Lyrics Prologue (Swet 16) - Mteejay

See I'm
Straight outta the lands, that gave birth to humanity
Was born where the rivers meet, a clash between identities
And clash ain't nothing new to me, I been in it for 15 years
So when I got out I could really have a sweet sixteen

My mind keeps riding this metronome going TikTok
I lie in bed and watch as the scroll of my thoughts unfold, my memories
Been in this world, for straight 18 years and what I seen would probably put you in a psych ward,
But the Lord keeps me together and somehow, he's given me the best of friends, no
Best of ends, now I got bros that I could break my bread with
And I know that they'd do the same, cause when we chill, we chill like that all day
God bless em

This steady tap it pulls my mind and pours it out
This steady tone opens a zone where I am free and I'm alone
Take one note down, my minds a book
The pages almost filled are filled with love and pain, presents from time, lessons of mine
And now I string my bow, I pull my thoughts and let it go
The undertone, from my mistakes, I sang them out, let my God know
I hid my face behind my palm and hid my thoughts between some lines
I learned the law of the streets, I ever snitch I'm going overtime on jumping
I ain't want that
I kept my little words inside my chest
It hunched me over, so much weight I never thought that I would rest
So when I see a grey hooded 5'8 kid, with ripped up jeans
I only show love, I been there so I know how it is
I guess
