Prompt / Lyrics
[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)

Hook opens wide with airy harmonies and filtered ad-libs, verses stay intimate with subtle vinyl crackle and ear-candy delays.
