[intro]
yeah
welcome to beats and pieces volume one, my friends
yeah, yeah

[verse 1]
yeah this is for me, for when i was thirteen
for the love of making beats and for the love of sixteens
for the love of the game, for the love of the whole scene
for the love of my family, for the love of the team

before i became impatient and fixated on playlist*
curators and taste makers
before i sought getting famous and claiming greatness
when i was in bas*m*nt, rapping over beat tapes feeling amazing

before we became the snowflake generation
offended and full of hatred in conversation
segregated over timelines and hashtag statements
always building platforms like we’re waiting at train stations

yeah this is for my friends, you know who you are
who believed in the dream and kept me writing these bars
the long road ain’t the wrong road we travelled so far
and we paid for every word, you can check out the scars

this is for us becoming suns instead of shining like stars
so we live longer than our time and build something that lasts
this is for laughing til’ you lose your breath
for knowing the moment is a gift worth more than what you lose in death

[chorus]
if you’re feeling like i’m feeling and you wanna be free
put one hand in the air and say “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
if you’re feeling like i’m feeling and you wanna be free
put one hand in the air and say “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”

[verse 2]
i walk around with headphones on and nothing playing
just trying to find a way to escape from the mayhem
i’m thinking about leaving but i act like i’m staying
infatuated with being in every place that i ain’t

i’ve been doing this a decade, man it’s hard to explain
i got lyrics written like essays and they’re etched in my brain
i’ve been asked a hundred times if i’m in it for the fame
if i was, i wouldn’t be here bruv, i’m in it for the change

speakin’ of change, getting paid, that’s why you need to diversify
prostitute to work and you might earn a night but it won’t serve your life
i’m tryna purge my pride
that’s the snake on every ladder that i work to climb

and they say the higher sights are always worth the climb
so don’t define your life by your worser nights
i promise, morning is coming
someone needs to hear that; morning is coming

[chorus]
if you’re feeling like i’m feeling and you wanna be free
put one hand in the air and say “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
if you’re feeling like i’m feeling and you wanna be free
put one hand in the air and say “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”

if you’re feeling like i’m feeling and you wanna be free
put one hand in the air and say “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
aye, “that’s gonna be me”
if you’re feeling like i’m feeling and you wanna be free
put one hand in the air and say “that’s gonna be me”
aha, “that’s gonna be me”
ugh, “that’s gonna be me”
