My Time My Hour My Glow

[Intro]
Yeah
Kashi
Look…
[Verse 1]
It wasn’t easy, I came from below
Stuck in the ceilings of places that never would show
Any faith in a kid with a spiral of notes
Writing in margins, turning my pain into quotes
Hand-me-down jacket, the zip wouldn’t close
Rain in my shoes, but I still had to go
Walked through the doubt, through the “told you so”
Heart on my sleeve and my sleeve had holes
Everybody talking like they really know my road
They ain’t see the nights when I broke that code
When I bent but I never went broke in my soul
Kept one flame in the wind, that’s gold
[Chorus]
It wasn’t easy coming from below
But now that I’m on the top I see who’s low
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow (yeah)
All that shade you threw can’t block this shine
Had to lose my place just to find this mind
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow
This my life, my script, my show
[Verse 2]
Way back then they were laughing at the plan
Now the same hands wanna dap up the man (really?)
Funny how the “nah” turn to “always knew”
Same ones never showed when the rent came due
I remember ten missed calls from the bank
Card getting declined at the corner store, blank
But I still bought pens, not a drink, stayed straight
Bet my last on a dream they would all underrate
Now I’m looking down, not to clown, just to learn
Who was in the mud with me, covered in the dirt
Who was in the crowd when the sound still hurt
Who believed in a verse when the world said “swerve”
If you wasn’t there for the climb, stay off my rope
I ain’t pulling dead weight when I’m this close
Up here breathing what they said I’d choke
Got a pocket full of prayers and a heart full of quotes
[Chorus]
It wasn’t easy coming from below
But now that I’m on the top I see who’s low
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow (my glow)
All that shade you threw can’t block this shine
Had to lose my place just to find this mind
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow
This my life, my script, my show (Kashi)
[Bridge]
Tell ’em line up, line up, line up (hey!)
Watch me rise up, rise up, rise up
If you never had faith, don’t try love
I was down in that dirt, now I’m high up
From the floor to the sky, that’s a long road
Turn the scars to a map, that’s a strong code
Every “no” that I got made the song grow
Now it’s my time, my hour, my day, my glow
[Chorus]
It wasn’t easy coming from below
But now that I’m on the top I see who’s low
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow (yeah)
All that shade you threw can’t block this shine
Had to lose my place just to find this mind
This my time, my hour, my day, my glow
This my life, my script, my show (Kashi)

rap, Silky, midtempo rap track with warm Rhodes chords, round sub bass, and crisp, behind-the-beat drums; male vocals glide between laid-back flex and sharp double-time pockets. Hook opens wide with airy harmonies and filtered ad-libs, verses stay intimate with subtle vinyl crackle and ear-candy delays. Final chorus lifts with extra backing stacks and a brighter piano to seal the victory vibe., smooth, low
