Ooo.
Look around, what do you see?
The land of the free.
Yet we still live a word of slave-ery.
Welcome to the new reality.
I ain't got bring you back down to earth,
That's why we have gravity.

I like to brush my teeth, 1st thing I do when I wake.
Take shower, do my hair. It's getting kinda long.
Put on some Van's merch, and turn on Spotify and play drake.
Than I go to stream games, it's been a minute since I wrote a song.
Text a misunderstood message to my girl, I'm always wrong.
I'm getting this wack bald spot, so I get out the hair pills I gotta take.
Than I text the boys to get on so we can hang.
Kinda sucks, since Covid we all have kinda fell outta touch.
But they more than my blood brothers, they closer than a gang.
We die for eachother on the frontlines, and we always know how to clutch.
We always know how to roast, we always know what's to much.
We ain't ever duckin' when we hear the, BANG! BANG!
Aye.
Only time we see eachother, it be on a zoom call.
Rough life, tough like, imagine not being able to accept hugs.
Kinda messes with your head. I miss the skating parties with Smash bros Brawl.
I miss those pizza parties where we'd stay outside til we die to the bugs.
Our friend group is the prime example that you can have fun without drugs.
But what I really miss is shopping for Van's at the mall.

This is my life, a new reality.
I'm just waking up to wake up, that's my mentality.
I look white, but dont get that confused with my mexican nationality.
Sometimes I fly up to space to much, so I dont get along well with Gravity.
I'm not just rapper, ima master of minds, ya'll understand that anology?

Today I woke up thinking about the new age rap game.
It's kinda crazy to see hows it changed. When I grew up on Pit-Bull.
But if you listen to the music now, it's no where near the same.
Now we listening to this wack man 6ix9ine his ego, a bit-full.

"Haha, wait just bit?"
"Aw heck naw"
*Laughs*

I wouldnt believe you if you told me 5 years ago, this is how it'd change.
Future started the auto tune movement, that rap has became.
"Actually Post Malone started it" How can you be this-dull?
Back in my day it was Dora the explora with the Wii.
But look at all kids feeling entitled, to a cell phone.
Lemme tell em, y'alls age closes your perception. So you cannot see...
The bigger picture. And that makes you feel Alone.
And now they all fall into this trend of depression cyclone.
Lemme tell you if your 13 and your sad its prolly cause you listening to me. Haha.
Not because your actually depressed, you just feel sad.
You prolly ain't ever been diagnosed with this type of mess.
And just cause that's true, now you get defensive and get mad.
You have so many people telling you, you dont know the struggle. And that gives you stress.
And that makes you want to understand what it's like to be depressed.
And that is the trend. The older generation threw upon us, and that's bad.
Cause now we have all these sad lil wanna be's on the street.
That speak whatever comes to mind.
Than they complain about why they ass got beat.
Than they shout "Your sexist, homophobic, racist, and blind".
Yet the older crowd is just tryna give them life advice that's concrete.
But the young blood, it's in the dna of mankind to compete.
And now the schools have to market a simple curtsey to humans, "BE KIND".

This is my life, a new reality.
I'm just waking up to wake up, that's my mentality.
I look white, but dont get that confused with my mexican nationality.
Sometimes I fly up to space to much, so I dont get along well with Gravity.
I'm not just rapper, ima master of minds, ya'll understand that anology?

Sorry for the 2nd verse I kinda got into my deep side.
But back to my original plot, why I'm putting down the pen.
Because my life isn't anything interesting, I tried...
But all I ever did when I wrote was hurt myself again.
But you have to understand I'm not in the feels now I was then.
Nor I got the time. I gotta little brother that I gotta be able provide.

What you wanna her me rap about? A video game? And thoughts on Watermelon? That'd be the material.
But dont get that mixed up with my skill. I still got the skill.
It's just my life is boring for y'all to record, unless I had a miracle.
But until than ima keep doing me. I'm learning how to grill.
To be honest my life these past couple weeks has been pretty chill.
And I'm still the same man, still the same lyrical man that's spiritual.
And I'm digging my new girl with a passion.
Still praying to god for forgiveness and his help. Telling him thoughts.
I will never forget his compassion. Something we as people cannot ration.
She helping me become happy, telling me the oughts, and naughts.
Couldnt let her go, I knew that woulda been loss.
She helping me look at the man in mirror, got me on my Micheal Jackson.
Aye.
She got me on my Micheal Jackson.

This is my life, a new reality.
I'm just waking up to wake up, that's my mentality.
I look white, but dont get that confused with my mexican nationality.
Sometimes I fly up to space to much, so I dont get along well with Gravity.
