Lyrics

Jomo Kays
I can only choose how I react
Plenty people done me wrong, but I don't plan on getting back
Ain't got time for that
I'd rather keep stacking up these racks
Pray to God, hop on beats, and tell my girl that she look bad
That's the motto
Tryna go on dinner dates in different states
First make sure my fam okay
Then I'm hopping on a plane
I can't pay no mind to hate
I tell my girl to think the same
'Cause when we up, they gon be speaking our name
Guess that's what comes with fame
But I ain't trying to be famous
I'm just speaking on my pain
I'm tryna be the person for the ones that can relate
And tryna change my family's lives
So they don't worry 'bout a thing
This deeper than rap, so I ain't ever one to envy
People telling me that they can't wait to say they've met me
Labels coming 'round and they've been really tryna tempt me
But I'm praying before everything
I pray that God protect me
I pray that God protect me
I pray that God protect me
I pray that God protect me
Yeah, I know he gon protect me
I can only choose how I react
Plenty people done me wrong, but I don't plan on getting back
Ain't got time for that
I'd rather keep stacking up these racks
Pray to God, hop on beats, and tell my girl that she look bad
That's the motto
That's the motto
Feel like I done won the lotto
And I ain't even rich yet
But it's purpose over paper everytime, so don't forget that
I can only choose how I react
Plenty people done me wrong, but I don't plan on getting back
Ain't got time for that
I'd rather keep stacking up these racks
Pray to God, hop on beats, and tell my girl that she look bad
That's the motto
Tryna go on dinner dates in different states
First make sure my fam okay
Then I'm hopping on a plane
I can't pay no mind to hate
I tell my girl to think the same
'Cause when we up, they gon be speaking our name
And that ain't sumn that I need
But it's okay
Imma put on for my family
told 'em, imma make a change
Please don't complain if you ain't ever took that risk
Plenty times I could've quit, but I ain't quit
After conversations with sis
Realised this is bigger than it is
Plenty people depending on me and hoping that I win
So imma win for all the times we took a loss
No paid leave mama, I'll cover the cost
Pray to God for all my sins and all my wrongs
Still a youngin tryna understand my thoughts
 can only choose how I react
Plenty people done me wrong, but I don't plan on getting back
Ain't got time for that
I'd rather keep stacking up these racks
Pray to God, hop on beats, and tell my girl that she look bad
That's the motto
That's the motto
Feel like I done won the lotto
And I ain't even rich yet
But it's purpose over paper everytime, so don't forget that
Don't forget that
It's purpose over paper everytime, and don't forget that
Don't forget that
It's purpose over paper everytime, so don't forget that
