Gavin's Story Lyrics

Close your eyes and I'm gon' tell you the story of a little boy

He was a little Indian, didn't wanna be no cowboy

He lived with his mama till he was at the age of four

After that the court didn't wanna see him get beat up no more

He had two brothers, hailing from a different father

This was not really a problem, we all went to our one grandma

Lived together and in peace just like a family

But it was our favorite to just go right down the street

See our grandpa and he oversaw the young men that we be

He made me, not the streets. He's why I start making beats

He grew up and he went to Europe for a summer vacation

When he's nine he didn't expect to see a whole brand new nation

Well it was to him, not like he ever looked at a globe before

After this he really started feeling when he was home alone

Dropped in school, nothing to do, feeling sad and getting mad

Emotions flow and he doesn't know how to handle that

Puberty comes, he's a few years older, shit goes down he don't wanna be sober

Grandpa passed, his life feels over

Looks only like a three clover

Two years later, the boy's a creator, he's been listening a lot

Tuning in and learning it, he's putting his name in a pot

A pot of gold for his bros, making his grandparents proud of those

Those songs he made for them, those paths he paved for them, songs sang for them

He's making his mixtapes for the world to hear, he wants A-tier

He said he's taking this world over and giving it a brand new order

Making a new style and dominating this new floor

Who was that boy, he was me, he told you to bow on your knees
