Evolution, Pt. 2
Uhhh
I was in elementary when I had told myself, "Look man
You're wanna archive your goals? You're Ademola Lookman
Wipe off the water transuding from on top of your nose
Daddy left, so there's no man in the house, so fuck, toughen up then, be the man!
And they gon' try to break you, don't fold
And you gon meet some kids that wanna befriend you only if they change you
You gotta say no!"
I know my background, and that's what made me
I was a kid watching my auntie lose her baby
I made a scene every time crying before granny bathed me
Scuffled in dust, white clothes, I turn 'em gravy
And auntie Barbra didn't like washing my jeans
Understandable, they had a lotta stains round the knees
Kneeling, kutoita kodo with the gs
And then when I had reached my late teens
Seeing her married, man it seems
That I myself have become a man
Giving thanks to all those that played a part to groom me
I am thankful, truly
So this my plan, momma can you hear me?
Can't pay you back, but gratitude is owed for when you told me
B, they gon' try to break you son, don't fold!
And you gon meet some kids that wanna befriend you only if they change you, son
You gotta say no, you gotta say no
My momma loves me, pop left me
Letty fed me, granny dressed me
Jonathan fought me, made me tougher
Love you that my nigga, no matter what bruh
DZ raised me, and whether right or wrong
Those streets gave me all I write in these songs
Blantina babysitted, changed my diapers
Stanley introduced to the game that changed my life up
So now you see me and I'm rapping to save lives and make a killing at the same time
My flow the reason I'm touching the ceiling, brother these rhymes
Is too fly, I am too fly, I can touch the sky but I'll always remain grounded
That's why you see when they try to me break me son, I don't fold man
And I've met a couple fellas that have tried to change me bro, for real for real
I had to say no man
'Cause I remember where I came from
You made me the man I am today
Yeah
I done evolved man
