[Intro]
Man, the other day, I was talking to a guy
And I asked him how he was doin', he looked at me and said
"Brandon, I'm doin' better than I deserve"
Which really got me thinking about those moments in my life, that if anything would've went different, then everything would've been
Yeah, man, just a product of grace
Homeboy, I'm just a product of grace
[Verse 1]
He walked in, ready to go
And he was wearin' a red shirt that said, "Echo"
My [?] yellin' and screamin' throughout the buildin'
My heart started racin', I'll never forgеt the feelin'
Yeah, and I thought that he was a villain
I thought that hе wa'n't chillin'
So I hid behind that counter, kneelin' and what if he starts swingin'?
And what if stuff start blingin' and what if I'm still kneelin' behind this counter, bruh?
Nah, man, I got right up, as I heard the cashier call 9-1-1
And I ran straight to the back, and I went right through the door
And I went up to desk, into the second drawer
Because I knew it was there, knew it was loaded
My heart beat like a snare, with my adrenaline bloated
And I grabbed that gun because I knew I could tote it
And I ran back to the front with my common sense, he wrote it
He wrote it, back to the front and I looked outside
And I saw he and my guy, standin' eye to eye
Time stood still, gun in my pocket, the situation diffused
And I didn't even cock it
But I was twelve years old, twelve years old
This close to my front door bein' made of holes
I mean, a slip of my finger would be my final frontier
And I'da never, ever, ever been here, yeah
Fast forward down the road, two years later
Everybody baggy jeans had knees and skaters
[?] T Swift made mill's on haters
And I'm sittin' in the back with procrastinators
Every hoop dream went through the floor of the [?]
My goal was popularity with no agitator
And I'm learnin' how to cuss and fight
'cause I'm a grade A top-line imitator
So I grab on whatever is near
I took fourteen suspensions the next three years
I mean, anything to get the praise and claim of my peers
But truth be told, I'm askin' up my fears
Fears of approval, rejection removal
Detection [?] connection like a direction
And I was fakin' and frontin' and I gave up on perfection
And I denied reality so I can live in my reflection
But that mirror goes on and on
A year later, flipped the switch, turned on my charm
I said, "Don't ring the alarm", you don't mean no harm
Just tryna get that [?] up your arm
And for high school, we was like a poster
Athlete and cheerleader had an [?] like we was supposed to
But that's almost all that mattered to me
A preconceived notion of what I supposed to be
Ron Burgundy said it best, that escalated quickly
Too young to be in love, my wa'n't even prickly
But one night I leaned in to kiss her
Made my way a little closer just so she could hear me whisper
How 'bout one more step?
Knowin' full well it'll be something we regret
And I could never prepare for what happened next
As my cold sweat heart was beatin' out my chest
And as the word, "No", ringed through both my ears
All the sudden things seemed to be much more clear
It felt like my heart and my brain exploded
Every emotion I had ever felt was seemingly unloaded
But I, played it cool, costumes, swipe it under push brooms
Switching gears, vroom vroom, [?] news room
