[Intro]

Ayy, 2000 EST

Where I'm from?

Ayy, where I'm from?

O-C-O-E-E

[Chorus]

Put my head down to the ground, know this ain't as big as it gets

Holdin' my horses, I had to sit down, I was trippin' and takin' a risk

Just 'cause the time runnin' down on the clock, know that don't mean that you gotta blitz

Just chill and be patient, keep workin' on you and you'll see that thing comin' in quick

[Verse 1]

Ayy, but most of 'em quit

Before they see fruits of the labor, not me, 'cause I put too much work in the switch

Had to write that thing down on some paper, ain't no turnin' back, my dawg, this is it

I ball, Mariano Rivera, I'm good where I'm at, I've been workin' my pitch

Bein' the answer to prayers from people is better than findin' a niche

I need me somebody with so many layers, a lot of these women be—

Surface, baby, what's your purpose?

I wanna give you the world, but you gotta show me you're worth it

I do not care how you twerkin', I wanna see how you worship, yeah, uh

And how do you act when we open the door and we leavin' the churches?

It's crazy how everything workin'

How could You take all my burdens?

Lord, I know that I ain't perfect

But when I go back to my dawgs, they see a whole different person

No, I don't care what they sayin', no, I don't care if they chirpin'

That's for the birds

Old me, like Usher, I wouldn't let it burn

People around me, I had to discern

Everyone act like they love you, they takin' they turn

Respect is what you gotta earn

Enemy lyin', get sprayed like a germ

He had to resign, we cuttin' his term

And G-O-D went set me straight like a perm

Now I ride with the Shepherd, I ride with the herd

(I really don't care what you heard)

[Chorus]

Put my head down to the ground, know this ain't as big as it gets

Holdin' my horses, I had to sit down, I was trippin' and takin' a risk

Just 'cause the time runnin' down on the clock, know that don't mean that you gotta blitz

Just chill and be patient, keep workin' on you and you'll see that thing comin' in—

[Verse 2]

Can't you see how we comin' in?

Can't you see how we comin' in?

Got the Kingdom with me, yeah, that's my only government

Ain't removin' my covenant

Is it wrong I just wanna see all my brothers win?

Can't you see what we up against?

Went through trauma, that drama that might not come up again

See a problem, we runnin' in

Like it was a fire or somethin', the way that we wired is different than all of the rest

When you go higher and higher, it's crazy how everyone hittin' you up with a text

Now they sayin' I'm hot like a lighter, don't miss, but I 'member, back then, wasn't hittin' the net

I've been chasin' the spirit, not chasin' the check

Went and got me a cure for the fear and the stress

Know they upset, they see me skippin' a step

When I look back, don't want no regrets, so I just—

[Chorus]

Put my head down to the ground, know this ain't as big as it gets

Holdin' my horses, I had to sit down, I was trippin' and takin' a risk

Just 'cause the time runnin' down on the clock, know that don't mean that you gotta blitz

Just chill and be patient, keep workin' on you and you'll see that thing comin' in quick
