lirik lagu evolving eric - evolution
born in northridge, california
40 minutes from the beach
went to the school tarzana elementary
walking to class taking the bridge over the street
the one with the charlie brown theme
braids in my hair whole world in front of me
soon i went to my mom said please could i live east
i wanted a chance to live with daddy
i still remember the small frown she had gave me
she wasn’t selfish she let me go
i never understood the weight of some of the decision she made back then til i was grown
& even still there’s a lot i don’t know
but when i landed my world got colder
something about living in snow makes you grow older
faster but makes you stronger than a boulder
learning that in life there isn’t much you can control, sure
i had an extended family livin with pops
didn’t see him much he was always workin a lot
so i stayed with who he was seeing at the time
a lot to process back then i wasn’t older than 9
started in new jersey then went to connecticut
living with my sister erica
she was a protective kid
never let n0body bully me
cause i was sensitive
sometimes she was stern
but handled me like i was delicate
rest her soul
now she’s a spirit
either that or she’s in another life livin
either way i’ll never forget her impact
she care’d for me like n0body
how could i forget that?
two years later i missed moms
heard she had been living out in chicag~o
so i flown a long way for the stop
went just to visit then i never came back
living in south side 6 months
the most character building place
that i’ve gone
a bit dangerous walking to school
but i showed up
on the walk home once
a thug offered me 5 bucks
if i agree’d to sell drugs
i was smart then so there i stood glared in his eyes then i said look
i knew i couldn’t so i told him i’m good
minding your business is how you survive in the hood
right around december started missing california
visited my aunty in the valley
felt the euphoria
instantly remembered that cali’s the life for us
to live & die in la
somebody should’ve told ya
living with my aunty
uncle, cousin milan
i said cousin but that’s really my brother my dawg
even if sometimes we didn’t get along
we still got mutual respect
especially now that we grown
lived in the valley
went to santa clarita not after long
that was the place that i made my songs
thought was the freshest
when i was a freshman
tryna model my life like i was the fresh prince
rapping in every hallways i stepped in
performing at every dance that would let me spit
although first i got the laughs when i started
never stopped me from expressing myself as an artist
anyone around me could tell that i was starving
i wanted this so bad i even though my own concerts
i had my friends make the tickets
tell everybody i know that would like to pay a visit
respect anybody who came just to listen
they could’ve gave they money to anyone who be rippen
but after high school no college for me
a college degree wasn’t a part of my story
i went to the studio with my grant money
i made some terrible songs but the experience was lovely
mom was mad when she seen
i failed all my college classes cause i was lying
said i’d go to school
when really i’d be
somewhere in a session tryna let my rhymes speak
i ain’t have much success tho
she said u can do music
but gotta help with the bills so
she said choose
i chose but i froze
cause i knew how this was about to go
straight to paying bills
at 18 years old
i worked many jobs where i was staying like bro
six flags , sky high , tilly’s, even ups
i was just tryna make it
i was doing my best
year later met a producer who was fresh
made a sick album
but success still ain’t catch
even on tour with macklemore & kesha
back in 2018
history’s the rest
hence my passionate about the music yet
i know there is no over night success
i swear i’ve faced too many hardships
lost too many friends
a cycle that just never end
after tour lost it
moved to vegas
i’d say things never been the same since
vegas was intense
i was getting into mess
party thru the night
sleeping with whoever then
2019
finally back to cali
the most beautiful place i would say that i’ve seen
it’s not perfect but it’s home i believe
at least my avatars home not a universal thing
i’m here now i may not always be
i’m a different human now i’m into spirituality
not the new age pseudo meditating
a long journey that involves getting rid of density
i’m not the same kid who i referred to at the beginning of this
that’s a realization that forever will hit
so i guess i gotta keep maturing
then growing into the man i want to be will be a sure thing
