Lyrics
Played around with my chances I had to roll dice
Who knew I'd see my name shining up in all lights
I learned that making it once just means you failed twice
I got my mac and my mic just for those stale nights
They thought it's easy as pie, now they want a slice
Most surprised about my age, I'll tell 'em twice
You say he only 16 oh wow that shit nice
I got a dollar and dream no Friday night lights
They never follow through with beef so now it's getting stale
Some of my guys like vaccines how they in the cells
Some of my lines come off mean but I mean well
I really put my energy up into detail
The bigger pictures really made up of the little pictures
The big decisions come from being smart with small decisions
Im watching big thousands till they turn to lil millions
For now I'm doing this for me cuz I ain't got children
I got in touch with my roots
My branches bearing the fruit
The ones that grow with lots of patience got the sweetest of juice
They try to tell me to move
But what you want me to do?
My mental state is getting therapy when I'm in the booth
Retracing my steps until I find the source of the pain
Only time my phone be dry is when I'm walking through rain
I feel these thoughts and they linger
Hold my trigger finger close while I'm talking to strangers
GTA chuck danger
Imma still keep it 100 through the hardships
And gotta keep my head on swivels 'cuz they wanna start shit
Lost or win it all
Ball or imma fall again
And I know they saying theft is the only sin
But rappers stealing flows
They could never take the hint right when it's under their nose
They could never keep a fan base for more than two shows
Think the ground is solid but it's moving under their toes
I get it and go
I'm really just
I'm really just grateful
Look
There's no more happy ever afters or the fairytale beginnings
I talk to God at church hope he forgiving all the sinning
I gotta ask
How come the blessings come at times when I least expected
They better play their cards right before I play a seven
You know we getting even wiser by the millisecond
They on DND I guess they didn't get the message
But now I'm in the conversation who they think the next is
The prince gon turn into the king but we not playing Tekken
The musicality is bound to put them in a trance
I should be focused on a ring but now my diamonds dance
I should be focused on my songs instead of getting bands
But what's a man without rolls and a sprinter van?
Played around with my chances I had to roll dice
Who knew I'd see my name shining up in all lights
I learned that making it once just means you failed twice (grateful)
I got my mac and my mic just for those stale nights (yeah)
They thought it's easy as pie, now they want a slice
Like I said two years ago it's really only the beginning
We haven't even started
Visionary
True visionary
