In a battle with myself for too long

This life's a board game and I've been building a monopoly

Articulate the pain while I'm building up the property

If I didn't take risks, I'd reside in the poverty

This year, I want apologies

From all the people who never saw my vision properly

They were blind and they couldn't see that I was building something with the rhymes

Too focused on the past, they couldn't see that I was timeless

Now they know what time it is

You thought that when I said it was my season, I was being a comedian

Switching up my colours, you were seeing a chameleon

In a whole different mode, I'm so far from the medium

With the range that I would struggle to explain

So I'll show you it in practise

Dealing with the pressure, Guardiola, I can manage

Grinding every day, now making money is a habit

I turn to magic, oh

In a battle with myself for too long, now I'm winning that war

There won't be anybody by my side on the day I fall

At peace when I put it on the pages

I see myself on arenas and the stages

From all the days when I was stuck and feeling vacant, I had to change it, oh

Respectfully, I'm the next to shape the scene

Rappers selling make-believe and capping for the latest fee

Stacking the latency, honestly, it's meant to be

She don't know what she meant to be and mentally

I don't think none of these rappers next to me

Looking out my window, wondering where all my years went

Scared to share my gift, but I don't know where my fear went

Started seeing clearer, levelled up my bars whenever I'm rapping near 10

Honest in trying to better mine, searching for a better line

Honestly ain't got the time to ever try and make you mine

'Cause mummy always told me it's a long road to the top

Sacrificing gratitude, the money never fucking stops

Base hits, tryna shake blocks

Fifth gear, made the brake park

Move fast, I can't take stops

On the grind 'cause these rappers tryna take spots

Style the guys like Kate Moss

In a battle with myself for too long, now I'm winning that war

There won't be anybody by my side on the day I fall

At peace when I put it on the pages

I see myself on arenas and the stages

From all the days when I was stuck and feeling vacant, I had to change it, oh

In a battle with myself for too long, now I'm winning that war

There won't be anybody by my side on the day I fall

At peace when I put it on the pages

I see myself on arenas and the stages

From all the days when I was stuck and feeling vacant, I had to change it, oh
