Lyrics

We're so young, so young to stop the chase
It's alright, it's okay my man its not a waste
Just another, moment in time, you'll be fine
Don't ya know, every steps another step to being great, ya dig
Yeah sometimes I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing
Or I'm in the wrong place, or I'm in the wrong scene
I couldn't really sing, so I started rapping, hold up
There's way more nuance to this story, lemme turn it back
2018 I was 16, cutting on my legs
People saw it balling, while I was jumping
Someone reported my ass
I'm walking down to the office, with my bag on my bag
They said I was acting out, just seeking some attention
Well fuck that guy, I thank my mumma for the prevention
Attention, attention, may I please have your attention
We moving on now, part two takes us to ugh
2019 I was 17, bumping dollar and a dream
I had a gleam for life, it felt like
Everything was going right, everything would be alright
Just sticking to my own path, getting over some things
Itching closer it seemed, met my future wife
We the real team, fuck it we the real team
Was cutting people off like a guillotine
Was coming off the ground floor, like a mezzanine until
2020 I was 18, something changed within me
Losing my mind, on the daily it seemed
Clear thoughts were now jaded, contorted
On the lockdown, guitar pick up record it
Back when I had just discovered Audacity
My homie said, "Man you should try rapping on beats" well
I never considered that, but figured I'd give it a crack aye
I sucked shit, but a passion was born man
I masked it but, I was adoring it
Kept it on the d-low, ain't nobody know
And that's fine by me, it's time to see
Whether I can push this farther than, sitting in my car seat cause
We're so young, so young to stop the chase
It's alright, it's okay my man it's not a waste
Just another, moment in time, you'll be fine
Don't ya know, every steps another step to being great
And I say that with love, cause there's simply not enough
Going round, play this sound
Caught ya while your down
Lemme, wound ya back up, hit the hard reset
Ain't no secret to this shit, just gotta keep it
Pushing like I'm the skate deck
Skate 3 on my tv, when I'm baked yeah
I can't fake it, anymore something bout
Opening the door just a bit, makes it easier to spit
Makes it easier to write these lines, and feel aligned
I'm true to self, and no one else
Bitch, I'm feeling sublime okay
Just got back from balling this morning
A father teaching his son shooting form
And it got me reflecting
Wishing that my father did more maybe
I know life's complexities, I'm certainly not tryna
Blame, that'd be lame, I'm just saying
He did his best, I needed the rest, but that's okay
Life's a mess, moving on pushing on see
Life's been great, I navigate, appreciate
I sometimes, still dissociate
From all the bullshit, really just some bullshit
I wipe that off me like, not today homie
Kobe, how I'm shooting my shot, I'm fading away
You put a hand in my face, I'm still splashing that shit
I'm really on one, never been this locked in
My routine like fine cuisine
I'm looking, tasting, feeling good
I would fly if I could
But like my business, here I am stood
On this ground, I'm underground right now
But Imma get loud and astound, soon enough
You gon' learn the name RANGA
Cause the music too tough
To ignore, but listen here I implore
For you to get involved
With ya self, chase a dream, it's for ya health
It's never too late, to get on the chase
I had to replace a mindset, keeping me stuck in my place
I wanna say, if you aren't chasing
At least be, chasing adjacent, lets face it
One fire lit, can ignite the whole fire pit
Wanna get it, well get after it
Just remember
We're so young, so young to stop the chase
It's alright, it's okay my man it's not a waste
Just another, moment in time, you'll be fine
Don't ya know, every steps another step to being great
And I say that with love, cause there's simply not enough
Going round, play this sound
Caught ya while your down
Lemme, wound ya back up, hit the hard reset
Ain't no secret to this shit, just gotta keep it
Aye
We're so young, so young to stop the chase
It's alright, it's okay my man it's not a waste
Just another, moment in time, you'll be fine
Don't ya know, every steps another step to being great
And I say that with love, cause there's simply not enough
Going round, play this sound
Caught ya while your down
Lemme, wound ya back up, hit the hard reset
Ain't no secret to this shit, just gotta keep it
Pushing
