[Intro]

Yea

High Grade

Yea


[Chorus]

How I do it

Everyday they ask me how I do it

Random DMs askin’ how I do it

Even my boss had to ask me how I do it


[Verse 1]

Key insight it’s way bigger than music

It’s been my calling since the umbilical cord

Went from college graduate to sleepin’ on the kitchen floors

Many plenty nights when I ain’t wanna live at all

I ain’t like my dealt hand beg the Lord “give me board” (let me board)

He did that - Airplane Mode after that

Cruisin’ altitude but mentally still liftin’ off

Stay cookin’ and they stay dippin’ in my secret sauce

The way I split my lives like the boy a gemini

I’m killin’ two jobs I might double jeopardize

Quick diligent plus I love to stay meticulous

Working from home made the whole thing ridiculous

Final output leave ‘em all mesmerized like

“Yo this a lot!” Don’t trip take your time

Movin’ through the cut like hydrogen peroxide

Mountains in my way is just excuse to rock climb

Opps lookin’ at me like they tryna dot I

My crossed T tho got ‘em lookin’ cross-eyed

Fans say I’m bout to blow so look at how we count time

3-2-1 like I’m movin’ counterclockwise


[Chorus]

How I do it

Everyday they ask me how I do it

Random DMs askin’ how I do it

Even my boss had to ask me how I do it


[Verse 2]

Well don’t overthink it - overdo it

I keep my mind hotter than thermometer fluid

Ain’t like I never been depressed a little

Sometimes to move forward gotta regress a little

Movin’ too fast gotta reassess the dribble

Lot of wifey lovin’ help me destress a little (ayyy)

If you feelin’ this how real is this (what?)

Blue check but wasn’t born legitimate

Reborn turnt innocent - well in a sense

Break the family trend gotta listen to inner sense

In the pew no hope still had joy clappin’

Now we double income no kids ya boy snappin’

95% of my moves is deliberate

That’s why they call me Ace they know who they dealin’ with

If I say no to who I don’t know and they speak in anger

Good - I set expectations with strangers

Left-handed but my ways the opposite

They never heard these words before I’m a novelist

Vision so clear they say I’m a optimist

But when the actions match the passion this the consequence


[Chorus]

How I do it

Everyday they ask me how I do it

Random DMs askin’ how I do it

Even my boss had to ask me how I do it


[Outro]

How I do it

I don’t know
