Smi - Set the Tone Lyrics

There's not anything I run from
Anyone can get some
The hottest bars roll off of my tongue
They think they know me they don't know me son

For my dreams I'm risking everything
Set myself up for success I'm everything you'll never be
Destined for greatness I propose it like a wedding ring
I've seen things that you won't believe
One day I swear I'll be the best you don't suppose I'll be
I only trust the ones that I keep close to me
Everything is right where it's supposed to be
They didn't see me coming now they know it's me
I been waiting for them to notice me
Now they can help but notice me

Now let me set the tone
Legend in the making it's been set in stone
They tryna derail my dreams boy go get your own
I'm Minnesota till I die Maplewood grown
When they couldn't see my vision had to get it on my own
The only person I'm competing with is my clone and we fight to death for the throne

Oh yeah it's on
Oh yeah they hate it
We gonna make it
I feel like I'm already home
Give me a second to wipe off my shoes
Get some greetings from the welcome mat
I been gone for a minute welcome back
The gossip is detrimental I do not welcome that

It's a new year
Same me let me make that real clear
I never changed just shifted a few gears
These people are fake I just can't relate
They might as well have tattooed tears
I ain't even close to being finished I got so much to do here

I knew I would get there just a matter of time
Success is the only ladder I climb
If you did me wrong not to worry I'm fine
I was spared of your presence you never wanted mine
I've met a million you's but I'm harder to find
Talented family so I guess that's part of my design

Uh
We the music family
Set it
Set it
Uh

Never gonna back down
My flow a lethal weapon it's bout to be a smack down
Hold up make some room clear a path now
They hated on me I let it marinate but who's got the laugh now?
I should roll with security I don't trust anyone they all get the pat down
No ones safe
I tongue whip the best of them
Haters love to talk like they David Letterman
As long as I been in the game might as well call me a veteran
I could name a hundred rappers I'm better than
Never let them dim my light I'm shining bright Thomas Edison

No way
There's just no way
I'll get blown away no not today
Outer space I'm moons away
They talk a lot but won't say it to my face

I destroyed this beat
And I ain't make it subtle
I'm a triple threat you all are in trouble
I been working overtime in the stu back to back doing doubles
About to blow like a bubble
Diamond in the rough I came up out of the rubble

That's it for now
Over it's a wrap
I handled that
Pass the torch I won't hand it back

I just set the tone
Oh yeah it's on
I set the tone
Spit it til I'll I'm gone
You gon miss me when I'm gone
Miss me when I'm gone yeah
