Metamorphosis

Sitting in a room at the age of 13
Forest Hills Drive in my earbuds
Picked up the pen after Cole inspired me
Tryna break out the monotony
So I switch up when I turn 14
And I do soul beats til I reach 15
Then I went deep, studied everything
From the Kendrick Lamar's to the MBVs
16, I was the MVP, of wasting time, never got shit done
Quarantined at home, praying on my knees
Everything changed when I turned 17
Falling in love in Magenta schemes
Made ten tracks on my laptop screen
And I put them out for the world to see
California Love found me at 18
Spent that year in a different town
Started selling off cribs and killing off doubts
I was licensed, time to get my pockets deep
Me and Abel start the company
Rali Records, I'm signed to me
Then I lost someone close to me
And it felt like time had stopped to freeze

Had to go through a metamorphosis
Spent the summer in Florida, high as shit
Almost died 'bout a couple times
But a phoenix always rises, bitch
Finally doing this music for me
Fuck the numbers, fuck the streams
Fuck that stereotypical brown kid life
I don't want no job in IT
Took a long time to get here but
I turned 19 and I'm finally free
