ART REFLECTS LIFE

You see Art truly reflects life It's just crazy, but let me explain Introverted tendencies held me back when I started college You see, I tried to make my mark but I couldn't master the market The only black man in the class you start to feel like you a target Got my momma tweakin' on me like, boy you better stop it Freshman year, I'm young as hell, tryna get my kick game up Bustin' dishes, college cafeteria, I'm serious The first semester done, I find some sun in different areas Dorm all to myself, I'm recordin' til I'm delirious Take a look at how God carry us, glorious, that was my ending scene Coolin' in this college made me drop my first song, Friend of Me Then we had it on the Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal No longer labeled SoundCloud rap, I start to take this high road Introverted tendencies held me back when I started college You see I tried to make my mark but I couldn't master the market The only black man in the class you start to feel like you a target Got my momma tweakin' on me like, boy you better stop it Sophomore year, I'm kicked off of campus due to the COVID shock Introverted anyway, I'm gladly back with mom and pops Besides, I'm thinkin' that the shift would surely pass So here we are back in my room, I'm heatin' up this pen and pad In hopes to drop in the summer and blow like crazy Rumination was the product, the projects a COVID baby On the night it drop, I'm droppin' tears, they rollin' down my face Man all this time that I put in, it's like this moment can't replace Soon the album catches face from the verses spittin' my intro My sister made me music videos, all in junior year, that's scary though Still inside my parents' home, my grades, they start to slip I start to hide out from my friends and use COVID as the reason I needed treason from my mindset, droppin' songs like every Friday But still don't know where my mind's at, take the low or take the highway Friday freestyle it was good, but it wasn't really in my prime state Bout to drop about this college shit, like how much can my mind take I'm not gon' lie, the support was so needed My prayers were answered, soon as I received it A call from Avi David and my sister tell me people struggle It felt like in that moment, they done smacked me out my bubble From that day, I knew that I could shake the game until it crumble TD Garden, I saw Kendrick Lamar and still can't be humble Ay, back up to my college, senior year, I cannot stall it Takin' rides up to the U with pops, I'm feelin' so accomplished Four years of this madness, I'm back to droppin' these tracks again Took a break from rappin' to remind myself what passion is Now I'm bout' to graduate with the blackest of the blackest skin Down in the fourth quarter, this is how we get right back to them Introverted tendencies held me back when I started college In terms of makin' any marks, I'm playin' archery for profit The only black man in my class, but I got blue strips in my pocket Got my momma wildin' for me, like, boy, you better keep this up Young Art reflects life, and joy neglects pain Jordan's in these puddles, you won't find me in the rain no more
