So if you wanna be great you gon' have to be able to go on
A whole live instrumentation, you feel me?
I said it, let's go
Come on
Turn my vocals up
Bring my vocals more to the front, uh
Yeah, this shit is like
Everything and more you can ask in a single verse
(Thank the Lord)
You gotta remember no matter where you at
Shitt could always be worse
(Oh, what a time)
Toast for the better, livin' better
Men lie, woman lie, numbers stay stuck
All my ops unified, I wish 'em all luck
Nobody's untouchable, still I never been touched (never)
Ain't no chinks in my armor, not even a scuff
I scour the whole game in these Cartier buffs
How the fuck could I complain, my nigga? Just look at us
Trips down memory lane, we took the bus
Now we gettin' escorts to the plane, we way up
Yesterday's price ain't tomorrow's, gotta pay up (yeah)
Said my stock like a teenage cock, it stays up
Knowing that my time is borrowed, so I stay prayed up (uh)
My pockets got ock, guess I got my weight up (weight)
Overtime I learned to move smarter with this paper (facts)
'Cause when I had my daughter, yo, that was a wake up (facts)
529B for my lil' baby, Indigo Rain
Already six figures in her name, shit crazy
What's the aftermath God? Niggas get shady (uh-huh)
We gon' see who get to laugh last, they tryna play me
My lifestyle a movie, I'm feelin' like Scorsese (yeah)
s*xy like Swayze, just a bit more wavy (right)
Catch me in a 'Cedes, dirty dancin' witcha lady (right)
And she threw it like Brady, really how could you blame me?
Niggas can't relate so they hate me (uh)
That's why I keep the Glock by the waist, there's no safety lately
Gotta stay dangerous 'cause niggas takin' aim at us
Papparazzi tryna spot me sloppy on the cameras (uh-huh)
But I see the bigger picture, I set the parameters (right)
And anyone who beg to differ, I smoke 'em like cannabis
You amateurs can't handle us, trust me they ain't finna blow (nah)
They just really fans of us
They just think I didn't know
I see them hide behind the critics and the analysts (uh)
They get to talking scandalous when they ain't understandin' us
But I'm a seasoned veteran, always get the upperhand (right, yeah)
Niggas goin' nowhere fast doin' the runnin' man
Joggin' in place with they feet up on the brakes
Tryna expand, but stay the same size like rubberbands
In the meantime I rose like the Son of Man (yeah)
Shine like stunna man
Looked out for all my pros, forever my brother them
Even if they all became cons in the end I would do it all again
No hesitation, it taught me patience
Brought me many revelations that I'll be takin'
On this path that I'm blazin'
This top position that I'm now embracin' (right)
Could give a fuck about the praising, bitch, I know I'm God
I'm half man, half amazin', I defy the odds
Leader of my generation, down to die for the cause
We all fight inner wars, hidin' invisible scars (right)
Legend in the makin', these bars was written in the stars
(Yeah, legend in the makin', these bars was written in the stars)
(Legend in the makin', these bars was written in the stars)
God
Thank the Lord
Grateful for this abundance that we receive
Every day that we breathe
For the new opportunities, the new lessons
New blessin's, no stressin'
Yeah
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Right
That's right
Men lie, woman lie, numbers stay stuck
You might get hurt (what?)
Mh, through the soul with ease
Move at Godspeed
Cheers, my niggas can y'all hear me out there?
Can y'all hear me out there?
It's all right now
'Member I told y'all it's all right now
It used to be us all fucked up, nah, it's all right
Yeah, let's go up, congratulations
To my lil' brother the baddest, you know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, you in your bop now, kid
Ayy, yo, they'll never be like us, yo
Ayy, yo, we come from that dirt, that fuckin' concrete
You know what I'm sayin'?
New York niggas gotta start actin' like New York niggas again
It's all right, everybody get lost, you know what I'm sayin'?
Congratulations to the top
Never stop, love
