The 20-year old has toured with New Orleans’ Pell and Danish pop-soul band Lukas Graham, performed at Lollapalooza and Moogfest, collaborated with Killer Mike (“Hands Up”) and Cardinox (“Doors” remix), and has even written songs and appeared on recent albums for Tori Kelly (“Expensive”) and Ariana Grande (“Sometimes”).

LYRICS
VERSE 1
I’m the nigga came up cold
All the shit they must atone
Let my enemies yell at me, hobby for the young bro
It’s a tragedy when someone black as me get gold
Time to slaughter, Street Fighter fist, that’s Nintendo
Told my alma mater gotta send me money, Venmo
Put us on map, don’t sleep siesta, man, blow
Jack won’t be no nigga serenading with a banjo
Real reckless dude with a crew, carry ammo
Thought predicting winning would be something so taboo
But now I’m monkeying around with my brothers, baboons
Atlanta in Hollywood, it’s on schedule
Chef in the bank, been eatin, check my dental
Plenty sugar, suite life, kicked it in the pent, ho
My sheets all green, they don’t knit me a bando
And a nice sweater, too fit, seen levels
Floating here, shining, I need me a drum roll
CHORUS
I’m too raw raw raw, I’m a villain, I’m a don
Mask and cape, somebody ring the alarm
Wild boy boy boy, can’t tame me, nah
Started that flame, somebody ring the alarm
VERSE 2
I’m the nigga, hit em quick, right hook, threw the fist,
All the leeches swimming with me getting no benefit
In the dirty pond, fake homies won’t ever stick
Hang with real players, my gamers control this shit
Did it for the Internet, choke a youngin by his neck
Hoping some bystanders lookin and filmin it
Another Atlanta nigga dead, killed by his best friend
Said he changed on em, didn’t text back or DM
I’m the nigga represent, I’m your mans till the end
Raise up my kinfolk, take over, that’s the plan
On a mission, 100 grand, sickness showing symptoms man
Rather be hurting than healthy and not a champ
Nigga I done been the man, my pillow talk to the bands
Sleep real good when there’s dinner ready for my fam
I ain’t fucking comfortable, running out, take a stand
Started that fire, I’m a hoodlum in gym pants
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Stunt with all the things you got
Ain’t gon put em in a box
You ain’t never gon stop
Raise some funds, cop the stocks
Do it til they know your name on the block
Til you respected, claim your right, you the king of the lot
I’m Afro Caesar, mean I don’t play with you guys
No lames in my chariot, no snakes in my ride
Cruising for days tryna find me the pot
Of gold, when I do imma feel like…
CHORUS
