lyrics

Been around for a minute, but you wouldn’t know
Kickin back in my Blue Jays fitted, now it’s time to go
Been cruisin’ since the honour roll
Flipping and kicking and busting out the windows
Been doing what I can with the light that the sun bestows
It’s hard when you’re stuck here
Winnipeg seems like a good place for racketeers
It’s the North Pole half the year
Ain’t nobody gonna wanna come here in February
I don’t mind the cold, I stay inside stacking up my vocabulary
Flicking the wrist like a free throw
LeBron can’t compete with these bars doe
He’d hit the Snap to jam out to this verse
I better rehearse this
That ain’t a sneak diss
I don’t play with that stuff, I only wrote this
Just give a second
Waiting for all my L’s to turn into 7’s
Doubled up and lowered, might turn into 11 if I’m selling
Might sound like a reverend
But I know that man, I gotta get it, that’s fo sho
Will I ever get it, I don’t know
Thinking this is it isn’t wrong
But taking it back isn’t the clearest way to attack if you never learn
Watch the American flag while it burns

It was 21 years ago
Why the world had to do that? Man, I don’t know
Feels like it started 21 years ago, oh
But when I talk to the world, they throw my words at my face
When I talk to the world, they put me back in my place
When I talk to the world, they throw my words at my face

I’ve never been one to bring other people down
But I can admit that I’ve cowered at the sound of a pronoun
I’m Amelia at heart cause when I’m lost, I’m never found
I could stand to lose a pound or two, but I never announce it aloud
I make eyebrows raise cause that means I’m making you think
Or at least that’s the vibe it gives off
Cause when the flow this hard, all the beats looking soft
But there ain’t no need to scoff at me, bruh
I never meant to put a word in, didn’t even pay the fee
Every message sent, I hope you hit that subject with a Re:
Value experiences over money or a degree
Seen people never have the opportunities that I got
Whether that’s because of the funds, the fam, or the sound of a gunshot
Seconds turn into things I could never count
I feel it too but I know I’ll never know what your struggle about
So I kept my thoughts to myself
As per usual, I kept my heart on the shelf
I know that getting this shit out is a part of good health
You seem so good at it, I wanna be too, but I hope this feelings are felt
