Lyrics

Yeah
Stepping to Dave like you step in your coffin
I'm killing this game like the parents of orphans
Shit is too easy on weekends I'm golfing
Chasing the cream like a donut in Boston
Just got my start and won't ever fall off
Cuz I don't be doing this shit for the profit
Everyone asking me when my shit dropping
Bitch here it is best proceed with some caution
Cuz the ego numb the pain like we on some morphine
Switch it up in this bitch now we on the same team
I'm fucking up the game when I ball I'm Kareem
Ima get your ass hooked like a fucking dope fiend
I don't need no help I don't need no beat
I don't need no lane I don't need no street
I don't need no fame but my eyes turned green
(I just wanna be loved) no I just wanna be the king
Drowning in riches I drown in respect
I want ice on my wrist I want ice on my neck
Got eyes on the throne so that's what I'm gon get
They gon call me the king they gon call me the best
Fuck the rest of these rappers that's coming up
Bitch I got next
Ima go down as the GOAT in this bitch
And I said what I said yea
Compensation feeling like we ain't shit
Running from the pain we can't face it no
Talk a lotta talk but we faking yo
Still we embrace it won't change it
No
Been the man for a minute can't fade me
Ain't no cap when I speak can't change me
I been working on my game like daily
Never compare me to these bitches they basic
I never had the urge to be complacent
Ain't a second a day that's fucking wasted
I may be running from thoughts that's too invasive
But I'd rather flip the script I'm too persuasive (uh)
I'm pulling up when the chips are down
These insecurities erupt so I flipped em round
You were feeling fucked up but I fixed it now
Like you ain't have no fucking pride now you're screaming loud
Fuck the world (world) cuz I know better than the rest
Speak with your chest and we'll pass any test that we take
I can say I'm unimpressed but put everyone down
And you'll be all that's left
Cuz everyone hurt you we made it internal
But I'll pick you up off the floor
Fuck everybody that's putting you down
Like they're nothing but bitches for sure
Cuz you better than everyone all your competitors
Seen nothing like you before
You can be your biggest critic that's valid
But I'll keep you safe from the aches and the sores
Destined for greatness the brain is heinous
And you hate yourself but so damn creative
Like you won't be nameless, you gonna be famous
Everybody saying that but it ain't contagious
So I take the wheel and make you feel the hatred
But we turn it on these punks and we make them faceless
Fucked up in the head but you gotta be shameless ain't never be aimless
It won't ever be painless
Just compensation for the fear we facing
We deflect the pain but we ain't never erase it
Just feeling sedated from the games we playing
Like we talk that shit but everything that I'm saying is fucking true
Clout chasing and mind racing
Like ima still be top dog in this rap matrix face it
I'm the best at every game I'm playing
Come hell or high water Ima be the greatest yea
