Ionika - PAST LIFE lyrics

Artist: Ionika

album: ROYALTY


Came from bullied Chinese, now I'm high-key (Chink boy)
Rapping with my twin, MATCHA, call that Siamese, uh (Hell yeah)
I was used to being the silent kid on the side street
Now I mob deep with my watch piece
You can't stop me 'cause I'm a wild beast, uh
Let's take it back to where it first started (Day one)
Valley View, I was unguarded
Kids were like, "This new one's retarded" (Who is this kid)
That shit was heartless, I was disregarded
Got bumped around in the hallways
Got laughed at by my classmates (Hahaha)
Felt so much pain, it kept me awake
Man, I can't erase the middle school days (Nope)
Almost every kid told me that my music sucked (Yo, you suck)
They thought that I was so soft that I'd give a fuck (Sike)
But y'all are sitting ducks, I'm a flying dove (True)
I might be a bum, but at least I'm doing what I love
Got no more pain, don't need the fame
Owning my name, I'm a little insane (Hahaha)
Y'all in the shallow, I'm deep in the game
Sharpened my arrow, I'm ready to aim (Uh)
Blast off, went from passenger to cockpit (Psssh)
Like Bruce Lee, every beat is like a dropkick (Hwah)
Was a lost kid, had my life on pause quick
Now I'm in college, thoughts run like a faucet
Yeah I rap a little fast (Uh)
I'm the best out of my class (Aye)
Kids said that I couldn't rap
But bitch, that's tucked inside the past, what (Aye)
Everybody wanna judge you on your past life (Yuh)
They wanna tell the whole world about your bad times (Uh)
They wanna make you see their world through a glass eye (Nah)
But you can find my past life with a black light (Just look close)
Everybody wanna judge you on your past life (Uh)
They wanna tell the whole world about your bad times (Everyone)
They wanna make you see their world through a glass eye (Nah)
But you can find my past life with a black light, uh
Took at look at my past, and I had to chastise (Fuck is he doin'?)
Thought I was keeping it hunnid when I was half price (Fuck is he sayin'?)
I thought that I could lack a personality if I rap nice
Now I wanna fix it, say I'm acting different
And they all start tripping like it's black ice, uh (Haha)
Had to be humbled
I looked at myself and thought I was untouchable (What?)
I was a loud mouth
Had to lower it down by a couple of decibels (Shhh)
Thought I was thriving
But then I looked back, and my field was like dust bowls
I was deflated
When I was out thinking I'm popping like pustules
I laughed and cried and grew a rhino's horn
It's the price I'm paying from my spinal cord
Learned my lesson, now I don't mourn at all
'Cause you ain't even seen my final form
It's a redact, it's a retcon
Not the type to get conned
Leave with all my debts gone
Can't be getting egged on
I'm still changing, haven't made it, still complaining (Yeah)
I'm so tired of telling lies and getting faded (Oh, oh)
I'm still trying, that's what I want them to know (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Leave behind the past if it won't let you grow
I thought I could leave it all behind
But it's a past that I defined, yeah
I thought I could leave it all behind
But it's a path I had to find, aye
I thought I could leave it all behind, nah
But it's a past that I defined, yeah
I thought I could leave it all behind, nah
But it's a path I had to find, woo
Everybody wanna judge you on your past life (Yuh)
They wanna tell the whole world about your bad times (Uh)
They wanna make you see their world through a glass eye (Nah)
But you can find my past life with a black light, uh (Just look close)
Everybody wanna judge you on your past life
They wanna tell the whole world about your bad times
They wanna make you see their world through a glass eye
But you can find my past life with a black light
