Setback after setback, yeah I had to take a step back

Triple threat, find a new attack

Time to focus on the racks

Had it then I lost it, time to get it back

Setback after setback, yeah I had to take a step back

Triple threat, find a new attack

Time to focus on the racks

Had it then I lost it, time to get it back

Chanel suit — should I get it with the Gucci boots?

I think that’s the dumbest way to spend my loot

I’d rather buy some KHK gear, then recruit

I’m ashing till it’s soot — that means once I start, I’m in it till it’s through

In a world so fake, I’m trying stay true

The damage in the brain made it hard to get through

Like Uno, I reversed it, now I’m feeling brand new

Like everything a view, diverse color patterns, I’m seeing different hues

Me on a track, that’s conjuring Langston Hughes

Time to put our foot on the pedal, we can’t afford to cruise

We can’t afford to lose

Need more promo money so I can’t afford the booze

If she not adding to me, then I can’t afford her too

She slipped through my hand — well maybe she was loose

Setback after setback, yeah I had to take a step back

Triple threat, find a new attack

Time to focus on the racks

Had it then I lost it, time to get it back

Hard times be temporary when mindset on January

Hard times be temporary when mindset on January

I get to the notes like an actuary

More money, more problems, but your choices vary

When you down bad it can get hairy

Stepping out the shadows, aiming for the light

Fought battles in silence, I’m ready for a fight

Investing in my mind, every gem I seek is rare

Grew up where they hustle hope, I learned to breathe the air

No shortcuts on this path, every stone I place my stride

When doubts whisper close, I’m the voice that won’t subside

Survival’s in the roots, ambition in the stems

Learned that failures teach you more than any money you can spend
