DON'T U KNOW?

Whoa

Ok, smile for the camera

Blow my candles make a wish

27 club was a party that I barely missed

My resume didn’t qualify to make the list

My parting gift was almost Stanley Uris all up on my wrist

Time is currency, I had spend my penny wise

Walked with urgency, thoughts I had to penalize

Picked up the paced, started dashing like I’m Noah Lyles

I had to close the door and throw the key like I’m Coraline

Borderline just a bit obsessed with this craft

My standard for myself is sky high, in fact

I got platinum worthy verses that might never leave my drafts

I’m shooting for the diamond ones, need so many plaques

I could cut my teeth with em, that’s light work

Big shoes, can I really fit em? that’s light work

Be better than the rest is? that’s light work

Show the world who the best is? that’s light work

Rather do it solo than to have the wrong one on my bed frame

One dime piece is a benji’s worth of headaches

One night stands now days is a dead game

When the party’s over I can feel it when I’m left shame

I’m the only one I can blame if I stay stagnant or let God help with change

Can only control so much of my day

For rest of the story gotta wait to explain

I’ve been grindin and grinding it don’t stop

Now i’m shining and shining im on top

I feel defiant a lion i'm like Pac

And no lie they fiend for my spot

Was taught

Work hard but pray harder

Praise God when i’m down to last my dollar

Yea

I’m just stacking my chips till they see me as the, as the greatest

I set these lofty expectations for myself

If I fail the punishment a chancla or a belt

Same way my momma had done put through hell

Naw I’m kidding

But Imagine If I didn’t get the disciplining

Guess we’ll never know if the laced drugs had me trippin

If the needles of my pain require me some penicillin

If I was gone would the world know what it’s missing?

Or will the wind blow like how we do with all our kissing?

Never went to school for a masters

But I’ve mastered my craft

I’ve shown you the stories of my agony and past

The way I make cry or the way I make you laugh

I guess i'm a stand up guy for that

Seen a couple friends turn themselves into fools

Gold that they seen had em breaking all the rules

Try to fix the kink in the armor but missing tools

Baptism got us scared of into jumping into pools

Wishing well for those that go wish in wells

Your story it’s hard to tell

I know the world is cruel

And if you ever tell it to the people gon listen

Don’t ever fail to mention that this story is the reason

You’re put in this position to heal others with lesions

Similar to yours so we all get through the seasons

It’s hard enough to pick up all pieces by yourself

Ain’t this what we rap for we pose to share up all the wealth

I’ve been grindin and grinding it don’t stop

Now i’m shining and shining im on top

I feel defiant a lion i'm like Pac

And no lie they fiend for my spot

Was taught

Work hard but pray harder

Praise God when i’m down to last my dollar

Yea

I’m just stacking my chips till they see me as the, as the greatest
