Sorry, I just had to clear my throat
My Back to the Future vibes
Yo, man like Mondo
It's the voice of the youth
Ayo, Liv, is that you?
Look, ayy, look
I just had a conversation with my future self
He was eighteen, two years older
He told me "You got a chip on your shoulder
Every time you feel like givin' up, you grow closer
You told Mom you'd show her the light, and you showed her
You told Dad and got him that new Range Rover
You took an L when your ex-girl made you colder
She left you, you fought through the pain, you're a soldier
You put your whole heart in your craft, it's profound
And you finished all the party with a number one album
And yeah, you got a few nominations
Didn't win awards, but your fans stayed vouchin'
A few years later, you're sittin' in the crowd
And your name gets called and the venue is proud
You got to the stage, the announcer shouts
That you won this award by a thousand miles
Many people watchin' didn't know what it took
For me to sit down and rap my pain on a slower beat
Lost many friends to drugs and crimes
And the innocent have died on my life and I know it's peak
Sis' went uni, you kept her close
You paid all your sister's student loans
You won you a MOBO, you won you a BRIT
Your ex ting's lookin' at you with, ha, yo
Any action that you take, you'll face repercussions
You just got a text from your ex and her thirsty cousin
Both of them are tryna settle down and have you as their husband
Ha, I text back "Babe, who doesn't?"
Started gettin' cocky for a minute, you were talkin' loud
Your manager, your mother and your father told you "Settle down
Listen to them, broski, they're wishin' for the best
They was here way before you felt success
Never ever call it quits, even if you take a knee
Even if you fall face first, get up on your feet
This was God's plan, destined, meant to be
We're not playin' no games, this is destiny
After all the late nights, times that you shed a tear
Times that you cried yourself to sleep to feel like you weren't here
You're startin' to grow and overcome your fears
Keep on bein' great, man, I'll see you in a couple years"
Yo, man like Mondo
