In this song, Kayo reflects on his upbringing and how he has gotten to the position he is now in whilst staying grounded.
Yeah, Yeah
We just gon-
We just gonna do it like this
Bad Sushi
Yeah, Yeah
(Verse 1)
Uh
Always knew I had a purpose looking back at it
Mama had me at sixteen on accident
Palmdale, California, Tell me what's your hustle worth?
Ain't no blessing on this Earth without a struggle first
Christian Sundays, Islam Mondays
Back on forth through families, I couldn't live one way
But some days
Brother Royce would come through with them bean pies
Tenaye, sister, mother cooking making sure I eat right, (right)
Like asalaam alaikum, live heavensent not just for sensation
Four parents, two homes each new season
Everything happens, happens for a new reason
(Hook)
But now I need some time to get my way back
Cruise in the city, the speakers are bumping a layback
I got love for my city I can't fake that
So I'm starting up the whip and I'm going back to my hometown
So everything can slow down
I'm way too unfocused
Distracted and soulless
It's too much
It's too much, (too)
Too much
It's too much
It's too much
It's too much, (oh)
Yeah
(Verse 2)
I started rhyming and really writing these twisted riddles
Infatuated with flicking photos and faded pixels
Cinema-tography addict designing spirits son
Couldn't find right occupation so I invented one
Editter, photo-flick, media specialise
Had to find customers, I like my life customised
So many things that I summarise when summer dies
Swear these niggas halos are funyun sized
And I know
(Hook)
But now I need some time to get my way back
Cruise in the city, the speakers are bumping a layback
I got love for the city I can't fake that
So I'm starting up the whip and I'm going back to my hometown
So everything can slow down
I'm way too unfocused
Distracted and soulless
It's too much
It's too much, (too)
Too much
It's too much
It's too much
It's too much, (oh)
Yeah
