Pneuma

Time flies fast and sometimes slow
It all depends on how you feel in the moment
Days zoom by when you're feeling good
And they seem endless when there's a storm

Feels like yesterday when I was a kid growing up
Walking to school with my shirt tucked in
Shoes, belt, and hair all in check
In short, just a kid with some sense

I never had strength or good reflexes
But my imagination took me far
Always picked last for the teams
Now I have my own with Kabuby and Kiko

There are no underrated artists
If they recognize the value of what they've given
So I want to give a shoutout
To those who’ve been involved in all my projects

I’m only 30% into the game
They clipped my wings just as I was taking flight
And life won’t be enough to get over this grief
All I can do is get it right to reach the sky

I was lucky to have some great friends
And a mom who supported me, like Miss Donda
A generation I marked with all my hits
And the honor that the legends I admire always mention me

I started to think there are things not meant for me
Because I got tired of trying, got frustrated, and gave up
I even thought about quitting, but thanks to you I understood
That without music and rap, I could never live

I went from freestyle wheels to making songs
From subway cars to flying in planes
Half my life without taking vacations
If you don’t know my story, don’t even mention me

'Cause I’m not like the rappers you listen to
I’m Akapellah, from Turmero, the son is a listener
I wasn’t rich, but I never had fake Jordans
And since I was a kid, I matched my jersey with my hoodie

I’m tattooed, but I’m not a gangbanger
I’m driven, but I don’t do it for the money
It was just good luck, the haters said
What will they say now that the more I drop, the more I thrive?

Philanthropist, entrepreneur, hip-hop artist
But first, a human and a sincere friend
Good father, good son, good brother, and good rapper
That’s all I am, even though I’m not who I want to be yet.
