Daytona - Lace Up Lyrics

I, I gotta lace up
Nigga I gotta lace up
Yeah, yeah
Somebody tell me what I gotta do, I gotta f*cking lace up (I, I gotta lace up)
It was a mistake, I let these niggas take my kindness for granted yuh (Granted yeah)
Nigga, my whole life people tried to pin me down (Pin me down)
This ain't a wrestling match nigga, why you tryna spin my life around
Yeah, I had to watch my f*cking back, ever since I made it out
They put me 3 feet under, tried to kill my career and steal my thunder
I was a true newcomer (Yeah)
Worked on my shit through summer (Yeah yeah)
Showed some of my homies my shit, they was like "nigga, you gon do wonders" (Yeah)
I was tryna be number one, drop it quick and then another one
I was like a DJ, cooking mixtapes back to back (Do that shit back to back)
Took a break from music, but a nigga was hooked... Back to that
(I'm getting back to that)
But I made sure they wasn't just riding the train 'fore I went back to the tracks
And I was duckin' niggas that was driving the Benz (Aflac)
Didn't wanna pay for insurance
Cuz' that would ensure that I couldn't afford none my shit by myself
(Couldn't afford the shit)
But it's true that you can't make it anywhere without no help
(Can't make it anywhere nah, nah)
But its you. You the one that's gotta choose to excel
Lay your notes on the table, prioritize what you want and do nothing else
You gon' have to get dirty if you really wanna drip like Michael Phelps
Then you can take a hot shower. Chance said it himself
You don't gotta go through hell, you just gotta take your time with it
Somebody tell me what I gotta do, I gotta f*cking lace up (I, I gotta lace up)
It was a mistake, I let these niggas take my kindness for granted yuh (Granted yeah)
Nigga, my whole life people tried to pin me down (Why don't you stop that shit)
This ain't a wrestling match nigga, why you tryna spin my life around
Yeah, I had to watch my f*cking back, ever since I made it out (I made it out)
They put me 3 feet under, tried to kill my career and steal my thunder
I was a true newcomer (Yeah)
Worked on my shit through summer (Yeah yeah)
Showed some of my homies my shit, they was like "nigga, you gon do wonders"
(Do wonders)
People don't know the struggle (No no) they don't know nothing at all (Nada)
I used to give discounts, I was working at Ross (Yeah)
I used to order take-out, with the niggas from Laurel
I used to wonder which house, I'd be living tomorrow
My momma did the hard work
Now I'm tryna make shit better for her
My sister taught me how to flirt
Now I'm tryna make shit better for her
I'mma take us out the dirt
You gon see me on the newsletters (Oh yeah)
I'mma let these niggas do what they want
If they gon' switch let em'
What's with niggas being shady, you can't see the bright of day
(You can't see the bright of day)
Niggas did a 180, tryna hope on the wave (Tryna hope on the wave)
Get out my face bruh, got no time to conversate (No time)
I gotta lace up, it's my time to be a great one
Somebody tell me what I gotta do, I gotta f*cking lace up (I, I gotta lace up)
It was a mistake, I let these niggas take my kindness for granted yuh (Granted yeah)
Nigga, my whole life people tried to pin me down (Why don't you stop that shit)
This ain't a wrestling match nigga, why you tryna spin my life around
Yeah, I had to watch my f*cking back, ever since I made it out (I made it out)
They put me 3 feet under, tried to kill my career and steal my thunder
I was a true newcomer (Yeah)
Worked on my shit through summer (Yeah yeah)
Showed some of my homies my shit, they was like "nigga, you gon do wonders"
(Do wonders)
I, I gotta lace up
Nigga I gotta lace up
Yeah, yeah
