Gr8ness Intro - Avelino

Tell me about the new project

The new project is just me like, doing what I do

Like I said, expressing myself

A body of work that perfectly explains where I am today, as an artist and as a

person

You know, I think I’m not really the big social media guy or the too outspoken

publicly

You know what I mean, I’m more like behind the scenes, family based my people

know, you know, know the true me on a personal level for example

But I feel like the music and conversations like this, situations like this are

a way I can really let people in to my psyche and who I am as a person so I’m

really excited to just share you know, Avelino today

Just tryna make the best music that I could possibly make right now

So you can feel the progress, hear the progress, travel along with me

Came a long way

Yo, I swear this is the perfect tempo

The perfect speed, the perfect let go

My release, I’m the sound of the new retro

That’s classic, I got sick of class now I’m back bitch

At last, now where’s the atlas?

Yeah, 'cause it’s the take over

Legend has it change’s coming, it’s the change over

'Cause the mandem from the ends are bringing Drake over

Can’t believe what I’m seeing it’s like a make over

Wow, your local rapper’s global now

Touring’s like karma, what goes around comes around

Poor kids with sparklers, that’s what I’ve grown around

It’s VIP with my olders 'cause I’m older now

There’s vodka running through my veins, Verset

I don’t chase, I let her retrace her steps

Got, girls there to keep me in check, I get the checks

And you can check I ain’t got a main verse yet nah

'Cause ain’t nobody’s story my story

I’ve looked up to losers, now I glorify glory

My niggas got a Jesus piece and a piece of Jesus

He would die for me but I told him stay alive for me

Mum I had to hustle, Mum I had to grind for me

Overtime’s over, no more day and night for me

I’ma change the game the game needs change

We came from the ground up and now they’re booking flights for me

I’m a rap star now, dope lines I’m a trapstar now

So much money all this cash I can’t count it

Keeping it 100 got me thousands

Starting from the bottom, being homeless got me houses

Yeah, take time

If it means something to you then you' make time

I’m playing snakes and ladders where the snakes climb

But success is fine wine I heard it through the grapevine

Yeah, then Wretch phoned me and told me about it

Every time I got AP I told Rollie about it

I don’t watch that anymore, I’m more holy about it

I attract crowds and at first I felt lonely about it

Don’t let the devil in that’s what momma said

Knock, knock who’s there cah my momma’s scared

Life often ends too soon when you’re from the ends

But when they tell you that it’s over man it’s not the end

Yeah, man I learnt so much

Cross bridges man, I ain’t ever burnt so much

When the tables turned, never got turnt so much

Show money gang, I ain’t never been worth so much yeah
