male vocals
rap
Gritty boom-bap drums with a swung pocket
warm sampled keys
and deep bass. Male vocals laid right on top of the snare
conversational in the verse then raised and emphatic on the hook. Sparse verse arrangement; chorus brings in stacked ad-libs and subtle vocal doubles. Mix leans raw and present
like a cypher caught on tape
with a short filtered breakdown before the final hook.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Late night
Same shoes, same block (yeah)
Heart got miles on it
Still I walk
[Verse 1]
Mama said, "Watch your circle
Sharp smiles cut more than knives"
I learned math counting problems
Stacking Ls just to stay alive
Bus stop, one pair of earbuds
Whole world in a cracked screen glow
Hungry, but the dream got louder
Every time my stomach said "no"
[Chorus]
I came up from the bottom of the bottom
Turn pain into words, now I got ’em
They said I’d be gone by the autumn
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em (yeah)
I was sleeping in the dark, heart rotten
Now I’m lighting up the sky, that’s the problem
They prayed on my fall, I forgot ’em
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em
[Verse 2]
Hand-me-down rage in my dresser
Old scars under new ink
Whole hood turned to a lecture
"Do you make it out or sink?"
Friends turned ghosts in a minute
Phones ring, I let it go mute
If you ain’t here for the struggle
Don’t pull up for the salute (nah)
[Chorus]
I came up from the bottom of the bottom
Turn pain into words, now I got ’em
They said I’d be gone by the autumn
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em (woah)
I was sleeping in the dark, heart rotten
Now I’m lighting up the sky, that’s the problem
They prayed on my fall, I forgot ’em
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em
Late night
Same shoes, same block (yeah)
Heart got miles on it
Still I walk
[Verse 1]
Mama said, "Watch your circle
Sharp smiles cut more than knives"
I learned math counting problems
Stacking Ls just to stay alive
Bus stop, one pair of earbuds
Whole world in a cracked screen glow
Hungry, but the dream got louder
Every time my stomach said "no"
[Chorus]
I came up from the bottom of the bottom
Turn pain into words, now I got ’em
They said I’d be gone by the autumn
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em (yeah)
I was sleeping in the dark, heart rotten
Now I’m lighting up the sky, that’s the problem
They prayed on my fall, I forgot ’em
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em
[Verse 2]
Hand-me-down rage in my dresser
Old scars under new ink
Whole hood turned to a lecture
"Do you make it out or sink?"
Friends turned ghosts in a minute
Phones ring, I let it go mute
If you ain’t here for the struggle
Don’t pull up for the salute (nah)
[Chorus]
I came up from the bottom of the bottom
Turn pain into words, now I got ’em
They said I’d be gone by the autumn
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em (woah)
I was sleeping in the dark, heart rotten
Now I’m lighting up the sky, that’s the problem
They prayed on my fall, I forgot ’em
Look at me now, look at me now, I got ’em
