Lyrics
how this shit ain’t obvious to you i’m not even 21 my music be the snobbiest somehow i’m still gonna get it done and i don’t do this for the audience hold me down i already won i know i’m dope as fuck i guess i’m glowing up

i blow out my chakras
i don’t need no doctor
i be sipping straight black whipping out the honda i’m spitting this shit too fast i can’t keep a saunter i’m gonna give away excess cash, greed will fucking haunt you

a bad bitch with the messy hair
yeah i’ve been on my own shit and I never cared so done with the good for nothing the “why so self assured? you’re bluffing.”

it’s all personal
if i fuck with your shit you better take it personal i’m murdering any beat you send me cos i’m versatile but if i don’t like your shit then you won’t get a verse at all i came to vibe, bet he just wanted to dap me up and i don’t fuck around boy i’m leaving that beat deceased put it underground i’m just putting in elbow grease taking back the crown i’m just making a masterpiece from my daddy’s house

how this shit ain’t obvious to you i’m not even 21 my music be the snobbiest somehow i’m still gonna get it done and i don’t do this for the audience hold me down i already won i know i’m dope as fuck i guess i’m glowing up

how this shit ain’t obvious to you i’m not even 21 my music be the snobbiest somehow i’m still gonna get it done and i don’t do this for the audience hold me down i already won i know i’m dope as fuck i guess I'm-

hit me double bound
i still be the one
this shit going south
i still see the sun
in the here and now
i ain’t gonna run
to a savior or a harbor or a haven

dope shit’s never on purpose
tryna keep it controlled is so worthless still in my prime but it’s like i aint been before cos i’m never on time gotta let that shit find me

give me a moment
i’m dizzy off the sound cos i mix it potent so then I break it down into its components you he do it for the crowd? that’s bad omen omen

how this shit ain’t obvious to me not even 21 the music be the snobbiest somehow i’m still gon get it done and i don’t do this for the audience hold me down i already won i know i’m dope as fuck i guess i’m glowing up

truth is getting obvious to me not even 21 the music be the snobbiest somehow i’m still gon get it done and i don’t do this for the audience hold me down i already won i know i’m dope as fuck i guess I'm-

hands start to shake and i’m thinking rapidly i’m seeing the truth in my circle just like it’s alchemy don’t get in the booth till the beats are defying gravity ears been blessed with a curse to be the best on the earth

it’s non-duality the way I lose myself in the method if the strategy is solid I’ma beat it to death, i’m like a machine i’m digging out dopamine you’re never gonna find it keeping it quiet stay up all night and make the hardest shit you’ve ever seen

i don’t fold under pressure
yeah, whether manic love or depression
every body-mind shift i’m growing the vessel half these motherfuckers feeding off my essence yeah, brew too cold, they need a refresher yeah, i’m gon wield this art like a weapon cos i’ma seeing past all the bullshit pit me on the pulpit pick it out it’s only my perception….

now i decide, so use this shit as guide when making that fucking type beat and good luck finding anyone like me i got the whole scene weighing on my psyche cos i’m desperate for progression bring it closer to perfection every session when we linking?
pain poised when I make noise, cap get diminished i’ma too advanced for the game boy, i’ma need a minute

[longcat]

Still don't understand how he's riding right between the edge of overlapping noise-garbage and fresh melodic masterpiece and never disappoints. Freaking genius.

[tuv]

brakence is so quickly entering my top 5 artists of all time. so inspirational he’s so young

[Lukr]

every single fucking frame of video/audio is precisely calculated; this is genuinely next level.

[jackjohnson]

I’M TOO ADVANCED FOR THE GAMEBOY IMMA NEED A MINUTE

[CourtneySolsberry]

I cannot stop replaying 2:37 and on. It is truly something else. The guitar. The production. The voice in the background. His voice singing. The lyricism. This man is 20? I’m losing my mind.

[allroundgreatbloke]

brakence took the beats you imagine in your head after 3 strong black coffees and brought them to life

[hunterheflin]

this dude can go toe to toe with anyone in the game IMO. idk anyone who is more creative and inpsiring

[youngace]

Idk how he continues his streak of never missing, but he’s doing it

[katanaseppuku]

Here's the lyrics 4 yall
[Chorus]
How this shit ain't obvious to you? I'm not even twenty-one
My music be the snobbiest, somehow I'm still gon' get it done
And I ain't do this for the audience, hold me down, I already won
I know I'm dope as fuck, I guess I'm glowin' up

[Interlude]
(You are watching a master at work)
(Quiet on set, quiet on set)
(I'm using my imagination)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 1]
I blew out my chakras, I ain't need no doctor
I be sippin' straight black, whippin' out the Honda
I been spittin' this shit too fast, I can't keep a saunter
I'm gon' give away excess cash, greed'll fucking haunt you, yeah (Uh)
A bad bitch with the messy hair
Yeah, I've been on my own shit and I never cared
So done with the good for nothing
The, "Why so self-assurеd? You're bluffing"
It's all personal
If I fuck with your shit, you bettеr take it personal
I'm murderin' any beat you send me 'cause I'm versatile
But if I don't like your shit, then you won't get a verse at all
I came to vibe, but he just wanted to dap me up
And I don't fuck around
Boy, I'm leavin' that beat deceased, put it underground
Puttin' in elbow grease, takin' back the crown
I'm just makin' a masterpiece from my daddy' house (Chorus)

[Chorus]
How this shit ain't obvious to you? I'm not even twenty-one
My music be the snobbiest, somehow I'm still gon' get it done
And I ain't do this for the audience, hold me down, I already won
I know I'm dope as fuck, I guess I'm glowin' up
How this shit ain't obvious to you? I'm not even twenty-one
My music be the snobbiest, somehow I'm still gon' get it done
And I ain't do this for the audience, hold me down, I already won
I know I'm dope as fuck, I guess— (Don't stop)

[Verse 2]
Hit me double bound, I still be the one
This shit goin' South, I still see the sun
In the here and now, I ain't gonna run
To a savior or a harbor or a haven
Dope shit's never on purpose
Tryna keep it controlled, it's so worthless
Still in my prime but it's like I ain't been before
'Cause I'm never on time, gotta let that shit find me
Give me a moment
I'm dizzy off the sound 'cause I mix it potent
So then I'll break it down into its components
You do it for the crowd? That's a bad omen, omen (Oh)

[Chorus]
How this shit ain't obvious to you? I'm not even twenty-one
My music be the snobbiest, somehow I'm still gon' get it done
And I ain't do this for the audience, hold me down, I already won
I know I'm dope as fuck, I guess I'm glowin' up
Truth is gettin' obvious to me, I'm not even twenty-one
My music be the snobbiest, somehow I'm still gon' get it— (Get it–)
Do this for the audience, hold me down, I already won (Won)
Dope as fuck, I guess I'm—

[Verse 3]
Hands start to shake and I'm thinkin' rapidly
Bitch, I'm seein' the truth in my circle, just like it's alchemy
Don't get in the booth 'til the beats are defyin' gravity
Ears been fuckin' blessed with a curse to be the best on the Earth
It's non-duality the way I lose myself in the method
And the strategy is solid, I'ma beat it to death
I'm like a machine, I'm diggin' out dopamine
You're never gon' find it, keepin' it quiet
Stay up all night and make the hardest shit you've ever seen

[Outro]
I don't fold under pressure
Yeah, whether manic, love, or depression
Every body-mind shift, I'm growin' the vessel
Half you motherfuckers feedin' off my essence
Yeah, brew too cold, they need a refresher
Yeah, I'm gon' wield this art like a weapon
'Cause I'm seein' past all the bullshit
Pit me on the pulpit, pick it out, it's only my perception
Now I decide
So use this shit as a guide when makin' that fuckin' type beat
And good luck findin' anyone like me
I got the whole scene weighin' on my psyche
'Cause I'm desperate for progression
Bring it closer to perfection, every session
When we linkin'? Uh
Pain poised when I make noise, cap get diminished
I'm too advanced for the game, boy, I'ma need a minute

[EtienneYT]

Definitely heard some 2018 Brakence vibes around this. Love to see the more experimental side come back into your shit, my dude.

[siemspark]

that part where the tempo goes crazy and it drops after is so fire

[dannygg]

this song is the embodiment of beauty within the chaos

[AGMtagious]

Random fun fact: the building shown in the background image at 2:18 is called the "ziggurats", which is a student dormitory at my college/uni (UEA), and is a grade 2 listed building in the UK.

[jessemelancholy]

Brakence’s upcoming album is gonna be the greatest album of all time

[mallii]

this guy fails to make a bad song. biggest inspiration I ever had

[thatonenerdfromyourclass]

Two songs released a month apart by Brakence is a dream come true!!

Edit: Ik it’s 2 months but at least it isn’t like 5 months or smth.
Im back to say that i just got a youtube ad for this song 😳😳😳.

[luhhricofr]

His vocals and production were perfect on this album

[LightestKing]

Caffeine is the best word to describe this shit! Brakence never misses, I can't wait for this album it's gonna be like lavender town for music listeners 💀

[HIVEMINDTV]

brakence lookin like smitty werbenjagermanjensen at 3:03

[darthfrosty]

Brakence's music is some of the only music that i can honestly say is so much more than just music, it feels more like art than any other music i listen to. And im absolutely here for it and loving every second of it.
