“Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not [going to f— with me] no more. But before this month ends I want y’all to listen closely to ‘c7osure,’ ” he wrote, adding multiple emojis including a rainbow.
He later shared a photo of his EP’s album artwork, zooming in on a rainbow projected on a building.
“Deada– thought I made it obvious,” he said.

“C7osure” finds Lil Nas X singing about a desire to live a more authentic life. “Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow / No more red light for me baby, only green, I gotta go / Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take ahold / This is what I gotta do, can’t be regrettin’ when I’m old.”
“True say, I want and I need to let go, use my time to be free,” he also sings.
