Lyrics

Yeah, what up?

It's Dragon, baby, it's all love

It's about to be track two

I rock a microphone tool

While I'm still in school

Yeah, never dropped out the race

I just beat my case up, while I'm laced up

Brothers getting placed up in a category of fakeness

Can't look me in my face, uh, huh

But I bring the heat regardless, with the words from my breath

I never sleep 'cause, sleep is the cousin of death

And naps are an affiliate, so I'm not feeling it

But I still kick it with the Grim Reaper while he be killing shit, yeah

Merciless with my plays, Mercedes-Benz days

'Cause I got miles to go before I pass away

Yeah, Frost poetic, never synthetic

Yeah, I keep it authentic, so Fremont can represent it

Magic, if you felt it, then tap in

So we can make a classic

Commentary & Analysis

The microphone as instrument

The line "I rock a microphone tool" is better than a casual flex; it makes the mic feel engineered, like something Rohan is learning to operate while still in school. That tension is the charm of the track: young voice, serious self-mythology, and a real instinct for turning roughness into identity.

Death, sleep, and pressure

The sleep and death run is genuinely sharp because he does not just quote a famous idea and move on; he extends it into naps as an "affiliate," then personifies the Grim Reaper like someone he can sit beside. It is funny, dark, and disciplined at once.

Fremont as authorship

The Fremont bar matters. Rohan is not only saying he can rap; he is placing the record somewhere. That makes the track feel less like anonymous internet bravado and more like a local source document with a name, city, and attitude attached.
