[intro: Apollo]
Just some young n***as getting high (x5)
[verse 1: JAY GXLD]
This BK, if you ain't from it you ain't gonna love it
We ain't got time for nobody tryna rip the culture
The f**ing vultures see us winning, wanna eat up off us
Tell them n***as get to stepping, ain't got nothing for 'em
I dream of days on the stage, they cheering my name
Maybe some fame would help the kid to sell out Barclays
I'm thinking big, wonder where Gxld gon' go
You know I'm headed for success so this my Pro Bowl flow
I got everybody watching, ima put on a show
I'm just a youngin from the land of wearing techs in the snow
Where my n***as staying lifted always blowing they smoke
They tryna get a lil higher to the point where they float
And there ain't no problems where I'm tryna go
But the weed keep me numb, that's how i know how to cope
Look, it's Jay Gxld, not Jay Gold-Plated
b**h I'm 24K, there's your reason to hate me
Spend my days writing verses, I don't even bump no other sh**
This rapping got me stressing, done already rolled a couple spliffs
Weighing off the heavy sh**, I'm high off the smell of it
Word to STEEZ i hold the Beast down and keep it relevant
Never settling for less than 100 percent
Saving my bread to get the flawless whip, no dents
Tryna make this money without parking lot pimpin'
If I tried to push the weight I know my mother would be livid
All my peers saying that I'm young, black, and gifted
I got a bright future waiting, better not waste it
Generation Z is looking up to me and i embrace it
#TeamGXLD spread the love, Griot, what you gotta say to this?
[Verse 2: Griot]
Well sh**, if you ain't say so f**ing much I'd probably have something to add
It's cool, I ain't stuck in the past
I don't feel nothing but bad
Put me in rapper rehab
Every beat just make me mad
I don't feel nothing but wrath
I don't speak for nobody
But the verse is so bodied it just speak for everybody
I think it's the flow probably
Words hit the true blues and suwoops and lives taken too soon
As i adjust my mind state to new rules
For one i know the battle on d**
But the war is on us
Know why they use guns?
They made us too tough
That's why i keep a group of super n***as
Down to poof a n***a
n***as calling me a ruthless n***a like im Lucius n***a
Blow y'all out the water rhyming, y'all some one fish, two fish n***as
Stupid n***as
[Verse 3: JAY GXLD]
Dreams to reality, my hobbies to a salary
The goals in Gxld's mind
And I see with perfect clarity
Don't you ask me why I'm tryna make a masterpiece
You think this rapping easy?
Try it, let me see you master beats
It take some time to get good with the rhymes
Put me in the spotlights cause I'm trying to shine
I'm tryna be like Nas I wanna make this world mine
Brooklyn need a new king, and I guess it's my time
