Verse 1:
Thinkin' back to my younger days
When it wasn’t bout no Escalade
When it wasn’t bout gettin payed
When it wasn’t bout getting praise
Making songs n getting played
Worrying bout the funds that I gotta make
When it was bout the mess I made in 2nd grade
I know better men that seen worse days
And worse men that seen better days
Why I medicate
Why I dedicate my whole life to this
Now I levitate like Kendrick
It was cereal with my ma and sis
Toss the football wit pops n them
Playin sports to stay outdoors
And breathe the air feel the trees
Hide and seek better not peak
Now I’m climbing a tree that can barely be climbed
Patient see it takes sweet time
If I fall go get back up
Got no back up
It’s just me
In this rap stuff
It was make believe so no bad luck
Now this planets like a bandit
Can’t plan it
Hook:
Slow down
Sit back and breathe
Think 'bout the breeze
Got no real cares
But this music here
And my family
And my memories
Its all I could need
Verse 2:
Don’t got no baby mamma
Can’t be no babys father yet
Still young gotta make the most of it
Rip songs till I see an opening
Then open in...many cities
Got bigger plans than that
Bigger plans need way more fans for that
Gotta make it last
Wish I could
Said know I can
Wish I went back to old days
Old ways
With no stress
All smiles in the sun I rest
Before I rapped before sex
Before checks
Before school
When I knew less
And was so cool
Ignorance is bliss
That’s real shit
I’m happiest
When I got nothin on my mind
When I’m ballin or writin rhymes
The only times I’m right
Feelin right that is
Feelin like I’m big
Feel right for this
Peelin back my skin
Rippin off the mask
Know now I’m better Ye
But is it really about that
Is it really about that
I don’t know
Won’t know I’m still trying
Will they know I had drive then
Will they know I’m not lyin
Won’t know
Won’t know till I’m dying
Hook:
Slow down
Sit back and breathe
Think 'bout the breeze
Got no real cares
But this music here
And my family
And my memories
Its all I could need
Verse 3 ( Vinnie Dewayne )
I been bouncin' state to state like every week
And I cannot train my brain to fall asleep
And I look to god I wish that he don't speak
'cuz the man is yelling hatred in his speech
To the muslim girls that sitting on the MAX
You see that happen how you supposed to act
The girls got up they walked up off the train
Some people stay 'cuz Portland feel ashamed
Full of rage this man reached for his blade
He's shedding light on what we know they think
He's shedding light on what we know they say
Behind the doors I hung across the street
Some people got up and they said it ain't right
Then he pulled his blade out and started stabbing on sight
One man died then another man died got one in the hospital fighting for his life
I pray for muslim girls inside the school they missin' class locked inside their rooms
Their parents feel their option is to move
You can change locations cannot change the news
We gather 'round the candle lightings for
The victims that we lost inside this war
The people came and vandalized the scene they wrote "All Lives Matter" on the ground with chalk
Where we left our flowers sent our prayers to god
They're still gonna find the hatred in their heart
Won't show their face but comment on these blogs
My village chillen trauma from these laws
Set us up like condoms in these drawers
Won't set us free we usin' sin as whore
They killin' us in all kinds of ways
Like chemicals in our cornerstores
