CHAPTER '23.
Chapter '23
Young toko on the scene
Tryna chase a dream
Coming straight out welly deep
Aint hustling for a snack
Tryna get a whole feed
Still with the same team
Still say my Lotu before I sleep
(and I)
Just turned twenty
I'm making more than I've ever been
Hit up my brodie
And I told em pass the pad & pen
Kalo Block & NT, how we feeling man?
Been about this chicken
So I know I'm finna win again
Three years out of college
Two at uni tryna cop a degree
Now I'm hustling 9-5
Cause that shi wasn't for me
Come from a line of academics
So they wasn't too pleased
But i cant choose my own direction
I let God intercede
I told myself i got one year to make this reality
They say stay down to earth
But i can't feel gravity
Tall poppy prominent inside our community
But i keep a focus on my own
I gotta set boundaries
(just a) Go Ghettah
Never wasting no time
AK40 pencils, using led to write rhymes
And my bros, Dom & Halalilo got signed
My girl making her own money
Been about her grind
Small city, big dreams
Always moving w that mindset
Tapu toe ha ivi
No matter how hard the grind gets
Dreams of taking flights
So many times they think we pilots
This that baggage claim
My tokos hustle in silence
'23, gotta keep making those moves
(until all of your dreams come true)
Bank teller, counting racks
Hoping one day I'd count my own
In the night i was laying tracks
But now my boss up on the phone
Saying brother is it algood
If we put you on hold
Cause we got some other people
Who more ready for the job
I replied i been working harder
Than anyone before
I need a couple dollars
For my people back at home
My aunts now retired
Don't want her working no more
I'm back to square one
Feel like I'm doing it alone
So I turn my face and I look up
Asking God why he be testing me
Guess its through the challenges
When he really brings the best in me
Fahu told me never ever let them think less of me
And flowers for my Nana Tuki
May she always rest in peace
Think outside the box
Always read between the guidelines
This is my time
Running to the tryline
Theres a fine line, you could never cross mine
More stories in me than an influencers highlights
'23, gotta keep making those moves
(I'm gon' keep on trying for you)
