Ain’t it funny how this shit work out?
Went from unemployed making nothing
To making it for myself, need something more
Lately I been fucking bored, where’s that silver lining
I been trying, reaching night in night out,
I been lights out, burning bridges guess it’s time to light that fire right now
I feel it burning, that turn had furnished a milestone
Wonder where my drive is tho, wonder how far I would go
Riding slow through the city lights
Any night, every night, switching lanes, getting hype
This some some serious shit
Waking up in cold sweats in December again
Another year and I ain’t changed much
More like day to day stuff
Baby steps, led me from my home and then I came up
And ain’t no looking back, why would I be doing that
Time to turn the blinders on, time to leave my pride at home
Now I started pushing back, scribble on a crooked pad
Writing till I find a zone, riding till my mind is…gone
Cause all I see around is green lights
You wanna stop it, then ya stepping to me
Everybody got opinions, telling me what being me’s like
But understand that you could never do that better than me,
(Better than me) Ain’t a single fucking person out here better than me (bitch)
Better than me, and ain’t a single fucking reason why I’d let you believe
You see me working, day in day out
It don’t change much
And these verses playing, lay out
Like a paint brush
This how I tell it all, until it’s nothing left
This shit is every song, every fucking breath
My resolution is a selfish one
Be better to yourself, and the people that instill in you hope
And do the shit you know you’ve never done
And when you finish then you pick up your folks
There ain’t a limit just go
Stop being timid and blow, this shit is written in stone
This is the feeling you’re feeling inside the pit of your bones
This is destiny calling you homie pick up your phone
Go be a hero, homie
You been staying in this place all your life
But it’s time to make a living homie
For all the nights you couldn’t sleep
And the days you couldn’t focus
The times you couldn’t eat
Every other meal was frozen
And you wanna be a baller, yeah, hear em saying tru, tru
Never gonna make it as another, homie do you
Cause all I see around is green lights
You wanna stop it, then ya stepping to me
Everybody got opinions, telling me what being me’s like
But understand that you could never do that better than me,
(Better than me) Ain’t a single fucking person out here better than me (bitch)
Better than me, and ain’t a single fucking reason why I’d let you believe
