I'm never who they came to see (Never)

Seem like they show support to every man but me (Real shit)

That's how it used to be, shit, or how I used to think

But somethin' changed, now they all know my name all of a sudden

But I don't question shit (I can't), I tell my fans call me Gawd

And I ain't prayed for this (That's real), feel like a hypocrite

I mean, a little bit (A little bit), until it's mine, y'all gon' feel this (Y'all gon' feel this)

Now let me get into some real shit (Talk to 'em)

I ain't really got friends that can tag along

Had to cut 'em off, it was hard, but I'm glad they gone (They slowed me down)

Right or wrong, I still recite these songs (I do)

This a start, fucker, I'm barely on (I'm barely), but I feel right at home (I do)

Sometimes a sacrifice's a right decision (That's facts)

I'm alive, but I wasn't livin' (I wasn't), y'all couldn't see the vision

In case I didn't mention

It's not about today, it's about the future

You do the work now, you do the work now

And all of the shit that you could ever want to do for your family, your kids, your loved ones

It's all gonna be a whole nother stratosphere

The more weird you are is a reflection of how committed you are

To focus in on your shit, moulding, and shaping, and developing your ideas and your craft

So that when it's time for you to make your rounds, you gon' fly (Yeah, yeah, look)

I love my art, but not this business, but yet I battle through it

Convince myself not to remove my projects off of Apple Music

Know I'm nice, but past the point where I'm feelin' like I have to prove it (Past that)

My cup runneth over, it's just the water in my glass polluted

Can't dispute it (I can't), sing about talent, just deeper politics

All them co-signs from who's popular just to increase your followin'

Knew your name before, but they ain't never seem to acknowledge it (Nah)

The worst part is some of y'all know and still don't see what the problem is

Fuck excuses, I can't forgive 'em (I can't), my truth's an abandoned prison (Right)

Give your life to the public and watch 'em use it for ammunition

I ain't exempt (Our Father), I figure even Jesus was crucified

My fam said I should learn to unveil some secrets and use it wise (Love y'all)

The struggle between the artist and the person under

Tell you, "Chase your dreams", but when you share them, they prefer to slumber (They all lyin')

Fuck it, I'm cool with not reachin' vertical heights (Right)

'Cause nowadays it seems more like it ain't even worth it to write

That's life

And I'm not comin' at y'all on any other level but keepin' it real

The life that I live, I deserve this life because I worked my ass off to get it

Y'all out here runnin' around, creatin' these, this, this smoke

You still got work to do

Stay on that basketball court, stay on that football field

Fuck all the homies textin' and callin' and tryna make you feel bad about bein' so focused
