Fountain of Youth Lyrics

Just turned nine, bout to catch a flight to Paris

One the last trips that I'll take with my parents

Cause in about year, their relationship perished

We gone hit the Eiffel then we touring though the Louvre

And I'm starstruck by the women scene too

Pretty brown girls with Parisian attitudes

Grateful for the trip

Got to change my latitude

Told myself I'm coming back

Bagging baddies over baguettes

Seen this one bad girl, man I'll never forget

Next stop Barcelona, get Paella from the shop on the corner

Walking through the city, I was stunned by the views

Don't remember much, but I know we on a cruise

Just the start of week two

We catch a flight home, learned about my brother and it felt like breaking news

Family dynamic got a couple loose screws

But I ain't really care, I was worried bout shoes

Kick it with some new kids, the flyest in the school

Them boys stayed in trouble but I wanna be cool

Next day detention from throwing all our food

Food fight, food war

Parents ask why, I just tell them I was bored

Worried bout punishment

They ain't even punish me

Worried bout they own stress

Four years later, story progress

Science class talking bout a Punnett square

Nigga tried my dawg, now there's smoke in the air

Said look bro, we can fade anytime, anywhere

Already got suspended for knocking niggas out

Put his hands on my dawg, I'll knock the teeth out his mouth

Teacher looking scared, ain't know what the fuck to say

But for me and my niggas it's another normal day

Fast forward six months and we in the eighth grade

First relationship end, I might've been played

But I don't know and I don't really care

(I don't)

My dad had another kid, sibling count just hit three

Life getting hard and I'm swimming up shit's creek

Nigga heart cold, all that love shit can miss me

Kick it with my niggas, three a.m., we in the streets

We all got anger issues, trying to make a bitch bleed

Half a year later, nigga summer sixteen

Niggas wake up eight a.m. and we hit the beach

We dreaming about the world while we chasing all these girls

High school is on my mind while old girl is on my nerves

Two years later, I'm that nigga, I'm that nigga

I'm the living definition of a fucking perfect picture

Athletic, good grades and I'm cool with all my teachers

Homecoming prince, man I couldn't be any bigger

But goddamn, still succumbing to the sickness

Think I'm bout to die, shit a terminal illness

Wasting time, on my Faiyaz

A couple things changed, now I'm moving fucking different

A nigga started skipping, guess where I'm at

The beach bitch

Same time I started rapping

Patrick making all my beats bitch

Trying to transfer out from Bogie but I couldn't fucking team switch

COVID hit the scene and it couldn't be any better

Trapped up in my room, Naruto, good weed and suicide letters

Not one's that I'm writing, but one's I'm reflecting

Got sent to South Florida, just for my protection

It wasn't my choice but I didn't wanna argue

Couldn't stay up in the crib, couldn't stay in Largo

Who knew about the trip that I'm bout to go embark on

Nigga getting paid, bank account on Wells Fargo

My niggas stayed at home so we up running Warzone

Scholarships hitting, couldn't tell I'm bout to lose them

Depression kick in so I'm barely doing music

Trying to get it off the muscle, didn't account for all the struggle

Cause a nigga working hard, but life working harder

So a nigga feeling far gone

Same semester met Blair, won't be cool til seven months later

Never thought she would change my life, nigga only used to struggle, strife

Alchemist for when I write

Gold up in my pen and the words that I jot

Feeling like an author way a night change the plot

Grateful for the growth, yeah the plant out the pot

Meant the cat out the box

Transmuted all my problems

Now I'm thankful for the time on the clock

I'm an alchemist

Took a journey just to find love in the same spot
