Going in first like cereal Flow like complete breakfast I don’t have excess dreams or exes MC Escher would be so jealous of me Patterns are making me cooler Pat on the back & I know what I’m doing Patent is pending, I swing for the fences Steal like an artist, I’m Ronald Acuña taking the series I’ve got a pit in my stomach & y’all are out popping your cherries It’s harder to hear me Moving like Perry the platypus Scheming is fairly elaborate so gimme gimme Got change for a 20? Maybe advice for somebody that’s in their early 20s Bedsides “save your money”? Moving 1000 in checking into my investing cause I've got a hunch & a couple months Profit I figure is going to mixing & mastering Rest of it goes in a fund End of an era, I’m sobering up Tennessee dreaming, I go with my gut Tend to be reading a book in a week I guess I finally know where to look Guess I gotta spell it out for ya Feel like Jake Gyllenhaal Kinda freaking myself out Diving into my roles Time traveling, woah How much time we got left bro? Time traveling, woah How much time we got LEFT? If I spell it out for ya Feel like Jake Gyllenhaal Kinda freaking myself out Diving into my roles Time traveling, woah How much time we got left bro Time traveling, woah How much time we got LEFT? Don’t believe me? Ok, Ok Release the green, I don’t mean 2K I can hear 3K & say Head clear as day, could be 4K Training for a 5K the way that my laces tied Don’t need a place to buy when I bloom Crawling through the night I got news You’re reaching out for an article Who tf are u tho Claiming that you got your pockets full Probably a PlayStation portable how you b playing these games Had disagreements with people but that doesn’t mean I don’t want em to win on their own Don’t be so lame I just cut some people off that had my name in their mouth It’s not personal but I just don’t need y’all in my life Time to level up, it’s not rocket science, October Sky I’m supposed to fly or fall w style To infinity, like silly me thinking virginity Taking my time like a whiskey distillery when I got whiskey inside of me Check out a new release, think I do better, but I can respect all the showmanship Kinda like parties I’m setting my feet & taking the charge in my phone & dipping Going outside & theres no reception til I spell it out for ya Feel like Jake Gyllenhaal Kinda freaking myself out Diving into my roles Time traveling, woah How much time we got left bro? Time traveling, woah How much time we got LEFT? If I spell it out for ya Feel like Jake Gyllenhaal Kinda freaking myself out Diving into my roles Time traveling, woah How much time we got left bro Time traveling, woah How much time we got LEFT?

Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time ambiance in the shade Even whiskey on the rocks turns to whiskey on the clock Feel like Nnamdi Asomugha in a play Found something I love Imma do it til I’m smoking table weed again Nikes on my feet again Future wife we meet again Probably do a lot for me if I could fall asleep at 10 but that’s unrealistic in light of recent events Ask me if I’ve seen a tv show; I probably haven’t Ask me if I’m keeping any secrets & I'm placid I mastered the way of framing good questions like Roger Rabbit out my hat so my palate’s above average Now for my other habits, just pulled one out the gym package Balling up the wrapper 'tween my index & my thumb until my tongues had it Fuck passing I just keep my lungs happy We don’t need a flux capacitor to make the month static at that I'm the man in my opinion Don't be mad just seek discomfort Mannerisms to the ceiling being something I believe in on a daily basis Speaking things into existence with familiar faces Still buying peach rings at the gas station Either that or hot fries & then a water to drink Or I could do a chocolate milk but then I can't get the rings Sweet teeth don't need bling Without teeth you can't sing What is adulting? Cause I can't figure that shit out My favorite rapper’s shit is leaking on the internet Should I send it to Bop or let the album drop to speak of it? Dilemma, dilemma, switch the perspective When it comes to my shit you don’t hear it til it’s ready Silly label execs You can miss me with the Prezi Rules of thumb are aplenty regarding moving in this industry Hella thumb thumbs making Floop look like the enemy Before I touch a pen I gotta think about my family I’ve always been a spy kid

about

what’s the rush to adulthood when youth is subjectively a limited resource? why are we so hell-bent on comparing growth trajectories when we live at our own paces?

every year, i watch age itself become less & less indicative of .. well, anything really. so i feel a weird pressure when someone (any age!) tells me that i need to act/speak/think/consume in particular ways to “keep up” with the others born in the same year as me. you don’t need to lose your virginity by 18. you don’t need to pick your dream job by 22. you don’t need to meet your soulmate by 30! own your growth how u wanna. it’s u.

“grow tf up” is the most hypocritical, least inspiring phrase available when it comes to catalyzing actual growth. nobody says “finish that sh*t” watering a plant. growth is not a command. we grow when we grow.

stay true to your inner child & let your youthful spirit shine forever. this one’s for the patient growers.
