Pacing through my journey in this industry

Isolation if you try controlling me

Many sign to business suits for promised dreams 

Prickly fingers perpetrate their thievery 

Sign away those rights for perpetuity

The cash flow shrivels up with all the label pleasantries

Lawd still their debt is going up while their streams are falling down

And they find themselves evasive in catastrophe

All that hard work and nothing to show for

Bills ain't getting paid from all gold-plated trophies no more

Now they've lost themselves betrayed they day ones and they solo

Ones who'd lift them up and give the real replaced by brand clothes

Thought it be enough to have talent (talent)

Took that damn advance to build your balance (oh woah)

Grabbed the plate they handed em the meal's shit

ROI or RIP now you pick, you pick

Oh no

Which way I gotta go?

Oh no oh oh oh

All you wanted, here it is

Now what?

Sought for validation now the money spent 

All the yes men suffocate your common sense

Only if you listened to your gut back then 

Would've drowned em out and read the fine print

Now your flood of tears can't take 1 cent

Off of what you owe, was it worth it?

Now they disappeared, all the yes men

Took the confidence you had with the bag

You worked to earn but you just splurged it all for them

All the good in your intentions, you just wanted them to win

Now you gotta take the L all by yourself, you're all alone

Just for a loan you didn't know within a dream a nightmare grows, where do you go?

Oh no

Which way I gotta go?

Oh no oh woah oh

Oh no

Which way I gotta go?

Oh no oh oh oh

Don't you know artists dream about stars with

Heart on the sleeve, that's an easy target

Seeing the downside of a wishful mind

Got no Shenron, but so many Friezas seeking to re-up

Never sold bricks, but they built my house up

With the foundation you thought you could touch

But if you weren't here, you get no comps, Mastercard or Visa?

Not rich, but the bread come soon

Knowledge is power when the dreams come true

My vision's safe cause I got my troops

Ancestors stand in the way of doom

Still I make my moves, and the road's not smooth

But it doesn't really matter cause the air I choose

Instilled wisdom in the mind I flew

Took no first class, higher plane pursuit

Learn my lessons from the fall

Put the work in 'fo I ball

Gotta keep my wits bout me

ROI or RIP

Oh no

Which way I gotta go?

Oh no oh woah oh

Oh no

Which way I gotta go?

Oh no oh oh oh
