LIKE 2021 Lyrics by Blaqbonez
Back outside, the air smells like fresh vinyl and the city hums louder than a bass line. Blaqbonez drops LIKE 2021 and the first beat feels like a breath of freedom after a long, heavy winter.

Back outside, the air smells like fresh vinyl and the city hums louder than a bass line. Blaqbonez drops LIKE 2021 and the first beat feels like a breath of freedom after a long, heavy winter. He’s standing on the curb, a coupe glinting in the streetlight, and the lyric “Price going up on a Tuesday, Outside, in a coupe on a Wednesday” echoes the rhythm of his new reality. It’s not just a track; it’s a manifesto for anyone who’s finally stepped out of the shadows and into their own spotlight.
Blaqbonez sings about leaving the past behind, “Me and SAPA was filing for divorce I don’t wanna anymore.” That line isn’t just a personal confession; it signals a break from old ties that no longer fit his upgraded lifestyle. The song’s hook, “Back outside like it’s 2021,” becomes a rallying cry for those who’ve been stuck in a rut, reminding them that the present is a fresh canvas. The mention of “Boot custom, Balenci’” and “tailor‑made, one of one” underscores the tangible symbols of success that now define his daily grind.
Every stanza is a celebration of luxury. “When I shoot, I dey score, no be eeny, minny, moe” paints a picture of a man who’s now the one in control, scoring hits and high fashion alike. The repeated “Yippie‑yah, yippie‑yah, yippie‑yah, yo” feels like a party chant, inviting listeners to join the revelry. Blaqbonez layers “Burn the Backy, mixed with the shayo” and “On soft, we dey ball, no be Tanko,” blending street slang with high‑end references, creating a bridge between his roots and his current status.
The lyric “In 2026 I dey for where no one fit reach” is more than a future promise; it’s a bold statement of ambition. Blaqbonez projects himself beyond the present, hinting at a trajectory that will keep him ahead of the curve. This forward‑looking mindset is the heartbeat of the track, turning a simple celebration into a roadmap for growth. The line “My picture dey deceive, ah, ’cause we don see things” suggests that what people perceive is just a glimpse of a larger, more complex journey.
Even amid the swagger, there’s a subtle nod to balance. “Boat cruise, ten bad ones, and with the homies, it’s going” mixes the thrill of a night out with the camaraderie of close friends. Blaqbonez admits, “Had a pain that I felt, I go get am off my chest,” showing that the pursuit of joy doesn’t erase past struggles; it transforms them. The repeated call to “Rain, rain, go away, yeah” feels like a cleansing mantra, letting go of negativity as he embraces the present.
Blaqbonez’s LIKE 2021 is more than a catchy beat; it’s a manifesto for anyone who’s finally stepped out of the shadows and into their own spotlight. The track reminds us that the future is now, and it’s up to us to keep the party going.
