Took some time to show me patience
Took me time to grow my ways
Feel alive when I vacation
Maybe I should go away
Work so hard I'm tryna taste it
Flavor tends to fade away
I can tell you I'm gon' make it
But you don't know what that would take
I can show my dedication
I can show you my mistakes
I share you my vocation
I can dare you do the same
Try to learn to imitation
But I play a different game
If I ran from all this paper
I don't know if I'd escape
I built with innovation
I had to welcome change
Streets gave me education
I had to learn from pain
I be counting my 1,2,3
I be talking my a,b,c
I be counting my 1,2,3
I be talking my a,b,c
Took some time to show me patience
Took me time to grow my ways
Feel alive when I vacation
Maybe I should go away
Work so hard I'm tryna taste it
Flavor tends to fade away
I can tell you I'm gon' make it
But you don't know what that would take
I be counting my 1,2,3
I be talking my a,b,c
I be counting my 1,2,3
I be talking my a,b,c
