[Hook]

I got a hip hop scholarship

Yeah, this a surer way than a lotto is

No marketing dollars but I dropped it (dropped it)

Got me on my hip hop shit {hip hop shit)

[Verse 1]

I keep it conscious

But keep it and it hop

Man it cost me my job (ah)

But it don't pay like them bars

Music in my veins I'm obsessed with art

I put in more than nine-to-five

I dedicate my life

Just to earn mines

Standing alone in that lunchline

Got me feeling like I'm Travis and it's crunch time

If it wasn't for pioneers running all those tapes

Then it wouldn't be a push of a button to create

Don't let the fire die, there's gas all over the place

Naw this game it ain't safe

Use to go to the bikeshop on Long Lake

Now we masked up on long waits

Haters want me to give it up

Finna lift the city up

Yeah I'm just to to clever

Feel like I'm Sean Diddy Combs

When I two step up

Powda next up

I almost gave out my govy

My duey red like Gutzzy's (Guttzy's)

Vans tee from a magazine (magazine)

At the skatepark I was in the streets (in the streets)

Not the ones that they talk about in the industry

Doctor said my brain was unbalanced chemically

But not with this rhythm

Conscious in my movement

Conscious when I'm talking to 'em

When I'd rather talk with them {with them)

I'm prophetic in my wisdom (wisdom)

Hating on me but you miss me (miss me)

I will never sign a 360

I'm in the music buis

Get use to it

Nothing touch a young brother's soul like the music did

I'm working on the weekend just like Drake and Future is

I'm barred up like a candy store

Word up to Snoop Dogg

Lord

Second concert I went to I performed

I'm in the venue fucking up my vocals chords

Covid is a global war

Trapped in my mind

And I'm trapped inside

Sudbury state of mind

This a nickle city mine

Wish the world could love

Not make things that blow up

Some shit we all chasing bruh

Relief from the payments bruh

Leaf is what I'm blazing bruh

Leaving on a highnote like a B flat smoked the sac

Powds on the track

Sprinkled it infact

And I hate wearing masks

I got writtens in stacks

And you that it's facts

Do you see me wearing a hat?

No Ontario on a track

No food in my stomach and I'm straight to the mic

So I get it off right

Long nights

And them warmer days

Merch pays, want real estate

Never said I was the realest mang

It's a construction zone

Outside my door

I don't even lace my timbs when I'm walking

Through three feet of snow

So you know that that boy cold

We all paid for reposts organic

Never heard of such

This is Powda? You never heard of bruh

Still underground like a mineshaft

Long as Sudbury is where I reside at

Pencil to the page is where I spend my time at

Check the timestamps

Use to have Slim's cd sitting on my dresser

Before I lived on the shady side of Second

Tiles filled with asbestos

Harmful shit what I'm breathing

Cooking up in different regions

Hoping that the lost ones hear me

You feel me?

Picture making it out of it

Wondering don't doubt it then

Double A Ron

We crowning him

Letter 16 in the alphabet

My shoulders is project steps

It got chips on it

Rap snacks

Couldn't eat cause roaches and rat traps

Impact, legacy, and recognition

Independent living

The future is the children

Real spitta

Had 85 on my jersey like Chad Johnson

I'm a white rapper like Action Bronson

Ochocinco but it's Powda boy

And I'm mic'd up

Kind of something like the NFL Bruh

[Outro]

First to meet the coaches uh

That boy can run

30 yards and I catch it up

Caught it

Two DB's no safety on him

Earl Thomas

Twistin' grass

Trippin' missing class

Momma in the field reason why we living still

Wounds heal

Feel like they would have never seen me again

That's why I got to vent

Money we gotta wire on rent

Family probably gotta help me again

Got us on lockdown we gotta escape it

Cannot replace him

I remember when this shit was vacant

Now I got bars filling up these spaces

Needa call my Grandpa Raymond

I don't want to be dropping names

But this weight on my shoulders is crazy

Talking third eye but I got four

That's what they was making fun of me for

Dummies is poor

In mindset

I'm next

Rich in the soul

When they told me I never had none
