[Verse 1]

Got goosebumps on this shit

Ready to hoop up on the bench

Coach, put me in

Won't put me in

So smoked doobies on the bench

Smoked woolies back in tenth grade

Had me feeling bent, ayy

Then there was eleventh grade

Thought I was a renegade

But still in my tender phase

Did a couple drugs a day

Whatever I could get, I'd take, but I was getting As

Couldn't get better grades, so everybody looked the other way

Girls was playing games, but they ain't really wanna play

I tried and I tried, I was shy, would always run away

Then one day I realized what I wanna say

But it only came out right when I was on the mic

When I was freestyling or when I would write

Then twelfth grade hit, I dropped my first shit

Maybe I'll gain some love, show how hard I could spit

Plus I got to let a lot off my chest

Even if it was just me that learned from the words I said

At first ain't shit change, the girls in my grade liked herbs that I couldn't respect

So I'd act like I couldn't care less

And the other girls would date guys that were twenty-eight

And I looked younger than my age, so where was I left?

Didn't stand a chance at the dance

Didn't see where I was going, didn't even give a glance

I was repulsive

Then bagged this older chick Dominique at Dylan Schultz's crib

And it was so sick

But still had to figure out my own shit, where to go next

Had to make a plan stat, my parents on my ass

Talking college in my ear

And ain't no way in hell that I'm following my peers

High school took enough years

Done there

Ain't going back, getting stuck there

Nah, I'm starting a career

And I guess that it was rap

And it all seemed so clear after that

Aftermath, I'm here


[Chorus]

And we still here

And it don't stop

As the globe goes

And the trees blow

So does the stove top

When the tea kettle blows

Seen better days, but need these days to let 'em know


[Post-Chorus]

I just let it roll

I just gotta get 'em with the flow

A veteran, but they would never know

I'm about have to let it go

They regretted ever letting him in the door

I just let it roll


[Verse 2]

Whether shedding tears or a laugh

The years that I've had

The beers I've bagged up, drank in the bag of a cab

The fear that I didn't let steer me down the wrong path

Goes back way before Uber and all that

It was always yellow, other then when it was dollar cabs

Holler back

Call a fact a fact, recalling back

Ah, ah, ah

When I yerp, shorty yerp back

Drawstring knapsack where I kept the pack at

I don't know if I had the words that describe how I felt

When I finally took a look at myself

After all this time, realized what I got under my belt

Ain't no undo, but whatever conundrum that's dealt

If you summon 'em, the gods coming through to help

It's something that you feel, not something you could tell

Anybody but your delf, it's too real

We still here, 'til death I do my deal

Not part of it, the whole thing

If I started it, I'm finishing it, no strings

Attached, everything floating

We just going through the motions

So far, everything coasting

Got my microphone, I'm toasting

Like I'm Yellowman, at the festival out at Meadowlands flowing

Been a while, but crowd stole 'em, then I'm out

Leave 'em wild open with what's coming out my mouth

Uh


[Pre-Chorus]

It don't stop

It— Uh, uh

Look


[Chorus]

And we still here

And it don't stop

As the globe goes

And the trees blow

So does the stove top

When the tea kettle blows

Seen better days, but need these days to let 'em know


[Post-Chorus]

I just let it roll

I just gotta get 'em with the flow

A veteran, but they would never know

I'm about have to let it go

They regretted ever letting him in the door

I just let it roll


[Outro]

And you know

I couldn't go on with it, I'm so committed to grow

Everyone think that they know the kid

But he ain't fit in to the mold they give

So I ended up all alone again and again with every clique I was in

These days, catch me on the block if you wanna talk, if you need you a friend

If you need you a friend
