Avant Garde / Once Upon a Time

Okay okay okay, my little nigga
Um what's up
So you telling me this shit called Wintergreen right
Yeah like the color, or the plant, or the flavor, or
Okay whatever, but like, what does it mean
Like nigga what the fuck does Wintergreen mean

Prom 2020, wintergreen dress, got no stress
Tie around my neck, talk about ingress, I've been blessed
But niggas stay, still wanna talk about me
Better line up next cuz mine ain't complete, I'm setting the feats
I got goals, gonna make them triumphs
No fake ass shit, no pseudoscience
It's Ultimate Alliance, still level up ultimately Aaliyas
Still making beats out of household appliances and gadgets
In the closet or the attic, imma add it
I'm an addict for the sound
Add bass until I drown or the shit sounds surround when it goes down
Wintergreen just a metaphor for me
Plant show the growth and the green
Shit tangle for the king
That ain't me but I hope it is one day, ideas in my mind like a freeze frame
I just hope one day it pays off, so the peers don't laugh and scoff
Hopefully I can enjoy the walk that all my hard work done put me on

Imma have my way one day
Finally turn shit from my way
Imma make good days from hard, be avant garde
Imma have my way one day
Finally turn shit from my way
Imma make good days from hard, be avant garde
Imma have my way one day
Studio album like Dre, Kanye
Damn near show them what I can do
Instead of sitting in the back of my room making tunes
With half-baked beats can't believe ya
Playing keys through shit on Toshiba

Nigga you really think you gonna be on some Kanye-type lookin ass shit
On some influential shit
No, but there's a possibility
But what the fuck is the point
I mean, might as well try
Respectable, you didn't really explain it though

Shit I mean
First nobody knew it
The big nerdy kid made music
I just snuck the aux cord in my phone and got right to it
Once upon a time Intro-Inverted, purple green
Some thought it was cool, others snooze, went to sleep
Made nobody scream, only like fifty streams
I be my own team, my own chords, my own strings, I still rap, I still sing
Once upon a time it's chapter two, it's Wintergreen
Tryna change my sound, no one wants to be the same old thing
Play the game, starters up
How I roll, discord luck
Stuck myself in a group, now I just give a fuck
Shit, ain't no mid-90's kid
I ain't got no experiences you probably don't live
But I got emotion
As much as that shit sucks, it puts me into motion
As much as I give a fuck, it's musical commotion
