[Intro: A-Reece]

Damn!, it's about to get nasty

(Ambitious)


[Pre-Chorus: Emtee]

I've been praying everyday

Lord, please make a way

Man, I been through the pain

Now the people know my name


[Chorus: Emtee]

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in


[Verse 1: A-Reece]

Some of y'all rapping like y'all still got something to prove

I got over that so you know

I don't like rappers who say they got next

When they've been in the game for 10 years or so

Impressed by the fact that you fake niggas famous

You keep finding ways with them favours

Frankly, I'm far from complainin'

The faster you make it, the quicker you fall

Nigga face it, I'm finally buzzin'

I was 15 rappin' like I was 20 or somethin'

By 2014 I had all of your favourites frustrated

Confused and afraid of the youngin'

So, allow me to formally reintroduce myself

Man, I done changed, A-Reece the name

I'm getting bigger and better than how you thought I would remain

A whole other lane

With the same ass pace, I'm patient

No mistakes are made

I pray my haters age up to a hundred

Just so they can witness me fuck up the game

Rearrange it again, again and again


[Pre-Chorus: Emtee]

I've been praying everyday

Lord, please make a way

Man, I been through the pain

Now the people know my name


[Chorus: Emtee]

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in


[Verse 2: A-Reece]

This shit right here make Somizi go straight

This shit right here makes tomorrow today

Fuck up your plans, make your album delay

What more can I say?

Ambitiouz done scooped a nigga at his lowest

Fam, everybody sleeping, finally woke up

Fam, man this time I really need to focus

I'm tryna be considered as the GOAT

Speak under oath like I already knew I'm the shit, for real

You got to admit I'm cold as it gets

I'm colder than June 25th

For real, I just got a deal

Why you acting like that ain't such a big deal?

Let's be honest, I'm a problem in this game

You rappers ain't the same, you changed the way you rap

Your beat selection is in fact inspired by the boy

Congratulations, you're employed

I ain't dependin' on nobody here but myself

And if I put an album out I swear

It's gon' be everywhere but the shelf


[Pre-Chorus: Emtee]

I've been praying everyday

Lord, please make a way

Man, I been through the pain

Now the people know my name


[Chorus: Emtee]

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in


[Verse 3: A-Reece]

I guess when you broke you get bitter

Start throwing shade at the winners

But how can you blame me?

I've been eating peanut butter and jelly for dinner

I guess, I'm here just tryna get rich and then

Move outta my mama crib

I mean, I'm getting older and not any younger like Benjamin Button, you dig?

I guess people are quick to forget

They love you, they hate you and love you again, I know

And some of you niggas who get on your knees and pray that I never excel

I guess you gon need a whole other prayer

'Cause yes, I'm winning I'm doing so well

I just checked out my mail and man it's a movie

We moving, I wish I could share, oh yeah

I done went silent and gave y'all a year to prepare

Sit back and just look at me run some shit

Don't worry 'cause down at the bottom I tell you there's plenty of company


[Pre-Chorus: Emtee]

I've been praying everyday

Lord, please make a way

Man, I been through the pain

Now the people know my name


[Chorus: Emtee]

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't (Oh, Lord)

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't? (Oh, Lord)

Look at the work that I put in
