Verse 1:

And I be working late nights on my laptop

I'm trying to innovate the game it's my blacktop

I got the city right behind me like a backdrop

Cause I be grinding and shining behind the back lot

They told me to me that my music wasn't good enough

I used to live for their approval when I had enough

Now it's fuel to the fire for me to light it up

Because whatever they say, it's not stopping me

They proud of me

It's ought to be

The God in me

I wasn't ever nominee

Got enemies, they try to stop my legacy

They envy me

Their friends but they pretend to be

I can't sleep until my music makes it number one

They said I'm odd, cause it's odd to be number one

I got to shoot my shot like if it's one on one

I ain't celebrating nothing until the deal is done

Chorus:

I got to get it for real, won't stop until I got it

When you go get it it's real

I had to take it on the road

Had to take it on the road

Hit the gas on the floor

Can't go with the motions, Got to keep it going

I gotta go, that's no cap

Verse 2:

If you got a dream, then you gotta keep it

Sometimes your dream is better left a secret

For me they probably still won't ever want to see a

Black boy king of Seattle, you know I'm trying to be it

I'm grinding everyday nonstop

I'm chasing the dream, like it's my full time job

Yeah I drop track, drop school but it's for a purpose

I'm so determined and focus to be the best for certain

Slept in the car, I couldn't get a motel

I'd rather have a pen than a pastel

Oh well, ring the bell, time will tell

I'll rather be in a jail cell, then rot in hell

Unpredictable moves just like a boxer

I'm protecting my goal as if I'm playing soccer

Is hip hop alive? I think it needs a doctor

Cause all these rappers be acting, trying to get an Oscar
