Lyrics

I've been taking my time with the grind
I need to shine, like it's 100 degrees outside I'm hot, I need to find the time to post content
I strive to be defined by a passion for making rhymes, now look at the time
You recognize my design, arriving late cause I'm trying to finish icing the cake
I'm out of shape, in terms of making a play
I need to celebrate but make it worth my time
You understand what I'm saying, my words hit you like a mace
I lost myself in the game, this music shit's like a maze
I make your salary in like a day ok, so don't hate the player hate the game
In twenty years I'll be looking back at the moments I made
That's double my age, I'm already drowning in praise
I give thanks to the friends that I made along the way
And the numbers that I've been given I'm grateful for everything
So don't sleep, yeah
Don't sleep on me, yeah
Don't fall asleep on a guy who's trying to find the time to be recognized
The size of his heart is real high
He's rhyming night after night
The day goes by and he's ready to climb back up to the top
Flowing like a river, he's wet but not washed
I turned myself into gold, my drive solid like rock
Hard with the bars, never far from having scars, and I'm feeling better than ever
I feel like a superstar
When you have all this attention it's easy to feel stunned
And overwhelmed by the pressure to keep up with all the stuff
Yeah, ok
The effect that it can have and the way that it can crush
But I stay awake for it all cause I know if I'm not enough
I'll be left behind for dead, eaten alive by the birds above
And if time is running out then I'm running with one foot in front of the other
2025 was a crazy year how it's flying by
All the people I met, and all the time that I spent
I spent it well cause I'm better than I've ever been
Making cheddar and making music that hits you real deep in the soul
I'm full from the days I endured
I've grown up, I've matured
You still sleeping on me?
Wake up before I fire these shots over at your head
I know you really love your bed but it's twelve in the morning
I got twelve in me today, Imma send you a warning, yeah
This rain is pouring and I'm ready to see a win in the studio recording
Imma drop a full album with twenty songs I rap in
You think it's funny, ok so why you over there laughing?
I'm mad now, stand down cause i'm coming with the grand sound
I got power and lines that'll make you fucking cry, you sad now
You want me to stop the music, hell nah, Imma keep it going
This sound is surround, it's surrounding you with a bounce
I'm coming with the rebound, you tryna get out of bounds
I'm moving steady and proud, you moving all the way south
Always doubted you from the start, how you hating on high amounts
Stop fucking sleeping, you snore with your mouth open, oh wow
Don't ever fucking sleep I've been awake for hours
Yeah
So don't sleep
Yeah, don't sleep on me
Yeah, so don't sleep
Yeah so don't sleep
Yeah, don't, huh
Yeah don't sleep
Don't sleep on me
