[Verse 1:]

This is for the kid that wanted to speak, but he really didn't have a voice

This is for the kid who had shit change, and he really didn’t have a choice

This for the kid for the first half, he was pushed around and called weak

But once he got up on the beat, he felt like he was at his peak

Like he's climbing up to the top, and he feels like he can't be stopped

Cuz he knew that he wanted to make it whether they all liked it or not

He ain’t really even have a care in the world

Young freckled kid, and his hair with the curls

Trouble maker, and shit starter

Someone hits him, he hits harder

Acting out and break the rules, mentality of "fuck school"

Like half the teachers were damn fools, he just wants to rap cuz it's so cool

Dad said "get your shit straight, you're only in the sixth grade"

8 years later, shit changed, and a young nigga dropping mixtapes

[Hook:]

This is for the kid

Who never knew what to do

This is for the kid

And all the shit that he's been through

This is for the kid

Who's lived his whole life so confused

This for the kid

Who's been feeling down and blue

[Verse 2:]

Now he grows up, and he blows up

Every single joint, he shows up

Cuz he knows what's up

Everybody knows his name when he rolls up, like so what

He don't fold up, nah

They know he just won’t quit

They take a second look

And they see who it is

It’s the kid that believes, he's chasing his dreams

Cuz he wants to succeed, he knows he can achieve

And it feels so close, and only he knows

How far he can go, just to make it to his goal

Now this kid’s on the rise, and trying to swallow his pride

He's staying the course, like ball in the court, he's taking the game by surprise

He looks at death in the eyes, he ain't like none of them guys

They say that they’re different, but look at the image, they're all covered up in lie

In a lie, he's the truth, once he gets up in booth

Can't get no clearer, no smoke and mirrors, he's the voice of the youth

He is a voice to be heard, the way that he's using these words

Proper instruction and sentence construction, and putting it all in a verse

He came a long way since Parkway

When he saw his parents both part ways

Through the bullshit and heartbreak

Through the long nights and hard days

He's true to himself and real with others, that's why they call him Triill

Because he knows if nobody can speak out, then he's the one that will

[Hook:]

This is for the kid

Who never knew what to do

This is for the kid

And all the shit that he's been through

This is for the kid

Who's lived his whole life so confused

This for the kid

Who's been feeling down and blue
