I worked hard to turn obsessions to professions
Tasted success after I stopped chasing perfection
See what it looks like, is really all subjective
Imagine what I look like if I listen to suggestions
No, I don't wanna hear that I'm next up
Would you still love me if I messed this all up?
I watched my cousin turn into a felon
And he watched me turn into a local legend
Mom knew I was special, must've been the exception
Always had to drive with no gas or direction
How'd I turn into the plug off my connections?
Had to make impressions instead of being reflections
I hope you get the message, life ain't really what it seems
I don't even dream, augmented my reality
Sometimes I can't believe that I'm really me
Look in the mirror and I'm still here I've been popping since a teen
Yeah, rare sight in my city to make it out
They start hating on you when they clap it out
So watch out, they catch you out in traffic now
That's why I heard the block like it's my favorite route
A lot of people said I'm lost in my ways
I mean my head is a maze, but that's the price I paid
I made a legacy off of my last name with my dad's face
So I can never go back to last place

I know you hear me now
I gotta lot of people round me trying to hold me down
I'm never satisfied when people always say they proud
We gotta check your motives, why you even come around?
I know you hear me now
I worked all my life, I got it figured out
No opps, we got opportunities we handing out
I know the city love me, someday be the poster child

Looking at my mama as she kneeling down to pray
Tried that shit myself but God had nothing to say
Know my enemies, but friends easy to betray
Be lying to myself if I ain't make that mistake
Started hustling, skinny nigga moving weight
Know my destiny but having trouble with my fate
Too fly, I can't delay
Get high and meditate
When I walk I levitate
My mind onto a better place
I know the past I can't erase
But my future what I'm headed to
Thought they left my ass behind, bitch I'm way ahead of you
Scared to do, anything where you might see a fed or to two
Low risk, low reward, bitch it's why you bred to lose
I done been here for a while so I gained some knowledge
I had to pay for what I learned but I ain't go to college
Out the ashes like an urn, that's why they so astonished
Bitch it's my turn, they must forgot, politely just remind 'em

I know you hear me now
I gotta lot of people round me trying to hold me down
I'm never satisfied when people always say they proud
We gotta check your motives, why you even come around?
I know you hear me now
I worked all my life, I got it figured out
No opps, we got opportunities we handing out
I know the city love me, someday be the poster child
