6lack Rent Free By Any Means

6LACK is back with two new singles to wrap up 2021. “Rent Free” and “By Any Means” hit streamers on Friday, December 17th, and find the alternative R&B artist addressing a lover who’s taken up tenancy in his head on the former, and showing off his “insatiable hunger” on the latter.

Earlier this year, he collaborated with Lil Tjay on “Calling My Phone,” dropped off “Let Go My Hand” with J. Cole, worked with Khalid on “Retrograde,” and linked up with Isaiah Rashad and SZA on “Score.” A press release reveals that the 29-year-old’s follow-up efforts to his last album – 2018’s East Atlanta Love Letter – is set to arrive in 2022.

“6LACK release day – my favourite holiday,” one adoring fan wrote in the comments of the Baltimore native’s latest Instagram post. “We appreciate you! Will be streaming all day,” and “so worth the wait,” others added.

Lyrics (6LACK – Rent Free)

[Verse 1]
How you livin’? (Real shit)
I heard you got more room, no roofs, no ceilings
You needed space to grow, now you have no limits
And I don’t even think I been the same since you went missin’
I changed for love like Diddy, yeah
‘Cause I know you ain’t had to take that, take that
(You ain’t had to take that, yeah)
And I was thinkin’ “Maybe if I give you time, maybe time could erase that”
Faster, but it took that love
And now all your problem-solvin’ until this shit add up

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been through a lot this year (Through a lot)
You been though a lot this year (Through a lot)
When it come to the fights this year (To the fights)
Who really paid the price this year?
I keep tryna fight these feels
Like sleep I don’t quite get here
I had to be right yeah yeah
I had to be right yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
You live in my mind rent free
I admit it was my pride allegedly
I done filled up all my time just to feel empty (Empty)
How you don’t pay me no mind and then still be
In my rent free

[Verse 2]
These days I be real cautious, part of an artist (Yeah)
All of my words hit you the hardest (Hardest)
Now we gettin’ further instead of farther (Farther)
Backseat, baby it’s callin’, I had to park it (Had to park)
I think it’s Hell, you takin’ all of thid
Ooh, don’t you go makin’ it harder

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been through a lot this year (Through a lot)
You been though a lot this year (Through a lot)
When it come to the fights this year (To the fights)
Who really paid the price this year?
I keep tryna fight these feels
Like sleep I don’t quite get here
I had to be right yeah yeah
I had to be right yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
You live in my mind rent free (Mind, mind, mind, mind)
I admit it was my pride allegedly
I done filled up all my time just to feel empty
How you don’t pay me no mind and then still be (Still be)
In my rent free

[Bridge]
Can we go back to like it was?
Had to warm it up
Crank again, started it up
I done did too much work
I ain’t even hit harder than enough
But I think I’ll quit some in the cut
With a bag of tricks like it was luck
Got the pride like it was tucked
Got the liquor on ice, it was a cup

[Verse 3]
‘Cause you been through a lot this year
I been through a lot this year
Had to pay the price this year
No more flights this year
And the issue ’cause I miss you
And I’m on the way to wipe your tears
All the wrongs and the rights this year
Got me lookin’ at my life this year
Like I really gotta make things clear
Not just tell you all the shit you wanna hear
Reassure you ain’t never got to fear
Bein’ with a real nigga, yeah

Lyrics (6LACK – By Any Means)

[Intro]
Places I been, people I’ve seen
Remember my whole life was started with dreams
I had to start from the bottom
Full throttle to top by any means
I had to let ’em go first, ’cause I know I’m the king

[Verse]
Like to be heard but I hate to be seen
Hurt them ’til they leakin’ burgundy bleed
These niggas they mad, I know that they green
My album go platinum, I’m not on the scene
Who you know do it like a nigga I could borrow?
Send it to your girl on the low
We ain’t with the drama, but we still a threat
The boys all on go
I done dropped in, I done clocked in, fuck a top ten
I am not them, this is off top, it is not penned
I am not fan ’til I drop gems
I had learned shit, and I stocked shit
And I really thought I was the hot shit
I was down bad, then I got lit
Saw a lil’ window like a cockpit
This the same world, but it’s 6LACK’s world
This a black world, this a tax world
I done saved up for the AP
But I walked in with the black pearl
Just a young nigga with a gold grill
Can’t believe I really made a whole mil
Then a whole mil, then some more mils
And some more mils, skippin’ no meals

[Outro]
Places I been, people I’ve seen
Remember my whole life was started with dreams
I had to start from the bottom
Full throttle to top by any means
I had to let ’em go first, ’cause I know I’m the king
