Adonis Reaper - Adolescence (feat. Savvy Drew) Lyrics

Look, this shit sounds like the early mornings back in high school
Blowing trees by the station, four blunts in rotation
Rapping and money conversations, kicking game, exchanging information
Way before we had to stress about an occupation, this was really our foundation

Blowing trees for some mind elevation, started writing raps in class
Hating ass niggas said I wouldn't last, used that shit as motivation
Dropped my first tape, confirmed classic, built a reputation
Few were sleeping on it but I knew I just had to have patience

Trust in the process, ahead of my time, they weren't accustomed with the concepts
They were on that money, hoes, and nonsense so I had to dumb it down, sacrifice my sound
Just for validation, an act of desperation, till I came across the real niggas, ill niggas
My nigga Kgosi, he was konscious on that woke shit

Eric put me on a him, heard that nigga spit a 16
It was soulful like a hymn, weeks later on the scene
Him and Snowy spitting after school freestyles, that's what Neo called himself at the time
Before he grew, it was rocky, caught fire, then he turned to Savvy Drew

Fast forward, now we're running in the same crew, yeah
Birds of the same feather, flock together
Friendly competition, but it made us better, us beef? never
Really we're just locked in forever
Irrespective of the best-seller, narrator

Who's style greater, we're all just creatives
F*ck what that debate is
The big five, Konscious, Ace, Drew SK and me, the rap God, Reaper

This for my niggas that i knew, once upon a time
When we used to run in the same crew
For the ones I knew, way before I blew
That I outgrew, I still got love for you, Wish you all the best, in the life, that
You pursue
Life is hard, but I hope you make it through
This for my people, tell them hold on like Erykah Badu
Never let them tell you what you can and can't do

Pray for me, I'll pray for you, this one's for the niggas that I knew
Yeah
Yo Drew, show them how we do it on the east side man
Kick a lil something for them you know, that real shit

It's too much quantity, not enough quality man
Only a few of us come from that same clod, straight out of VHS nigga

Check, let me put these flows on test, open the tap and the hoes is wet
Rap was the only flows I had, 10 out of 10 that the hoes gon' check

That boy pen got no defects, run that shit like he elect
Run that shit like he on track, Run that shit, let me run it back
Chillin' out with conish, back in pozzi, he would hold it down
Clicking up with Kgosi, that's the brodie, he's in Jozi now

Thinking bout Lloydy, what a story, gotta make him proud
Meanwhile in Pitori, it be scorching, cos Lu-Weezy fire
I'm calling fortune, told me caution, bro this life is wild
And Peter crossing all the oceans on the other side

And shoutout Orit but that shit you posted, f*ckin' wild
And shoutout Fila, shoutout all my niggas, hope you fly

This for my niggas that I knew, once upon a time
When we used to run in the same crew, for the ones I knew

Way before I blew, that I outgrew
I still got love for you, wish you all the best
In the life that you pursue, Life is hard but I hope you make it through
This for my people, tell them hold on like Erykah Badu
Never let them tell you what you can and can't do
Pray for me, I'll pray for you, this one's for the niggas that I knew
