FLORES - Grounded Lyrics

Who gon represent ELA and its youth
Who gonna dig us out when the bill is due
Who was born to be the leader, the freer, the Mister his image cannot be unclear

This mindset kept me worried
The thoughts heavy in my head too heavy, my shoulders burning
Keep my mask on as a form of courage and bank on my peers looking perfect?
I guess our bonds only on the surface
I know you paved the path for me
What is this success I seek? What does it entail?
No manual labor; I inherited your nails
Oh you were kings some lifetimes ago? alright fosho
Recently I noticed it's not them defeating us
We rely solely on a single young genius to get us out the bucket
Don't check on them, close the lid
Envy when we buy the block but celebrate a brick?

I'm not a prophet or final solution
I'm rocking a halo and large horns as a combo to cause confusion
Never speak my mind cus that's where my wisdom stays
But once I'll let it out 'til my mouth inflamed
I'm born in stardom, the land of the flames, got to be hot but needing my space
Why don't I have a celestial place?
The man of a million, from minimum wage
I'm hitting the stage like a glass drop, Citizen Kane
I do what I say, I do what I say
You abandon me? It's always been that way

Who threw everything away for rap fame
Who dug themselves in a hole with no escape
Who was born to sell their soul
Start a war, he thought his fate he controlled

You think I let go of my vision for rap?
I'm thinking above degrees, I'm smarter than that
If I don't make noise, does it mean that I ran?
I don't want your attention, it's a silent attack
I think you worry that I'm taking chances
I think you worry more when it's advancing
One day we sit amongst our classes
The next we wave our hands and move the masses

Win or fail, no endorphins, bigger picture too enormous
Endorsements can't change what I'm informing
Don't be scared of our performance
Be scared of our out-performance
If I could choose, I would not be chosen
Live a merry life, no proposing
Live a ferry tale, just coasting
But I live for my people, and my time is closing

Don't know me? Multiple choices
Don't know me? Multiple choices
