Letra

[Intro]

Three things I learned as a practitioner:

1. Don't chase anything that's not for you

2. Don't deny who or what could be a great fit for you

3. It's okay to aim high as long as you have the vert

But I remember things got good for me when I stopped jumping

[1st verse]

When engaged with aspirations, you’re bound to see the grief

In a realm where expectations and reality will beef

See, normally, the chances of success have been deemed by

Playing the cards dealt, well, my best was a queen high

I was like everyone else, lacing lines on production

That leaked from a local legend whom many vied for a junction

When rap royalty reeled him in, my chances were scratched then

Analyzing the placements, and noticed cats weren’t matching

Meanwhile, I was burdened with stubbornness

Forcing fits when perfect pieces popped with my otherness

Two Korean obscurities showed that nothing was lost in the pen

And one of my dogs is known as one of the dogs from the den

The legend is still dope, except I knew the case when meeting him

Now I know producers more suitable for me than him

Patching myself from that pipe dream led me to swift endeavors

Cause to channel my Ramo, I couldn’t be Spit forever

{Chorus 2x}

Never take for granted what you’re granted

Devaluate the sake of chance and what you can get

Many want to hit the scene, but forget to work the plains

Trying to dunk, yet know the layup is worth the same

[2nd verse]

It was, “How can I be down?” Down was how it was played

Playing my shit, but shit out of luck was how it was phrased

The days that defined my ‘03; faith in music that’s close to home

My triangle trials let me realize how the flows were grown

Witnessed it to simply be dazed

You showed them love, you’re quickly viewed as the Krispy Kreme glaze

Noted with slander while on Tom’s net; offensive offerings from the offset,

Yet often the offensive would pray for props from our strong vets

Now, fate still has the funniest functions

Study states that I’m the first to bless Dunny’s production

Rocked with Son of Squirrel on his Friday leg to Burlington

Nodding with Flash showing his edge upon his early drums

Many had thought “Let’s pretend,” but my standing is the best of blends

Best collaborators, best of mentors, and best of friends

The classiest statesmen, even down to the illest pair

Thanks to them, if it’s just me, I don’t feel ill-prepared

{Chorus 2x}

Never take for granted what you’re granted

Devaluate the sake of chance and what you can get

Many want to hit the scene, but forget to work the plains

Trying to dunk, yet know the layup is worth the same

[3]

I planned never to don the durag in The K

Sure that my better days were done, as new rappers were praised

Also, the tongue was the barbarian’s hardest barrier

Just as much as the artists varied, the guards were scarier

Once I noticed the Cooks cooking, I couldn’t be any more incorrect

Despite the clash of codes, I can still blaze the foreign effect

With reverence for the cultures, I embraced it as a savage

Laid it out on the table in the faces that’s established

The live wire was sparked, causing Red Rock erosion

Twice the sabotage; not a thing yet stopped the motion

Of course, I’d see the cons as a contestant

Yet Ws were mine when I would go beyond what’s reckless

To sum up, my soul searching led me back to the soul snatching

To see these bold verses revered by most of Seoul’s factions

I guess the sole purpose is just to prep a prose and do my jams

No need to appear on “Show Me” just to show them who I am

{Chorus 2x}

Never take for granted what you’re granted

Devaluate the sake of chance and what you can get

Many want to hit the scene, but forget to work the plains

Trying to dunk, yet know the layup is worth the same
