Yo, welcome to my mind

There′s no exit when you're inside

I coexist and coincide

With a darker meat even though the future′s so bright

I go Basquiat when they say I'm a man of colour

There's fathers praying they don′t lose their sons in the summer

I came from the mud, I′ma tryna save me and my mother

Had a gut feeling you can only get in the gutter

Blood's thicker than water, I′m only friends with my brother

Have you ever seen a plug running from a runner

I'm six feet but my nigga′s six feet under

Lightning never strikes twice, would you hit me thunder?

Something told me not to leave my yard that night

Saw Scarface in the morning, I was scarred that night

Going hard's kinda hard at times

Being unarmed had me wishing on a star that night

Ooh, gotta move forward

Gotta grab the aux every time the mood′s awkward

I'ma need a Phantom 'cause the mandem′s too haunted

If we′re in a bid to survive then who auctions?

We can either be notorious or Wallaces

Got a presidential after all the politics

Broken homes, broken families, broken promises

Everyone was talking, I just heard the voice within

And it told me something I've never been told before

He said "The key′s to success, you get them to open doors"

So I'ma either rap or have no rapport with the poor

Council housing but we never had any council at all

Just our own intuition

When you′re working class, you can't afford a tuition

So there′s work in class, a form and if you flip it

You'll profit off your own prophecy with no religion

I'm in all Christian, Diors with Louboutins, I′m kicking down doors

They say you get what you give but I′m giving out more

Even when they tell ten stories, I'm on the ground floor

Mum said I had too much pride, she couldn′t be proud more

Yeah, your boy's a man now

They listen to me left and right, look how it′s panned out

I was that handicapped kid without his hand out

And I still don't need a hand ′cause there's crowds of people that clap for me now

Clap for me loud, I wanna feel it

I was in a scary movie, everybody screaming

But my sixth sense showed me the angels and demons

Now I'm tryna raise the roof ′til there′s no ceilings

I'm the definition of meaning

Having purpose ain′t an accident, you've gotta mean it

I don′t need no practice, I just practice what I'm preaching

I′m unbelievable, I give you something to believe in

Yeah, what I pull up in might not be what I leave in

I'll be a breathe of fresh air until I stop breathing, breathing

This is the outro to the beginning

In other words, I'm starting from the finish

I′m finished

How far do you wanna take this?

As soon as you said that the first word that came to my mind was global, worldwide

No bullshit, is it an album, mixtape, EP?

It′s a playlist

There's powers in self-belief right?

Everything starts in the mind. Anything you imagine and you see has gotta be created twice

It sounds like you come from a big family, how does that influence your music?

I′d say it influences it a lot man because my old man passed away. God rest his soul. I'm Avelino by surnames

Oh really?

Yeah, yeah, our new show′s the household name, we're worldwide

Are you gonna succeed?

Yeah, yeah, no choice
