Lyrics:
Back at the tour bus
After Hours
It's out!
Thank you so much for all your support
Still grindin'
My crystal ball, right?
Listen...

Small town livin', chillin'
Actin' like I'm cool
While I'm one strappin', backpackin'
Probably actin' like a fool
See, I'm walkin' up to my VDubs
I'm rollin' up to school
I'm feelin' like O'Doyle, bitch, I rule
See, I grew up on a one way
Only knowin' one way
Thinkin' I could do it like a subway
Underground sound
Passion, and now I'm smashin'
These bitches who make their livin'
On the runway, fashion
Me with a mic now
Might flash a free
I might write down
Shit, is this my life now?

My crystal ball
Never show me what life was like
My crystal ball
Never show me a life so bright
Yeah, you show me what to do
You show me how it is
But I don't need you
To show me how to live
My crystal ball, yeah
My crystal ball
My crystal ball

Aye
Cuttin' school, playin' Hook
Now they call me Peter Pan
See, I'm never growin' up
Look, I don't need a plan
'Cause they never wrote a book
On how to be the man
Worst case, I'll be down by the river
Chillin' in my van
I'm in the back of the class
With a backwards hat
Tryna concentrate on these pages
And it's usually map
Where I'm writtin' raps
Thinkin' bright lights and these stages
Dreamin' all along
I might get my songs
To go and drop at radio stations
I might have failed a class
But I'm cool with that
You can't top this education, yeah

My crystal ball
Never show me what life was like
My crystal ball
Never show me a life so bright
Yeah, you show me what to do
You show me how it is
But I don't need you
To show me how to live
My crystal ball, yeah
My crystal ball

Went to live the dream, I'm fallin'
Rushin' to the scene, stallin'
Shot callin'
Now you see I'm all in, man
I must have stacked the deck
'Cause, bitch, you straight up crystal ballin'
I was freestylin' so old school
While I was on the mic
In the back room
With low ceilings, on proTools
That's off the top
With no head room
Started out on a Tuesday
So hot we couldn't stop it
Turn my daydreams into day times
Now I'm feelin' like a prophet, uh

My crystal ball
Never show me what life was like
My crystal ball
Never show me a life so bright
Yeah, you show me what to do
You show me how it is
But I don't need you
To show me how to live
My crystal ball, yeah
My crystal ball, aye
My crystal ball

Uhhh...
