Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Aye, look
Aye
[Chorus]
Nobody talk about the mind games and trickiness of it
Or the wide array of dick-ridin' and cliquiness of it
Weird energy behind the scenes, bitch, keep it in public
When money's involved, you not the one I could keep it a buck with
You think these **** is your friends, that's a bad assumption
You'll never catch these rap **** at my family function
**** in a budget, I mean, business is business
I put in ten thousand hours, bruh, I'm not an apprentice
[Verse 1]
Threw some diamonds in my gap, I should've went to the dentist
****, I'm stamped and cemented, they take the styles I invented
I'm a real one, I held it down since the beginning
But even real **** get pushed to the limit
He got a million followers and he broke, what does that mean?
He's a Kardashian, he's just famous for bein' seen
Till the label said you deep in the red, it's 'cause you green
Now you goofy and broke in them Alexander McQueens
That deep desire to get attention is a disease
You should put your phone down for a minute and touch some trees
I'd get all that sucker shit out the way if it's up to me
Manifestin' everything that I want 'cause it's up to me
I done ran it up by myself, steppin' like a Kappa
I ain't have to step outside myself
When this shit get tough, I take a moment to remind myself
No matter what they say, it's up to me how I define myself
****, yeah
At the roundtable tryna get a check out 'em
Million-dollar **** dressed like I was at the Met Gala
I was barefoot, walkin' through hell and finessed out it
Now they feel a **** from West Oakland to West Adams
All the realest **** that I know give me a nod
A world builder, I was made in the image of God
I ain't stressin' over too much, I give it to God
'Cause He was there when everybody else didn't respond, huh?
[Chorus]
Through all the trickiness of it
And the wide array of dick-ridin' and cliquiness of it
Weird energy behind the scenes, bitch, keep it in public
When money's involved, you not the one I could keep it a buck with
You think these **** is your friends, that's a bad assumption
You'll never catch these rap **** at my family function
**** in a budget, I mean, business is business
I put in ten thousand hours, bitch, I'm not an apprentice no more
[Outro]
Yeah, huh
