Mindset

We been rocking like the cradles do, Lakers back in 82
Winning we on top and we be proving what we came to do
Providing you with steps on the road that I chose to go
Don't let anyone tell you how your life's supposed to go
Live it to the fullest let the joy flow through you
I'm 18 but I feel legendary like Mewtwo
That's the vibe I'm catching every time I step into the room
Imma rap like my stories gonna have an ending soon
The chapters are writing themselves the pages are always turning
Doing this for free but eventually I gotta make an earning
Balling so hard they asking me when'd I let Larry Bird in
Did this independently Memories on CDs I'm burning
Buckets of situations handle these like I'm Kyrie Irving
Beats in the back of hearses that's what happens when you keep rehearsing
Reversing my thoughts so I can get out of this mindset
Thinking too much and asking myself where the time went

Don't you ever try to get away
Don't you ever try to get away

I been putting these lyrics down in my head for awhile
I been walking around making sure people seeing the smile
Too much sadness in this world to be messing around
My life just started for me bro I got the cap and the gown
Got the African roots, maybe out in Timbuktu
People asking for money, man I need ten bucks too
There's people struggling, and they just don't know what to do
I'm just blessed for my freedom of speech when I'm up in the booth
I'm blessed for people around me I got my music surrounding
Because of you I got this fame and honestly it's astounding
And I'm just praying to see 21, bragging you don't know me son
You're a little late to change the game, that's already done
I used to say that I would do it, now I say I did it
Just admit it, with your snapback or your fitted, you don't fit it
You try hard to bite the image people are always barking
I'm doing me you doing you, switching up while money's talking

Don't you ever try to get away
Don't you ever try to get away

I'm making connections now knowing that nobodies stopping me
This was the prophecy, hit homers for the odyssey, as far as the eye can see
Man I need more privacy
You want more music then why the hell you always bother me
I don't overthink shit, I set my mind and I go
Recollect my recollections while she play with my fro
Running through the highs and lows with no time, no Patek
When you say my name use your chest out of respect
I make music, I influence my proteges
We try to make our payments on time so no tow today
Please don't bust my high we not about that
Make it past the 27 club like Mike Trout's back
Step one, release the A-sides and B-sides
But that's besides the point, revive and we rejoice
I have a voice that has been writing out the story that I meant to tell
After this I could be at heaven's gates or the depths of hell
