Arrived

(albüm: Kintsugi - 2020)

You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time, they still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top, tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm living mine

Came up off a dream and a laptop
Open doors for the team like a bellhop
Used to cruise South Park when my shift end
Spark spliffs while I shift through the west end
Now I show up and they all got questions
Back home and you know how the stress gets
Tell the kids from the town with a passion
I'm the proof you can move to the masses
Yeah, they gonna tell you who to be (Lies!)
Don't nobody wanna see you free (Why?)
Everybody saying who to be
Now they're telling everybody, so everybody repeats
Living in a bubble where trouble is self-made
Everyone a lil' sorry for playing it too safe
So they wanna keep you living with them in the same cage
Gotta show 'em that we're tired of living the same way
Small town raised but I got it moving 'cause I knew I had to break that mold (Oh yeah)
Mindstate from a high place
Had to shift plates to be Grand as the peaks back home (Oh yeah)
Shift gears when I hit tears
On my tenth year paying rent in the game, now I live here
All it took was the pain and the passion
What a way to come back from the ashes

You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time, they still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top, tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm living mine

Yeah
Yo, I arrived (Yeah)
No, not to my surprise (No)
Knew I would blow since I was five (Yeah)
Now that boy shine like a firefly
Can't dim the light when I hold the flame (Yeah)
Coach rappers, now I know the game (Yeah)
Straightjacket 'cause the flow insane (Yeah)
Real life how I wrote the page
My story got started with catching bodies
Bend the industry, I spit Pilates
Paper stacking underneath the mattress now
Can't fold it, no origami
Know who around me, only day ones
Fake, what I stay away from
Safe around me, better stay from 'round me
If you hating on me, you get tapped up (Look)
Get paid just to walk in the club
Pop me a bottle, don't talk to a scrub
If you show love, then it's reciprocated
My people done made it, we came from the mud
Remember the days I was making a dub
Now it's Kinko's the way that my paper is up
Been dropping bars since the man was a boy
I was writing my rhymes while they played in the tub

You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time, they still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top, tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm living mine
