Looked up to my idols

Thought them niggas was gods, my right hand on that Bible

This life gon' take yo ammunition, them bullets out of that rifle

Been daydreamin' bout rings, nobody takin' my title

Verse 1

Ain't feelin' that

'cause yo heart sayin' you made it, that confidence is inflated

You workin' hard for that praise, just to get it degraded

Lost in Frankie Beverly's Maze, man yo rhymes lookin' outdated

Take my advice, I'm feelin' like, you gotta stick to yo basics

What you know best, square one and make plans to hit that next spot

No big chains, fresh drop in yo present

But they recognizin' yo presence, them mixtapes is yo message

And they listenin', strangers support yo craft

Got no time to get gassed though

Day job for that gas dough,'cause payin' the bills get real

You come home to yo seeds, they need time and they need meals

Like Daddy, go spit that real, rock them stages to get that deal

Get rid of that pride first, 'cause this business divine cursed

Them groupies define thirst, end up like Jevon Kearse

Raided, but you can't hate it when you panty-line worshippin'

Picturin' contracts, write ya name in cursive when

Radio bumpin' yo shit, people see you in person 'n

Scream, endorsements out the ass, face up on the screen

Man that's what you get for chasin' down ya dreams, for chasin' down ya dreams

Chorus

Came to win it, my time n' imma spend it

Ain't no guarantees, nigga nothin' is infinite

These rappers ain't no gods, be a man about yo limits

Runnin' man pass GO, n imma catch you at the finish

Man I chase

Verse 2

Bullshit in yo past, stay focused on yo present

Make big moves off definites, yall strike out w/ that guessin

I feel like a villain in essence cause

I use yall struggles, and yall pain

For my song topics, my gain

But that shit mine too

Most of y'all been lied to, n expect to fail

To be the next nigga in jail

Cocked up what I got locked up

Got a microphone and I spit like hell

Javelin, discus, they throwin' shit at my business

All I wanted was a better whip and some free time on my wish list

Huh, I love when they dismiss these messages I be kickin' out

Just quit announce that you movin' on, quick to bounce to my newest song

Step into these 13s, handle all my pride

Holdin' back my vision, this motivation inside

I grind long as I'm livin', but I'm still takin' my time

My mind tellin' me wait for it, my watch says about time

Game over

Chorus
