25

25 years in the books Seven been tryna get poppin' off verses and hooks Recently found me a formula, promise it's harder than I make it look Think about where I would be if it weren't for all of the chances I took Ain't never touch an advance, but ran up a sack It's a babblin' brook on my necklace Most of my shit was neglected YSL, got it for cheap, it's a point of inflection New fans think my ascent was expected Couldn't be further from truth Wasn't until I developed obsessions Started to live in the booth Locked in with Chxll and he showed me the game Eventually my numbers shot through the roof Niggas been callin' me "goated" I walk on the beat and it's Margiela hoof If I ain't walkin' I floated, they tested my carbon emission for proof And if I said that I wrote it, I don't need no help when it come to the ink VVS choker, they askin' if I got a kink I cop and I'm re up before you can blink Pandemic pushed me to brink I feared the future, it forced me to focus It made me realize all of the hustle I put in before, that was bogus Trickin' myself into thinkin' I'm workin', but really a nigga was coastin' I got too comfortable, needed to feel a lil' pressure to push it in motion Sit by the ocean, I'm grippin' the grains Same as when I'm in the buildin', insane Thoughts of my momma are fresh in my brain Still ain't know how to adjust to the pain Told her I'm hittin' new levels The breeze increasin', I talk, it's special I never feel too alone 'cause I feel it coursin' through all of my vessels My first birthday without her, I still tryna process and balance it all But me and my dad gettin' closer, he keep me together I love when we call It's hard to go home, but it's worth it to see him The time that we spendin', I wish I could slow it Sometimes I don't even know how to show it I love him to death and I hope that he know it
