lyrics

Opposite of popular belief
I was on the ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Opposite of popular belief
I was on the ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Kept my head to the sky
Into the clouds
Personifies
The flight line of a butterfly
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii

Spotted October's finest
Fall for me
I was born in the cool breeze of autumn
Smelling like nag champa
No I didn't ask for problems
Came to the top from the bottom
It's common to watch me blossom
I solemnly swear I'll never go rotten
I've forgotten how it feels
To keep it all bottled up
The trouble with that is
History repeats itself
Every cloud has its silver lining
Divine feminine, a sliver of hope
It's most dope

Opposite of popular belief
I was on the ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Opposite of popular belief
I was on the ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Kept my head to the sky
Into the clouds
Personifies
The flight line of a butterfly
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii

A worldly mogul
Doesn't stop being antisocial
Globally a social outcast
Skin radiant as opal
Causing coast to coast commotion
Flowing with the ocean
Lokelani has the potion
Presses pedal to the gas
Swiftly as Mclaren
Mariah carey fantasies
A carrot dangling from a string
Butterflies and bee stings
Equilibrium of two extremes
A requiem for a dream
Are these things really good as they seem?

Opposite of popular belief
I was on the ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Opposite of popular belief
I was on the ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Kept my head to the sky
Into the clouds
Personifies
The flight line of a butterfly
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii

Truth be told if it glitters
Is not gold
I reap what I sow
If you know
You know I know
You know I know
You know I know
Truth be told if it glitters
Is not gold
I reap what I sow
If you know
You know I know
You know I know
You know I know

Opposite of popular belief
I was on da ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Opposite of popular belief
I was on da ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Opposite of popular belief
I was on da ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Opposite of popular belief
I was on da ground
But I still believed
Fought my demons
Before my demons
Got the best of me
Kept my head to the sky
Into the clouds
Personifies
The flight line of a butterfly
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii
Who would've known
I'd get this high
Look at your girl
She super kawaii
