Never lack wit never get it backwards me rarely smoking backwoods stacking till my cash good
Used be a young punk sixteen sharpening sixteens for a summer that only a few only seen
This day and age some click your page double tap for a like times two, three, two
Who really real in a world that's see through
Watch what they do gas or grab food? car or rent (woo)
In the bay where everything on the come up for real
Where spending half your check on your rent is a steal
So why dream when you could live sweet
Be a pawn day to day no rose from concrete
Pause on your passion stuck where you are obsolete
Nine to five waking up day to day repeat
F*ck that imma grind and keep my shine homes
Why quit when your already half way
They don't that I've been grinding trying to get my life this way
It's been and long and overdue that I'm gonna get myself some change
See I'll be okay doing what I love
See I'll be okay it's gonna do enough
See I was raised as an ain't shit
My mind my mind state ancient
My handshake anxious of whats to come impatient
My lifestyle so makeshift
I'm trying to make it out the box and make out the mud and rocks
And buy me plates of pasta lobster
You was playing cops and robbers
I was plotting copping mom and pops the block
Cause it was only proper
But now I'm grown I see this is a mean of living and I mean it
Spitting something uniquely rooted in my genius
Big bone can't break me down with no sticks and stones
You split my dome I spill my flows
I just want to make a hundred grand when I step on stage
On to the next chapter need to flip that page
So I could pull up in a phantom menace of sobriety
Drown myself in Hennessy only if they supplying me
I could give a damn if I get paid dub a show
Fast or slow getting chicken from the pen thats a dub fosho
They don't that I've been grinding trying to get my life this way
It's been and long and overdue that I'm gonna get myself some change
See I'll be okay doing what I love
See I'll be okay it's gonna do enough
Time is of the essence so why waste it on momentary objects
Shifting veering away from your gifts straight up nonsense
You could do it too without leaning on your crew
Fly across the ocean be worldwide who woulda knew
Putting time into your thing your craft is where it's at
Why bitch and moan sulking bout your situation
While you out copping kicks I'm lacing beats learning licks
Like black thought sharpen the razor keep it under my tongue
I stay hungry grinding evident since day one
Ready kill the game on all cylinders set to stun
My mind grows strong as the earth orbits the sun
Whatever will come better or worse I know it's mine
Reap what you sow inhale the earth packing your bowl
Exhale speak your truth the world soon feeling your soul
See and know evil give back to all people
Expand your mind's eye fly like an eagle
See and know evil give back to all people
Expand your minds eye fly like an eagle
