I loved the fast life until I learned that that's slow
I'm tryna reach my summit way before I plateau
People at the bottom like there ain't no other levels left
Been crabs in a bucket from as far as I could recollect
The smart kids always got the most flack
And niggas got more pussy if they sold the most packs
Ain't no time for bitching nigga best learn how to scrap
And if your chin made of glass you better watch the way you chat
There ain't no smut up on my pedigree
My elders made mistakes so I ain't mess up my own legacy
I'm bound for greatness and I'm stacking up the accolades
I found my way to college and my pops ain't even graduate
I flipped the script don't even tell me bout a cycle
Turning pain into passion, dedicated never spiteful
I did this all with blood sweat and tears shed for years and never lost a battle to my fears
So you can follow me
I'll take you to the top
And show you all the things that extend beyond your block
And if you got a dream that you could be a god
Then I'll show you how to give it everything that you got
So you can follow me
I'll take you to the top
And show you all the things that extend beyond your block
And if you got a dream that you could be a god
Then I'll show you how to give it everything that you got
So you can follow me
So you can follow me
My phone rings collect calls give me wisdom
As I recite bars to my heart stuck in prison
Was taken before I had him so I never got to miss him
Just a product of another home divided by the system
In all reality my life's a contradiction
Found a love for the street but never lost sight of my vision
I'm more than just a seed that was planted in the rubble
My roots proven strong how we overcame the struggle
From the slave ships of pillagers and rapists
Come the strongest people mankind has created
Always been a king that's my future and my past life
So since I'm bred from greatness ain't no stranger to what that's like
We come from royalty
Love respect and loyalty
I never had to question all the signs the Lord was showing me
I fought my demons off and kept my angels close to me
And found the path to everything that I'm supposed to be
This young excellence flow godly and heaven-sent
Do this for my people this ain't solely for my benefit
I came a long way and bore fruit from my passion
Including more truth in my rapping
So you can follow me
So you can follow me
So you can follow me
I'll take you to the top
And show you all the things that extend beyond your block
And if you got a dream that you could be a god
Then I'll show you how to give it everything that you got
So you can follow me
I'll take you to the top
And show you all the things that extend beyond your block
And if you got a dream that you could be a god
Then I'll show you how to give it everything that you got
So you can follow me
So you can follow me
