Gavin’s Story

[Verse]

Close your eyes and I'm gon' tell you the story of a little boy
He was a little Indian, didn't wanna be no cowboy
He lived with his mama till he was at the age of 4
After that the court didn't wanna see him get beat up no more
He had two brothers, hailing from a different father
This was not really a problem, we all went to our one grandma
Lived together and in peace just like a family
But it was our favorite to just go right down the street
See our grandpa and he oversaw the young men that we be
He made me, not the streets. He's why I start making beats

He grew up and he went to Europe for a summer vacation
When he's nine he didn't expect to see a whole brand new nation
Well it was to him, not like he ever looked at a globe before
After this he really started feeling when he was home alone
Dropped in school, nothing to do, feeling sad and getting mad
Emotions flow and he doesn't know how to handle that
Puberty comes, he's a few years older, shit goes down he don't wanna be sober
Grandpa passed, his life feels over
Looks only like a three clover

Two years later, the boy's a creator, he's been listening a lot
Tuning in and learning it, he's putting his name in a pot
A pot of gold for his bros, making his grandparents proud of those
Those songs he made for them, those paths he paved for them, songs sang for them
He's making his mixtapes for the world to hear, he wants A-tier
He said he's taking this world over and giving it a brand new order
Making a new style and dominating this new floor
Who was that boy, he was me, he told you to bow on your knees
