[Intro]

This what they wanted, huh?

This what they wanted, huh?

Mm ah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Fresh up out a deal

Man it's good to be back

Everybody get back

I've been playing it patient

I had my feet up, relaxed

Got out a contract clean

And I ain't tryna relapse

Told 'em all, "thanks for your help"

Now go and take a 50% split from somebody else

Learned a couple things this summer

I don't need a corporation, I could do it myself

I won't pivot

End of everybody's five minutes on the top floor

Clearing out the building like a plane about to hit it

Why would I complain about a critic?

I ain't hating

If that's how you feed your children

They ain't showing pity out here, I'm fine with it

I'm still getting busy out here, I thrive in it

She probably from the UK, way that I slide innit

I don't trust 'em if they too sweet, baby, I'm diabetic

Swimming with the sharks, beginning a new arc

I ain't playing by the rules

I'm twisting a few arms, weathered a few storms

In the tension, I'm too calm

I'ma get my lick back, no intention to move on

Always been a goat, it's my default

Thought I told ya, stupid ass, should've done your homework

Ran you out the game and you here tryna kick me some game

I can't fit in your shoes, it make my toes hurt

[Chorus]

Back from the dead, woke up

Hundred missed texts, got a bag to collect, hold up

Rockstar attitude, lacking respect, pull up

You don't want me to blow, why you act like we friends? No trust

Back from the dead, woke up

Hundred missed texts, got a bag to collect, hold up

Rockstar attitude, lacking respect, pull up

You don't want me to blow, why you act like we friends? No trust

[Verse 2]

I'm done with politickin' for a come up

Ain't kissing no ass just to get on a cover

Can't switch on my brothers, blood thicker than water

A different amount of this income is bound to test all our integrities

Well, I'm a scholar, my father a blue collar worker

He told me to go chase my dreams

Better still finish college

I did now I'm smarter

My paper is major and every obstacle I see is minor, yeah

There's a time to keep it humble

There's a time to play the offense

Time to celebrate a win

Time to reminisce on losses

There's a time to let y'all shine

A time to step in and take all of it

How could I be tripping when the next man blows?

I just study from a distance where the next man goes

Just so I could be prepared the way the next man won't

Y'all be acting like you colorblind when red flags show

[Bridge]

Fresh up out a deal

Man it's good to be back

Everybody get back

Took attendance and they not in my class

There's levels to this and I'm hard to get past

This is ten thousand hours to get a hundred thousand

I gotta count it, so if I'm short even a dollar

Promise we'll see about it

Made a pact with 2020 me before I snapped

And told myself that I would never go sad

[Chorus]

Back from the dead, woke up

Hundred missed texts, got a bag to collect, hold up

Rockstar attitude, lacking respect, pull up

You don't want me to blow, why you act like we friends? No trust

Back from the dead, woke up

Hundred missed texts, got a bag to collect, hold up

Rockstar attitude, lacking respect, pull up

You don't want me to blow, why you act like we friends? No trust
