The intro is arguably the most important song on any album. It sets the tone for the remainder of the body of work and grabs the listener's attention. Polo G made sure to set the tone properly for his new project, THE GOAT that dropped this Friday. With appearances from Juice WRLD, Lil Baby, and more, the intro track "Don't Believe The Hype" finds Polo G reflecting on the trials and tribulations to get to the point he's in from the streets of Chicago to being the next up from the city. He walks a thin line where he's reaping the success of his hard work while still seeing those around him stuck in the same world and lifestyle that he managed to escape.
Quotable Lyrics
If I ain't had so much to lose, I'd be riskin' it with him
Always rap about the guys 'cause I genuinely miss 'em
Five years later, thousand tears later, still feel like the day when they hit 'em
Make sure I always say y'all name so ain't no way they forget 'em
Gon' always feel like fuck the opps 'cause n***a, I can't forgive 'em
