I decode how the Gameworks
03, play Counter-Strike talking all that shit
Tupac, Outkast, Emimem, and 50 Cent looping on the playlist
Music didn't find him until 05 he was an adolescent, and it manifested
Cause you knew that there was a poet all along
I don't wanna kick another flavor of the month cover song
Fast and easy views for the now, eventually disappear
Despite what was thought, karaoke is not a career, don't interfere
Form a team, evoke whole images even stoics see
From a dream, awoke domesticated yet ferocious beast

And we let the years shine on
ChillHood Summers, chill chill. ChillHood Summers, chill chill
You gonna let me in. Let me nurture this
Biggest threat when passion, pure creation goes into laser focus
ChillHood Summers, coolin through the heat
I'm doing me. I'm doing me
Striking gold with a resonating swing
It ain't even a thing
Refining techniques, rap emperor building
More pioneer than pilgrim, I see the gaps I fill in
Innovating to be the greatest, put me in the conversation
Otherwise sit back and see me line up my own constellations
