Look how the people gather 'round
When you finally came up
Boy, you came up
Put it down for 'em
You make the city so proud of you
Boy, you came up, boy, you came up
Put it down for 'em
For anybody whoever doubted you
They gotta pay up, gotta pay up

Still with your Day Ones
Still can't forget where you came from, where you came from
Put it down for 'em

It makes me sad to see some people aren't appreciating her new stuff. To me, you can really tell how much fun she is having with trying different beats while still maintaining her own style, especially all the hard work she puts into her music. That's what every artist should and want to do! It's about expanding and getting out of your comfort zone!

@tavarez170

Jenny Alegria Her? TOKiMONSTA is a "her"? :O

@alissamckleroy9522

@Apot correct she's a her. why so shocked?

@tavarez170

@Alissa McKleroy Been knowing about her music for years, and never knew it was a girl, tbh, lolololopolololol

@alissamckleroy9522

@Apot absolutely feel that. loved xxxtentacion's music for a min, never even knew what he looked like or who he was until after he died.

@alissamckleroy9522

but tokimonsta's story is cool. she got brain damage and it affected the way she heard music. sounded like noise to her. that's why her style changed so greatly.
