[Intro]
Tin tin tin, that sound still haunts me
First grade memories, now they taunt me
Lucas, mi hermano, where did we go wrong?
Now you're too fancy for my kind of song
[Verse 1]
Remember that xylophone we used to play?
Two kids without a care, day after day
Now you're acting like you're better than me
'Cause I'm making beats that set my people free
You called my music ghetto, called it trash
While sipping wine and counting daddy's cash
But every hit I make, every stage I own
Is sweeter than that f*cking xylophone
[Chorus]
(Tin tin tin) Now the sound is different
Breaking down the walls you built between us
(Tin tin tin) Made it into something
That you'll never understand, but they feel it
You can't stop this rhythm, can't contain this flow
This is where I belong, this is how I grow
(Tin tin tin) Now who's really winning?
While you judge from up high, we keep living
[Verse 2]
First grade friends turned strangers overnight
'Cause my music wasn't "cultured" enough, right?
But these streets raised me, taught me who I am
While you were learning how to be a proper man
Every beat I drop, every flow I spit
Makes that xylophone sound like a hard-ass hit
You might have money, but you lost your soul
While I turned our past into pure gold
[Bridge]
(Whispered) "That's not real music"
Watch me turn it into magic
Your words fuel my fire
Now the whole world's dancing
[Chorus]
(Tin tin tin) Now the sound is different
Breaking down the walls you built between us
(Tin tin tin) Made it into something
That you'll never understand, but they feel it
You can't stop this rhythm, can't contain this flow
This is where I belong, this is how I grow
(Tin tin tin) Now who's really winning?
While you judge from up high, we keep living
[Outro]
Tin tin tin, that sound made me stronger
Your rejection pushed me even further
Now my music echoes through the streets
While you're still playing with that xylophone, sweet dreams
