Lyrics

You gon shine either way and find your place now Fuck what they say tryna make you doubt Hang your head in shame but we'll make crowns The weight I can carry and I won't fall All of the stereotypes I thought I was the perfect match Admit my wish to break em why I started writing raps Flew 2000 miles to college way of mom and dad The identity i pushed away I didn't even have Native tongues and expressions felt foreign as ever Never seen so many brothers sisters sticking together SoCal a different climate, not just talking bout weather Tryna act like I was them but I wasn't that clever Now, started to value they approval Needed to glow up chasing others nothing new though Motives too complex need to take a step back Emotions start to harden Cause I felt from my people so detached The age old question of I don't know who I am At 18 desperate to meet every demand The less I idolize others more I understand The less I compromise, cover up more I advance You gon shine either way and find your place now Fuck what they say tryna make you doubt Hang your head in shame but we'll make crowns The weight I can carry and I won't fall down Now that I'm out in California Now that I'm out in California Hope that I can take a while Met some homies from the 626 Cousins and they grandparents who they grew up with Under one roof or close enough to always visit More drama, loss to face but seems like it would be a privilege Never saw my mother stand next to hers till I was grown Helped me visualize her sacrifice to leave alone Never met my dad's side, most passed 'fore I was born Family not a perfect union but the house felt like a home You went to bat for the American dream Tell me did it hold up or fall apart at the seams Hope for my success as much as you finding more peace Building from the ground up never happened with ease Still was fruit in a bowl every night Holidays rather quiet but the gifts was the funds and advice Sent your sons out to cali hope they learn how to fly Let the wind carry me but still I know when to fight You gon shine either way and find your place now Fuck what they say tryna make you doubt Hang your head in shame but we'll make crowns The weight I can carry and I won't fall down Now that I'm out in California Now that I'm out in California Hope that I can take a while Hope that I can take a while Hope that I can take a while Too much of the same could get toxic quick But I keep my circle open never box it in Moved to a new state to claim a new state of mind Idealized pictures still clear I'll tell you why Said environment is limiting she wants to escape it I'm on the flip side, I arrive to embrace it Both stepping out of comfort so we walk the same pavement Wouldn't speak to you today if I'd stuck by expectations Yeah, Californiasian And no matter where you from Let your truth and way you've changed become your statement Hope that I can take a while Hope that I can take a while Hope that I can take a while Hope that I can take a while
