21 Lyrics by KYWN

metamorphosis

2023

[Verse]
I'm 21, and I still haven't had my first drink
Some people ask me if I ever will, well, let me think
Matter fact, let me get back to you in like a business day or three
I kid, but it never really has appealed to me
Although, sometimes I do wonder 'bout how I might be
About the actions of a side of me I've never seen
A side that I, honestly, will prolly never meet
I've grown too used to being known as the Sober King
And plus, I take pridе in the fact that I don't need a thing to have a good time
Just somе music and my friends, and you know Imma slide
I know it might be seen as dull, but that's quite alright
You never gotta worry 'bout me being okay to drive
Whole team out of it, it's cool, I'll give 'em all a ride
So, that they get home safe
I mean, I trust them, but you never know, this life is no game
Ain't no checkpoints, so you can't reload from where you last saved
And I don’t mention all of this for you to say I'm not brave
Quite the opposite, I'm just smart with the risks that I take
At least, more than I was
I've really blossomed from being an insecure little bud
My confidence is at an all-time high
I'm at a point where you could never say I'm not that guy
'Cause, pal, I've spread my wings, and now I'm really starting to fly
I used to never about how I was feeling inside, but now I'm feeling alive
Uh, now I'm feeling alive
I'm really feeling alive
Feels so nice, I just had to repeat it twice
Took 21 years, but I'm finally living life
The way I choose without a single compromise
My dreams are really unfolding before my eyes
It's a beautiful moment, can't even lie
To make it better, my friends and family are right by my side
And I know they so proud of me, makes me wanna start crying
Had some moments of weakness that I am now redefining
I was moving unfocused, but now my goals in alignment
Just had to study my purpose to understand my assignment
Clarity came when I needed it most, that's divine timing
I think this calls for a toast, and everybody's invited
A toast for what's next because the future's exciting
My light is shining so bright, and it's providing me guidance
Used to fear being myself, but now I wouldn't dare hide it
Finally welcoming change after years tryna fight it
Looking back on it all, gotta say I'm delighted
'Cause I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't expand my horizons
And I wouldn't be where I am if I hadn't kept trying
Struggled lighting the match, but now the fire's ignited
Oh, yes, the fire's ignited

[Outro]
Aw, man
This next phase is really gonna be something
Something special, y'know
Thanks for staying tuned, sticking with me
Just getting started
