KIDS

[00:21.85] Ayy, uh

[00:23.71] I'm puttin' numbers on the board and blowin' more digits

[00:26.63] I haven't started, man, these are just the before pictures

[00:29.29] Shout out my parents, my mother gave birth to four winners

[00:31.95] All of the players in the game, it's always cold benches

[00:34.89] Been in the studio, I forgot how to sleep

[00:37.28] Not tryna make an album they forget 'bout in a week

[00:40.19] They said the fruit never gon' fall far from the tree

[00:42.85] I used to be the kid, now the kids wanna be me

[00:45.77] Trippin' 'bout my future like way before there was cameras

[00:48.46] Hella plans on my calendar 'fore I went all professional

[00:51.68] Less souls to trust, man, these people makin' me cynical

[00:54.34] More copycats and less people soundin' original

[00:57.00] Same destination, we just took different routes

[00:59.65] Fuck bein' one the greatest, I'm tryna be the greatest one

[01:02.30] I ain't sayin' I ain't grateful for everything I've become

[01:04.96] But the throne is more comfortable than this chair I'm sittin' on

[01:08.14] My name is Brian, cold bars is what I'm known for

[01:11.33] If my vision is scarin' me, then I don't go for it

[01:14.00] 'Member my first days here when it was all foreign

[01:16.66] Now I'm on TV with James Corden, that shit was crazy

[01:19.58] Just got a place with a backyard, I feel amazing

[01:22.20] Nothin' can get between me and the dreams I'm chasin'

[01:25.43] Ain't got the time for partyin', no more gettin' wasted

[01:28.09] Unless you got the 1942, man, then get the chaser

[01:31.28] You hatin' on me, but you know I gotta

[01:33.93] You big in your city, I'm the king of a continent

[01:36.32] These rappers tryna make the trendin' topic

[01:38.49] Why the state of music goin' south?

[01:40.62] But I don't even want to talk about it

[01:41.94] Let's talk about it, nah, let's talk about it

[01:44.60] Before all these folks decide it's cool to give a fuck about it

[01:47.52] Everyone's tryna make hits, I'm just tryna make music

[01:50.44] You know, the kind that makes you feel when you listen to it?

[01:53.14] I'm the youngest child, I don't need more attention

[01:55.52] You writin' some bullshit, I write the lyrics meant for the captions

[01:58.41] I'm makin' songs that'll probably outlive us for generations

[02:01.07] Started off as the sailor, look at me, now I'm the captain

[02:04.29] I won't lie, this shit is fun

[02:06.68] Tell these Asian kids they could do what they want

[02:09.60] Might steal the mic at the Grammy's just to say we won

[02:12.25] That everyone can make it, don't matter where you from

[02:15.44] Can't forget about the day that Sean called me

[02:17.83] Talkin' 'bout a vision called 88 that he's dreamin'

[02:21.02] Man, I love him like a brother, if we fall, we gon' recover

[02:23.15] Just a man with a vision who mastered in causin' trouble (You can't see)

[02:27.14] Man, I can't see the finish line

[02:28.99] Fall back, fall back, I ain't fuckin' 'round this time (Anymore)

[02:31.92] Did God know he created a legend in '99? (Anymore)

[02:34.57] Fuck pretendin' on a track, man, I mean every single line

[02:37.73] Touched down, never holdin' back

[02:39.84] Shinin' like some bustdown, sailin' 'round without a map

[02:42.54] Been a underdog, now it's time to let me quarterback

[02:45.23] Killin' shit in uncharted territories, man this shit get hella gory

[02:48.94] Whole country of people proud, so I'm never worried

[02:51.60] Glad you're sittin' through the credits, man, this is my story

[02:54.84] The type of shit that make me cry when I record it

[02:57.23] This the type of shit that still gon' make me cry even when I'm 40

[03:00.41] R.I.P. Nipsey, R.I.P. Mac

[03:02.81] These inspirations always gon' motivate me to rap

[03:05.46] Let's celebrate their lives and the people that they impact

[03:08.14] The marathon continues, ain't no way we lookin' back

[03:11.07] Amazon Prime flow, you know I'll always deliver

[03:13.49] We crossed oceans for a chance just to feel somethin' better

[03:16.67] Generations to sacrifice, that we'll always remember

[03:19.36] It's that circle of life shit, they hold me up like I'm Simba

[03:22.58] They told me I ain't welcome, I'm here to stay, and my visa says so

[03:25.50] Just wait and see who's songs they gon' blast up in they headphones

[03:28.41] Come back like every couple years to destroy like tornadoes

[03:31.07] Victorious tropical flow comin' straight from Indo'

[03:33.99] These plants only grow to just get cut and disposed

[03:36.64] Their spotlight is dimmin', my future's so bright that it glows

[03:39.30] You want the blueprint for impossible, I'll let it show

[03:41.97] Remember when Pac said, "The concrete grows a rose"
