I was in the east end rolling up a salad
On the phone with Nomai, we composed a couple ballads
Now I got the cosign from my heroes in the neighborhood
They say my flavor good, haters been invalid
Couple of my peers used to tell me in a couple of years
That if they didn't get some fame they'd let the name disappear
Well that's the type of outlook that kinda struck me as weird
Let me deconstruct the reasons that have led me to here
Look, I'm crazy bout phonics
Flowzus loves language like the culture loves chronic
I also love chronic
I also love collaborative work and it's so ample
Man, I'd love to hear my vocals on top of a soul sample
I love the local scene, I found some best friends in it
I love the sense of history and the respect that we give it
So I'm reflecting when I hear em get defeatist and such
How could I ever leave a genre that I needed so much?
I'm a star or a bard or a poet
I'll be throwing bars till my whole city know it
And maybe all my royalty green still comes from Bojack streams
But what's a local rap scene without a Flowzus?
I used to be concerned, I was burned, I was beat up
Now I'm in my lane with my spirits and my feet up
I used to be vain, goals changed with the weather
Disposition great, now Flowzus is forever
I used to be upset, I was stressed, I was jaded
Now I count my wins, big grins like I made it
Used to be vain, switch lanes like the weather
Disposition changed, now Flowzus is forever
Definitely my favorite and like some of the funnest parts of like
Working on these projects
Has been like all the goofiness
Of what you include with like your family in these choruses
It's sounding something like the death of an internet rapper
Used to think I'd blow up fast, didn't ask about the after
Didn't think about the travel or the way my life could slowly come unraveled
If I had to swap the passion for the masters
And now I rock the whole enchilada, got a lot of success
Cause my medulla oblongata keep the beat in my chest
So when I wake up to my family and my studio is handy
I know Flowzus doing better than the best (hell yes)
I used to be concerned, I was burned, I was beat up
Now I'm in my lane with my spirits and my feet up
I used to be vain, goals changed with the weather
Disposition great, now Flowzus is forever
I used to be upset, I was stressed, I was jaded
Now I count my wins, big grins like I made it
Used to be vain, switch lanes like the weather
Disposition changed, now Flowzus is forever
Is super inspiring to me to be honest
And I think it's pretty cool you managed to put out
Such like a creative bunch of art
While simultaneously like focusing on what matters
