Zylvow - Suburban Fever Dreams Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, stuck between two worlds
Ain't nobody understand what it's like
Living in this f*cking paradox, man
Let me tell you something...

[Verse 1]
Middle class kid with a rap dream
They laugh when I spit, call me wannabe
But these streets of Mariehamn shaped me
Even if my bed was too comfy, lately
Been questioning where I belong
Mom's cooking dinner while I write these songs
In my bedroom, feeling like a fraud
Trying to prove myself, but shit's getting hard
Youth center flows, that's where it started
Spitting bars while my peers just departed
They say "stick to your lane, you ain't living it"
But authenticity's what I'm giving it

[Chorus]
Caught between the burbs and the trap
Everyone saying my life's too wrapped
In comfort to be dropping raps
But f*ck what they think, I'm breaking that
Yeah, I'm breaking that
These chains of perception, I'm shaking that
These chains of perception, I'm breaking that

[Verse 2]
Standing on corners I know ain't hood
But every block got a story, understood?
Private school education, that's my curse
Making my struggle sound even worse
But pain ain't measured in dollar signs
My battles internal, check my mind
Fighting demons in designer clothes
While they judge me from head to toes
Suburban warrior, yeah, that's me
Trapped between who I am and who they want me to be
Every day's a war to prove I'm real
When both sides think my truth's a steal

[Chorus]
Caught between the burbs and the trap
Everyone saying my life's too wrapped
In comfort to be dropping raps
But f*ck what they think, I'm breaking that
Yeah, I'm breaking that
These chains of perception, I'm shaking that
These chains of perception, I'm breaking that

[Verse 3]
Maritime samples in my beats
Mixing heritage with these concrete streets
They say I'm fake, but I'm just me
Navigating through this identity
Youth center to the studio
Building bridges where they say I can't go
Maybe I ain't from the bottom floor
But my struggle's real, and that's what's raw
So judge me by my bars, not my past
'Cause every word I spit is built to last
This ain't about where I'm from
It's about where I'm going, and I ain't done

[Outro]
Yeah, this is me
Raw and real, take it or leave it
Suburban kid with a dream
Making my own lane, believe it
F*ck your authenticity test
I'm writing my own story, blessed
