Gr8ness Intro

(album: No Bullshit - 2017)

Tell me about the new project
The new project is just me like, doing what I do. Like I said, expressing myself. A body of work that perfectly explains where I am today, as an artist and as a person. You know, I think I'm not really the big social media guy or the too outspoken publicly. You know what I mean, I'm more like behind the scenes, family based my people know, you know, know the true me on a personal level for example. But I feel like the music and conversations like this, situations like this are a way I can really let people in to my psyche and who I am as a person so I'm really excited to just share you know, Avelino today. Just tryna make the best music that I could possibly make right now. So you can feel the progress, hear the progress, travel along with me

Came a long way

Yo
I swear this is the perfect tempo, the perfect speed, the perfect let go
My release, I'm the sound of the new retro
That's classic. I got sick of class now I'm back bitch
At last, now where's the atlas?
Yeah. Cause it's the take over
Legend has it change's coming, it's the change over
Cause the mandem from the ends are bringing Drake over
Can't believe what I'm seeing it's like a make over
Wow. Your local rapper's global now
Touring's like karma, what goes around comes around
Poor kids with sparklers, that's what I've grown around
It's VIP with my olders cause I'm older now
There's vodka running through my veins, Verset
I don't chase, I let her retrace her steps. Got
Girls there to keep me in check, I get the checks
And you can check I ain't got a main verse yet nah
Cause ain't nobodies story my story
I've looked up to losers, now I glorify glory
My niggas got a Jesus piece and a piece of Jesus
He would die for me but I told him stay alive for me
Mum I had to hustle, Mum I had to grind for me
Overtime's over, no more day and night for me
Imma change the game the game needs change
We came from the ground up and now they're booking flights for me
I'm a rapstar now, dope lines I'm a trapstar now
So much money all this cash I can't count it
Keeping it 100 got me thousands
Starting from the bottom, being homeless got me houses
Yeah, Take time
If it means something to you then you've got to make time
I'm playing snakes and ladders where the snakes climb
But success is fine wine I heard it through the grapevine
Then Wretch phoned me and told me about it
Every time I got AP I told Roley about it
I don't watch that anymore, I'm more holy about it
I attract crowds and I first I felt lonely about it
Don't let the devil in that's what Momma said
Knock, knock who's there cah my momma's scared
Life often ends too soon when you're from the ends
But when they tell you that it's over man it's not the end
Yeah
Man I learnt so much, cross bridges man, I ain't ever burnt so much
When the tables turned, never got turnt so much
Show money gang, I ain't never been worth so much yeah
