I'm back and hopefully maintaining top form I been doing this, it's far from my encore I do this for when I think that I should really talk more Mostly cause I personally prefer to walk more Some people talk loads, it's nothing wrong though We're the same in your eyes either way, just a bunch of lost souls The one I see in the mirror still grieving a lost home I'm dedicated to this, I'm literally rapping with a blocked nose Funny how the grind is a disease and the cure at the same time What's the guarantee that if I blow up, I'll be the same guy? Hoping the fruits of my trees can remain ripe Or that I can feel one more time the warmth of a gray sky Oh goodness, I'm pretentious, I might have to stop Contrary to popular belief, I laugh a lot I'm in a fairly decent mood without having to mask my thoughts So this goes out to those who really think that this beat has to drop With all due respect I hope Joe Rogan never finds the cold side of the pillow The Arceus of the game, most of yall be Dittos My audience is like my discography's flaws, very little But one day they won't spell Beast without Middle I don't brainstorm in the shower anymore no matter how much I need to Cause last time I did I turned my bathroom to a steam room Born and raised in an actual desert, fire is what I breathe, fool I'm cool with any potential hate, if I weren't me, I'd hate me too Say they're in first place, get a blue shell to the face Back in my worst days, all I could do was push through the pain It's not my birthday, but I'm alive so I celebrate Compared to my first day, all I ever did was elevate Put new music out just 3 weeks ago, inspiration doesn't allow me to wait Funny how many claim they keep it real but are actually fake Some of yall need to get your morality straight And for the last time, zodiac signs are not personality traits I wasn't exactly prepared for that If you don't know by now, the Middle East is where it's at Home of chick peas on everything and literally eating Cerelac I'd love to see them try to call me the Arab this or Arab that Arab who, Arab what, Arab no one Yall take yourselves too seriously, your songs are no fun Might just make your favorite rapper start a GoFundMe All it took was some talent, a year, and four months, please I'm miles ahead of yall Upper echelon, my repertoire is nothing like my reservoir Okay this rhyme scheme is hella hard Might switch it up like Denzel, they know that we bring hell Made a name for myself even if it doesn't always ring bells But give it some time and it might just make a label owner's skin pale I'm human, I gotta inhale I need some filler bars, so I'll just say I never ate kale It looks like stuff you'd find in a garbage bin near a bake sale Funny how I started this not even a couple years ago Sipping on ginger tea, and no it's not made of Ed Sheeran's bones They were always hearing the quality, but now they can hear the growth So talk all you want, you are not getting near the throne

Winning For once in my life, I'm grinning They really thought I was finished Thing is, I'm just beginning The form is never diminished I be occasionally reminiscing Looking back like, "I really did it" The warm up's over, let's get it I been winning way before the album Since I'm winning why not turn the whole sound up The family see me winning like, "That's our son" I see myself winning, I'm just thinking, "How come?" I can't lie, I could not predict this outcome I dream of the day I lift my hometown up And see my past self and watch it get outdone The team see me winning like, "Took you long enough" We ain't scared of competition, not a thing stopping us After all, what's a Honda Civic to a Tonka truck Did it all with honesty, I never made a problem up I do this for the spirit, I'm no lyrical genius But I still get my message across, and never too serious Talking about they're superior cause they got experience I may be new to this, but I still give em an experience They be they own Billie Jean Thinking they're the one with the littest heat No 15 minutes, I'm on repeat On the beat, I'll see you in the finish line They can't get rid of me even in their prime Made a whole tape just killing some time I gotta say winning is nice It's cool, it's fun Until it's done That's why It's not About Just doing it once Gotta have a good run Imma keep outdoing myself But for now, I already won I been winning way before the album Since I'm winning why not turn the whole sound up The family see me winning like, "That's our son" I see myself winning, I'm just thinking, "How come?" I can't lie, I could not predict this outcome I dream of the day I lift my hometown up And see my past self and watch it get outdone

Who's that in the grey sofa? In that spaceship doing donuts Peter Pan, never ever grown up Somehow I keep getting older Better not hit a supernova Woke up like, "Break time's over" Gotta get some weight off my- Hold up I'm doing so many things, they could try but they can never box me When I enter the scene, I cannot leave I don't put out any sloppy work, that is simply just not me So many hits, I feel like Rocky I'd love to see them try to stop me John Legend, the way I give it all of me They cannot even question my artistry It's in my veins and my arteries In other words, it's a massive part of me It could be better, but it's progress None of the hate ever bothered me I don't even get it a lot yet Talkin bout luck, this ain't a lottery Who's that in the grey sofa? In that spaceship doing donuts Peter Pan, never ever grown up Somehow I keep getting older Better not hit a supernova Woke up like, "Break time's over" Gotta get some weight- Gotta get some weight

burnout 01:47

I thought it was temporary I'm starting to doubt it was necessary Used to put the work in like nothing very Difficult, now it gets overbearing I can't describe it It feels weird, it's a first time that I never wanted, my brain is fried and My whole body's slowly dying What do I gain out of it? Other than the college life And a job that I'll probably like And a life I wouldn't be so honored by I don't get why I wanna keep going I guess graduating is quite the moment But why bring my health to the lowest Might eventually get that work flowing again I keep saying that. Until when? Why should I always adjust and pretend Staying up until around 10 Minutes past 12 AM I need a break from life as a whole Or maybe I'm just feeling low My head feels like it's releasing smoke It probably gets better, what do I know? Sick and tired of being burnt out Over things I really don't need to learn bout I don't know how I used to work out Every day. Everything just hurts now Right now I'm just tryna vent out I'm not really at my best now I still try my best to help out Hope I make my family and friends proud

Never, never, never, never, I said Never too young, yeah I'm on time Never too young for the spotlight Never too young for the long nights Never too young to be on the grind Never too young, never not right You may be too young to let a car drive You may be too young to be smoking But you're never too young to smoke a top 5 They're really acting like I haven't done it yet Though to be fair, I'm not exactly running up a check But you already know I put in 101% They can always try but they can't stop whatever's coming next See in this world there's prodigies with big heads And prodigies with big bread And those who really think we should be overhyping kids less I don't express myself much, I make masterpieces instead They wanna know the greatest, I just give myself the index I'm fired up Does it look like I care about a higher up? They can try but they can never hide us Yall been around for too long, your time's up All I do is mess around still I end up with a classic, it's not quite luck Hit the gym, hit the swim, I'm taking care of myself, I'm tired of being tired, bruh Feel like I'm a legend already My catalog decent, my growth is steady I don't know vacations, I don't know confetti I only know bangers, nothing you can tell me I butcher my beats, I make vegans uncomfortable Just the other day, I felt insufferable Woke up the very next day and went cutthroat Now, do you think that I care that I'm unknown? Never too young, yeah I'm on time Never too young for the spotlight Never too young for the long nights Never too young to be on the grind Never too young, never not right You may be too young to let a car drive You may be too young to be smoking But you're never too young to smoke a top 5 Never too young for the struggle No longer stuck in a social bubble Trying to get rid of my troubles Let it out and keep it subtle Haven't even reached my summit So I can't possibly plummet See the game? We run it Whether they hate it or love it My numbers funny But to be honest, that's lovely Attention would make it get ugly It's not about the fame or money Still I'm getting money Usually I'm humble, but when I'm not, you know I'm flexing like I'm Luffy They flexing their cheddar, think I'm salty like feta Okay you're good but I'm simply better You think it matters you're a trendsetter? There's more to it than putting in the effort Lemme take you back to like 2 years ago Sitting in that blue chair, 14, didn't know That the moment I decided music was the way to go Only 2 years later, online concerts and standing with GOATs, so I'm Never too young, yeah I'm on time Never too young for the spotlight Never too young for the long nights Never too young to be on the grind Never too young, never not right You may be too young to let a car drive You may be too young to be smoking But you're never too young to smoke a top 5

Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Now they listen when I speak I turned nothing into something Losses to a winning streak Guess the good thing about being obscure is you don't have to worry bout leaks Why barge in to the game and get out quick when you can slowly sneak I gotta get a lil disciplined, I gotta start improving my physique No matter where I end up going, I'll still be your average geek I got so much left to complete Left to achieve, left to delete They already know I don't like to compete But what I don't like even more is defeat Sippin that tropical, winning is sweet They really be birds, all they do is tweet Just running their mouths-sorry, their beaks Me and the team, we all the elite Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said this my peak Who said I'd peak at highschool Ooh, that's a haiku When I'm in the right mood I make some really nice tunes For now it's just a hobby Can it be more? Probably I still got a lot to offer Yeah the thought of falling off really haunts me I ain't really with the fast life I ain't the type to gaslight What more should I prove To those who wanna see me lose Funny how I raised the bar for bars And there's still no pressure in the room Springtime only mean one thing The flowers of my labor bloom It did not take a day or 2 Not even last year's June And still there's a lot to do Before I finally come through They can't say my 15 minutes are due Might just last to 2052 I'd be taking it way too easy If I just had to aim for the Moon Taking it way too easy If I aim as close as the Moon

I ain't seen my relatives in what feels like a whole decade I been getting homesick, way too many headaches Sisters in the other room, bumping Lana Del Rey This house is all the family I can see for now, so I make sure our ties great Next time I come back home, I might drive through a highway I tell myself, it's hard but at least I'm still alive, eh? Yeah, I pray it stays that way till we can migrate Back to the homeland, where we know how to spend a Friday Me and a cousin got the same name I was like 8, we were playing with them Beyblades Floor was our stadium, it was such a great day Still remembered that when I bought em back in 8th grade My aunt's house, where my Grandma stayed Heard the news, COVID happened, and I never saw the grave I would give the world just so she and I can conversate Again, imma point to the sky if I end up on stage Can't believe the love that I was shown Since the first song they've ever known They made me feel like their own Like I was never alone I'll be back and they'll see how much I've grown We all in this throne, yeah we got this Man of my word, you know I'm honest So imma make a promise And if I end up breaking it, I hope that you can call it out This is what I'm talkin bout Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Shoutout to the homies, yall are family too We stuck together through it all cause that's what family do Like, "If it happened to me, can't let it happen to you" You got a problem with one, it's a disaster for you We chillin in Cold Stone, good ice cream is essential A bunch of lil kids tryna fulfill our potential Who knows, one day we could grow up and be influential It's hitting me that all my decisions are consequential But that's fine, I'm breathing so we alright I could've died just a year old. Life Was not even something I grasped Could've ended fast, blasted to zero, but I Survived and I'm very grateful I did Should I even bring up 2006? And how we all ran away from home I don't even know if I should be saying these things I get my patience from my mama, get my grind from my father Words never do them justice, so I just hope they are honored Hope I was worth all the problems Imma pay em back with all I have They do their best just so we can have A regular life, whatever that means Even though I'm not always happy I can admit I am very content I was always taught not to resent That's why I don't have that many enemies We either cool or really good friends I can't be bothered with those who be hatin Not really rushing, yeah I'm being patient Hard work pays off, with me it's paying Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote Imma keep my circle tight, my family close Love is the antidote

I'm good I don't need a lotta M's I don't need a lotta friends Those can be dishonest, yes I am good I just need my common sense Confidence so doubt is dead What was I on about again? Oh right, I'm good I don't need connections I don't like attention If it's no pure intentions, not to mention I'm good I just need some good times Nice weather, good vibes Maybe a view that looks nice Question Who you tryna mess with I ain't graduated I still give em all a lesson Counting all my blessings, finally ambidextrous Wise young blood, got an owl on my necklace See the top like, I'm used to this I talk the talk and make sure that I'm proving it Introducing the lemonade enthusiast Your bars older than looney tunes and George Clooney is Aged like Whoopty did, worse than Fruity Kick Double figure monthly listeners, still they know who it is Life is calmer when not everybody know you exist First day of the holidays, and I'm doing this I can't lie and say it's no fun, cause why do it then Passion made the boy juggle a thousand different things Tried to maintain the balance between em, it took some grit Now my mental is up, at least by a little bit So I was never a clown juggling things, cause now I'm good I don't need a lotta M's I don't need a lotta friends Those can be dishonest, yes I am good I just need my common sense Confidence so doubt is dead What was I on about again? Oh right, I'm good I don't need connections I don't like attention If it's no pure intentions, not to mention I'm good I just need some good times Nice weather, good vibes Maybe a view- Sometimes I just wanna talk to em like, "Get on my level" But the thing is, and I don't usually quote old heads but Cole said, "Pride is the devil" So I keep it humble all the time, now I know I did the opposite throughout this whole record Did my fair share of being arrogant, trust me I'm much more self-loathing when I'm not totally flexing Still tryna draw the line between being confident and a narcissist Regardless, it's better than hating myself so often Thinking I'll never be anything till I hit the coffin Then at least I can be of use to the worms that eat my conscience As you can tell, it's quite the rabbit hole to get lost in I guess this is it for the part of the tape where I'm speaking Except it's not, the music speaks to em, my voice ain't weakened I guess the best part is I don't even know where my peak is I guess too much, it's getting way too frequent I'm good I don't need a lotta M's I don't need a lotta friends Those can be dishonest, yes I am good I just need my common sense Confidence so doubt is dead What was I on about again? Oh right, I'm good I don't need connections I don't like attention If it's no pure intentions, not to mention I'm good I just need some good times Nice weather, good vibes Maybe a view that looks nice
