Lyrics

Set the wave
Got to elevate can't stay the same
Had to run it up and make a play
Look how far we've come from where we came
Had to switch it up and find a way
Heard they talking we don't hear a thing
They could never throw dirt on my name
Different type of cloth we not the same
I shoot at anything that's in my aim
Ok I had to get it had to find a way
Heard a lot of people talking
I don't care about what they say
They just trying to cool me down
But they could never dim the flame
Had my back against the ropes still I jabbed at everything
And now I'm back at it
I had to go and readjust I'm breaking bad habits
If I said it then I meant it ain't no backtracking
I don't seek no validation
If it's love where I'm from
That's the perfect confirmation hold on
I gotta get it I'm gone
Love when I'm proving 'em wrong
Whoever they saying the greatest
I'll behead 'em to get me the throne
It's something I wouldn't condone
But something I've never outgrown
The tell me the road is rocky
I turn to Sly Stallone
I had to make a name
My life a roller coaster
Music like my great escape
I had to pave a lane
They say the game need change
Like Mariano Rivera
I came to save the day
Set the wave
Got to elevate can't stay the same
Had to run it up and make a play
Look how far we've come from where we came
Had to switch it up and find a way
Heard they talking we don't hear a thing
They could never throw dirt on my name
Different type of cloth we not the same
I shoot at anything that's in my aim
Ok I'm plotting different
Got to get that top position
A top shotta when I'm spotting out the opposition
A trendsetter only thing I follows intuition
If we comparing compositions ain't no competition
Yeah
I just hit 'em with facts
Used to hate telling people that I wanted to rap
Not because I was ashamed or I was holding it back
But I saw the stank in they faces by the way they'd react
Like what you really do
How you pay rent
I mean you nice and all but have you seen a pay check
Backhanded compliments from those who lack greater goals
And criticize others lives when they insecure with they own
So I don't care about no rap debates
Time is money and I got tracks to make
So next time they ask me what path I'll take
Tell 'em I rhyme prime time like Jackson State
Set the wave
Got to elevate can't stay the same
Had to run it up and make a play
Look how far we've come from where we came
Had to switch it up and find a way
Heard they talking we don't hear a thing
They could never throw dirt on my name
Different type of cloth we not the same
I shoot at anything that's in my aim
