So naive, so hardheaded
This thing y'all do is cute but its time now to grow up & forget it
All I get from friends & familia it's too familiar
Wanna see me shirt & tie hit rush hour and climb the pillar
But I wanted to flex, dawg I wanted to stunt
Get the money the cars the clothes the hoes and everything that I want
My idols flooded they charm had my dad's salary on they arm
Mad appeal to a kid in a trailer home surrounded by nothin' but farms
I wanna stack it, stack it, then stack it some more
I wanna throw it, throw it, shake that ass on the floor
I wanna ball, college don't pay time to go pro
I was sheltered, too much I ain't know
Dropped outta college to go get my hustle on my fam just survives
Father crushed he said do you think your mother & I really love our lives
Then I knew somethin ain't right, more than the money I realize
I gotta do my thing and fill my heart dawg I won't compromise
Go to work and then ya die
They told me to fall in line
I'ma live how I decide
I don't make no compromise
No I don't make no compromise
Boy like me ain't supposed to ball
Boy I don't hear none of y'all
Told you I'ma have it all
I don't make no compromise
No I don't make no compromise
My whole life wastin' time I need fresh air
My whole life everywhere I go I don't mesh here
I'm 26 and all the directions I've now picked
They all got me sick, don't know how they led here
It took me so long to find myself, even longer to be myself
Even longer than that to say enough's enough and go free myself
From keepin' up with Joneses, checkin' Instagram with no focus
And spendin' every dollar I make to go show everyone I'm the dopest
If this phone don't ding today I can't survive
If I don't hit the mall before the club I can't arrive
If I don't do what's expected of me I know I can't thrive
I gotta keep the TV on and keep the lie alive
Nah, f*ck that, I ain't no picket fence dreamer
Been had hoes in the Nissan I'm straight if I don't get the Beamer
Low pro head honcho I'm a hell bent late night schemer
And I'ma do my shit regardless if you ever become believers
Go to work and then ya die
They told me to fall in line
I'ma live how I decide
I don't make no compromise
No I don't make no compromise
Boy like me ain't supposed to ball
Boy I don't hear none of y'all
Told you I'ma have it all
I don't make no compromise
No I don't make no compromise
