Wala’s Wish
[Intro]
Twisting my view, see my location
ADD, bumming out in my classroom (bedroom)
I don't want my dreams to be fiction
Mthatha boy just wanna feel it on some real shit
Wanna feel it on my Momma
I wanna feel it on my Daddy
I wanna feel God in my body
Mind, flow and spirit (Mind, flow and spirit)
[Chorus]
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
ADD, one more year I believe
ADD, one more year I believe
[Refrain]
If I don't pass, I don't have it
Pass my paper, Teacher
On my momma
They don't know the stress
I'll tell you the rest
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about a nigga, we call him Wala
He skates with his board, a lot in the summer
Very honest. Met him in 2017
Found out later that we grew up in the same hometown
But we never met, and he left
That nigga put me on weed
He don't even know
We'll prolly get past that White Sand
That nigga lives for the thrill
With that life ain't that bad
[Chorus]
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
ADD, one more year I believe
ADD, one more year I believe
[Verse 2]
When I grew up, I was always anxious
Tough cause I was always "Big guy"
Surviving night swims knowing a nigga isn't athletic
I got stuck on a fence on the way back
Ripped my underwear to get off
Initiation, remembering names to surviving demon possessions
To survive is to survive the thrill
The thrill of life
[Chorus]
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
ADD, one more year I believe
ADD, one more year I believe
[Verse 3]
Went behind my parents' back
And started making music
Grades started dropping
Considered being a high school dropout, at once
I was out of my mind, out of control
Wala told me "Get serious"
It didn't help my case when I went on night swims
On multiple occasions
They caught us niggas on the cameras
I went cause Wala went
Shit turned me into a rebel 'fore I ever rapped
Took the yearbook photo and got kicked out of school
Mama gave me a call, while leaving that night
Skipping town, I wonder where she taking us all
I asked again and who would've known? (I)
I hit up Wala, I done lost my mind
Two bedroom apartments, gang shootings every weekend
In Cambridge, I was weakened
Wala helped me get back up again
[Chorus]
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
ADD, one more year I believe
ADD, one more year I believe
[Verse 4]
Loop around the sun, sitting on a desk
Wala with that tough love, he staying on my neck
He and I used to rap on cardboard boxes
Told me, I gotta be a star to make it out there
I don't see myself living life ordinary
Enjoy the months through to January
Wala, I hope you make it to where you wanna be in life
Hope God, keeps you in the light
[Chorus]
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
ADD, one more year I believe
ADD, one more year I believe
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
A nigga don't wanna wear bronx no more
ADD, one more year I believe
ADD, one more year I believe
[Verse 5]
I will never forget the day, when you let me ride shotgun in the Polo
Record my fights, never intervened
Cause you know I beat my nigga up
Kick a nigga off a staircase
Just to give a nigga flight
Ima go 300 on a nigga
Ima go 300 on a nigga
I'd do it for my nigga, Wala
You were always there with me
When times got dark
Bringing that nigga up with me
When I go up (Uh, uh)
When I go up
Hungry for this shit
I know we gon' win
Hungry for this shit
I know we gon' win
Been starving for this shit
Been starving for this shit
Been starving for this shit
Been starving for this shit
It all started with you, Wala
