These some wholesome tales, I just chose to write 'em down
These some wholesome tales, I just chose to write 'em down

Once upon a time there was a young kid
That wasn't very tall, he stood about 5'6"
Got played by a young girl, he truly thought she liked him
Late into high school, his confidence had spiked down
In the back of his mind, he yearned to find his keeper
He learned to find the problem, he had to search deeper
Found that loving himself was what he needed
Before he could have someone treat him the way he wanted to be treated
There's no cheating this one, no escaping it either
Take a breather, young one (Young one!)
Life will help you, follow the leader
Came to realizations 'bout the time I was a senior
Now I can cope and focus while providing y'all with features
I made too many moves just to be feeling so lonely
It's just that these new niggas told me better than they show me
Same with these bitches, sorry women, don't know what came over me
Used to get attached so easily don't miss the older me
Sober thoughts fuck me up let the drugs take control of me
Pop away with relief I get from spittin 16's
In a self destructive cycle, a vicious twirl
Thought I wasn't worth much if I just couldn't get no girls
Was in my head so much I ain't even get my drip up
Looking back, I can't believe that I was that nigga
Lot of things I could've accomplished if I had discipline
Want me a singing bitch that ain't just hot, she's SZA-ling
Shorty mystic, I might have to risk it
Want her to hop on this dick, but messages be cryptic
So I won't expect shit, can't always get a hit in
Too busy living this life to wait on some bitch
Damn there I go again, you're free to condemn me
You want someone with talent? Look no further, they sent me
They wanna end me, they know I'm what the women need
Catch me in the Chi, you know that's where the 10s be

(Slight, yeah)

These some wholesome tales I just chose to write em down
You thought that shit was hot, listen for the 2nd round, uh

Give me space, give me space, give me space
Little did they know, I'm this rap generation's Ace
Anytime you got an issue with me you'll end up in a blaze
I heard they pocket watching, while they watch I'll wash my face
I got skills now wait until I'm on my rich shit
Imma start talking big like how Drake, Jay and Rick spit
I was finding truth while my people was out there looting
I'm shootin' til my shit jams like my finger hooping
You will not only remember this day but you will rue it
I'm just spitting normal, they acting like I'm going stupid
My lyrics resonate with anybody, genderfluid
Been mentally wounded, it's why I'm living life more lucid
Nowadays, I'm giving back to fam regardless how I'm paid
Half of y'all about as fake as the joker of spades
I'm the jack of all trades, I'm grade A
My only motivation waking up was seeing brighter days
Have I seen the brighter days? Yeah, these the brighter days
With the ultraviolet rays, I was searching higher praise
For the way I stack my phrases, Momma said I'm going places
The only place I'm tryna see is a crowd full of faces
Of many races, man, they screaming in my cadence
Lights from cameras flashing not like D-Wade did
The girl shows impatience, I treat her like acquaintance
Forget your expectations, cause I'm subject to changing

(Yeah, yeah)
That shit was from the heart, yeah
All the times I hated me, I thought something was wrong
Those times behind me now I'm comin' out strong
I'm not a kid no more, where has all the time gone?
It's my time to shine soon, I'm not waiting long
All the times I hated me, I thought something was wrong
Those times behind me now I'm comin' out strong
I'm not a kid no more, where has all the time gone?
It's my time to shine soon, I'm not waiting long

Bitches slept on me
Left a nigga lonely, now I ain't stressed, homie
I know they slept on me
Now they waking up
'Cause I got paper up
I been counting so long, got a papercut
Double S
Yessuhhh!
