Rain

Yeah We used to walk up to Hillbrow barefooted Acting stupid with my niggas I wish y'all could see the footage And we would steal some snacks along the way And that should hold us for the day Just a bunch of shorties that always got dissed along the way Could never afford toys so we’d hit up game stores And by the end of the day we’d have cars and game boys Who would have thought things would change I mean me and Steven was tighter than Tini’s coming of age Every letter of every page we agreed on everything I think similar situations at the crib really played a part 207 with your mama and your sister and your pops would soon be abandoned And I was left alone That’s when I started hanging with marshal my older bro He looked out for me he was down for me And I would die for him Undoubtedly my best moments growing up were thanks to him But I could never really fit into the mix ’cause his poppa never liked me Acted like I ain’t give a shit but I did man that shit hurt That’s when I told myself f*ck it Started hanging with other niggas and it was lovely And that was my introduction to the liquor Sweetest feeling I had known but the taste was bitter I was 12 years of age with a mad amount of rage Stuck in a shitty life and I was going through a phase Felt like Danny dop was the save But at 12 I couldn’t buy it myself I felt caged So I I’d wait for the guys and steal some coins out my momma purse And wait till it’s time And they’d never sell to us kids so we’d pay a guy Homeless probably start the party And my momma worked a lot so she would never know And I was good at hiding shit and playing happy boy But it was bro to the rescue you showed me how to best move A couple of threats too so eventually I left dudes But we grew and grew apart Nothing lasts forever man I knew that from the start But you’ll always be my brody man on everything I got Yeah that’s on everything I Yeah Then fast forward 2017 I drop out of college I gotta chase the dream My eyes finally open to this life that’s outside of the city That’s when I knew I had to grind man I knew I had to get it Uh tried to be calm but it only made me colder I had to leave But you wouldn’t let me out you held on to the keys All this tension in the air shit was thicker than thieves And my greatest escape thought I’d find in the trees Finally free naïve me that shit wasn’t to be Losing the grip on reality I needed some sleep A little time off would do man I needed some peace And I was still dealing with a heartbreak needed a fix But i couldn’t tell a soul they’d think I was weak So roll me a joint or pass me a cigg Uh give me a shot matter of fact pass the bottle I’ll swig I’m too far gone and I’m stuck in the mid stuck in a pit And ain’t wrote in a bit My anxiety screaming music ain’t working for shit And at this point I’m really contemplating calling it quits And 2018 had passed but on Christmas Eve I realized I was different like of a different breed That’s when everything changed I knew I had to achieve greatness And do some things that they still ain’t seen That’s when it dawned on me like boy you’re the shit And everything that you’ve needed has been down in a beat So I got a job and built a studio then hoped on some beats Beat beat beat man beat after beat Till I ain’t have nothing to give but accept this defeat Uh bottom of the barrel found myself at the bottom With a bottle in hand and bothered again by the thought I might fail Bothered by noise and bothered by fear Bothered I’m here broke I’m bothered I’m not balling this year But I bottle my fears Put a hold on my tears They swear they caught a glimpse Rebuttal my nigga get the f*ck outta here Could never be me I smile and act cheer But it’s far from sincere ’Cause truth is I’m embarrassed I can’t afford my own beer No I wasn’t born to be basic But to be lord of the cadence They say timing and patience But I’m tired of the waiting I might stop on occasion but so dedicated Got the heart of a lion now let the jungle hear Simba roar Roar not like Perry roar But roar like yo pay me more Roar like I want it all raw Raw not like Monday night raw but raw like a clip of a brawl That’s how you serve a king of the jungle I’m Magnus after all I’m the don not Corleone Not choice but calling homie The reason your cardi’s on me my aura suggests king Even though I got nothing on me Bottom of the barrel bottom again At the bottom and bare Bottom not scared F*ck it I’m done looking for stairs Counting mistakes pitying self I made the most of it all and found gold in the words that I said I finna meditate on everything they’ll watch me ascend And though they shifted focus from the raps to the scandals Bruh what’s good for the goose ain’t always good for the gander Subpar bars for oh my god’s Subpar arts get oh my god’s Yes men gas em up like yo bro man it’s all 5 starts it’s so hot hot When it’s so haha You tell the truth they call it hate yeah don’t blow my high You tell the truth and burn a bridge niggas go bye bye Well I got enough friends so I will not lie Stand firm behind these words that I’m writing on fern 10 toes behind the scripts Yeah don’t f*ck with my pen Magnus
