[Futuristic, Abstract - Arrived lyrics]
You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time
They still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top
Tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm livin' mine
Came up off a dream and a laptop
Open doors for the team like a bellhop
Used to cruise South Park when my shift end
Spark spliffs while I shift
Through the west end
Now I show up and they all got questions
Back home and you know how the stress gets
Tell the kids from the town with a passion
I'm the proof you can move to the masses
Yeah, they gonna tell you who to be (Lies)
Don't nobody wanna see you free (Why?)
Everybody sayin' who to be
Now they're tellin' everybody
So everybody repeats
Livin' in a bubble where
Trouble is self made
Everyone a lil' sorry for
Playin' it too safe
So they wanna keep you livin' with
Them in the same cage
Gotta show 'em that we're tired
Of livin' the same way
Small town raised but I
Got it movin' 'cause
I knew I had to break that mold
(Oh yeah)
Mindstate from a high place
Had to shift plates to be Grand
As the peaks back home
(Oh yeah)
Shift gears when I hit tears
On my tenth year payin' rent in the game
Now I live here
All it took was the pain and the passion
What a way to come back from the ashes
You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time
They still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top
Tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm livin' mine
Yeah
Yo, I arrived (Yeah)
No, not to my surprise (No)
Knew I would blow since I was five (Yeah)
Now that boy shine like a firefly
Can't dim the light when I hold the flame
(Yeah)
Coach rappers, now I know the game (Yeah)
Straightjacket 'cause the flow insane (Yeah)
Real life how I wrote the page
My story got started with catchin' bodies
Bend the industry, I spit Pilates
Paper stackin' underneath the mattress now
Can't fold it, no origami
Know who around me, only day ones
Fake, what I stay away from
Safe around me, better stay from 'round me
If you hatin' on me, you get tapped up
(Look)
Get paid just to walk in the club
Pop me a bottle, don't talk to a scrub
If you show love, then it's reciprocated
My people done made it, we came from the mud
Remember the days I was makin' a dub
Now it's Kinko's the way that
My paper is up
Been droppin' bars since the man was a boy
I was writin' my rhymes while
They played in the tub
You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time
They still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top
Tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm livin' mine
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time
They still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top
Tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen had a dream, now I'm livin' mine
