Down the Streets

And with these words, the Locally Raised, Locally Praised EP shall commence
Yeah

At an early age, already know how to navigate
They listen for the flows, already know what they gravitate
Rather than the words, this modern rapping is saturated
I never mind it, in terms of rhyming, I'm elevated
Ain't even capping, I'm all about it, I'm levitating
Above the fakers, the planted makers, the hella jaded
They see me winning, I bet they're wishing I never made it
They sit there hating at all the skills that I'm demonstrating
Look, I swear this industry is cutthroat
It got me wishing and praying to find some luck though
Cuz mixing dreams with some perspiration
Tells the whole damn world imma work to make it
I got it in my blood, ain't ever been on my muggle flow
Walk like a king, already feel like I'm one of those
Bet I say it proud, ain't ever been on my subtle flows
Imma let it ring, already know that my brothers know
On my Betterworld, I'm steady tryna energize
Identified the enterprise, I was in a vibe
And now I dominate the game, I'm just too alive
This the Hunger Games, and I'm steady wondering who survives
Yeah, and I'm just repping for my district
Think about the days that I would feel like a misfit
Back in grade school, I would never really listen
Sat inside my class and told myself that I was different
Damn, so look at me now
Went and flew up to the clouds and I came back down
Just to give y'all the bars, let you peep that sound
As I cruise down the streets of my lovely town

Yeah, of my lovely town, all the ones that would hate wanna shut me down
All the ones that would doubt wanna love me now
As I cruise down the streets of my lovely town

Yeah, of my lovely town, all the ones that would hate wanna shut me down
All the ones that would doubt wanna love me now
As I cruise down the streets of my, wait

I remember being told my time was waiting, I'm hella golden
But everyday brings a different challenge, I feel like Holden
In that book with the Catcher in the Rye
Feeling lost in this world, man I thought by twenty-five
I'd be up with the goats, selling more than the most
Sipping champagne daily, like life was a toast
But now at twenty-two, man this life moving slow
A least I got the poems and I like what I wrote
Since seventeen, I'm busy keeping up the dreams
That's all I want and I never needed the finer things
I'd rather run with the music and see what time will bring
And hit the top in whatever I do like I got wings
Damn, so look at me now
Tryna make a Betterworld, I'm tryna lead the crowd
I'm just tryna beat the best, I'm tryna reach the crown
As I cruise down the streets of my lovely town

Yeah, of my lovely town, all the ones that would hate wanna shut me down
All the ones that would doubt wanna love me now
As I cruise down the streets of my lovely town

Yeah, of my lovely town, all the ones that would hate wanna shut me down
All the ones that would doubt wanna love me now
As I cruise down the streets of my
