[Intro]

It's like a pressure inside your soul

And it pushes up against your rib cage

Until you can’t breathe anymore

In all honesty, nothing really changed yet

But it all feels different, yeah

[Verse 1]

I kind of wish you could've heard the shit

That I've heard in the last 12 months

If you could hear how many people told me “don’t forget me”

‘Cause I met they ass like once, it's amazing

Better get used to that

More bread man, lemme get some soup with that

All business, lemme get the suits to match

But all-time mean you gotta make the music last, ayy

But where my muses at

I mean the real smart girls with the stupid asses

(Smart girls with the stupid asses)

Type who never late to class

But when that song started playing she got loose to that

And woke up in the City of Angels

(City of Angels)

Left her halo on the dresser

Sold her soul for the City of Angels

Left her home cuz her daddy wouldn't let her

(Let's go)

Everybody under pressure

Lemme put it on the record

Try to spot me like a leopard

I could drop ya like a leper

Lemme take a second

Tell you what I got up on my schedule

Winnin', forever on every level

(Forever on every level)

And I get it all ‘cause I need it

I only speak when I mean it

I really feel like I seen it though

Visions as big as the screen in the theater

Might lease the two-seater to see if I fit in the seats

Almost six-and-a-half when I step in the sneaks

So I'm lookin' above and the sky is descendin' on me

(Sky is descendin’ on me)

Don’t got time for what people pretendin' to be

I got too much dependin’ on me

Promises made I'm intending to keep

I been so far ahead of myself

I think I'm a descendant of me, evolution

This is Rookie of the Year

Cam Newton

I'll take the Heisman too

Yeah

Ayy, this shit is crazy man

[Bridge]

All I can do is explain to you what I was meant to do

All of your friends help you make ya decisions

Influence ya thinkin’, I'm thinkin' that we got a shot if we do it right anyway

Trust me, I hear what ya sayin'

[Verse 2]

I'ma do it all anyway

Keep ya two cents

Tell me how much a penny weigh

I think my people need somethin' to celebrate

I'm ‘bout to walk in the building and renovate

Most of these rappers ain't relevant

Hip-hop's the room, I just mentioned the elephant

(I just mentioned the elephant)

But where's the intelligence?

I see embellishment

I see a lack of development

I see a body that's lackin' a skeleton

I think I know what to do ‘bout it

Maybe this plane need a new pilot

Even though nobody wanna let go the controls though

(Nobody wanna let go)

‘Cause even if it crash

The news said its still a good show

Everybody watch now

No one ever shocked now

Land of the free but ya mind on lockdown

Mu'fuckas laugh when ya dreams get shot down

Standin' on a dirt pile thinkin' they on top now, ayy

Tried to wait for it

(Tried to wait for it)

Still buyin' shit I can't even pay for it, not yet

(Not yet)

But this sick like it wakes in a cold sweat

(Oh shit)

Let a rookie put the pro back in progress

(Progress)

Heard ‘em tell me “no rest for the weary”

(No rest)

So I'm grippin' on the wheel in the dark

And my vision gettin' blurry

(Oh yes)

Passin' yellow in the black like a tiger in Missouri

(ayy, ayy, ayy)

Told ‘em I'ma make it back and we gon' never have to worry

(Don't stress)

I'ma try to do it fast while I never try to hurry

(Woo)

Even when the words do

Might kill me but it's meant to encourage you

If you in the past swear I never meant to hurt you

But I'ma start

(I'ma start)

Fresh flow with an old-school soul

Never let ‘em know what ya hold

Show low

Cover marks on your heart that could rip you apart

(Ayy)

How you got everything bright and seen dark from the start?

How does that happen?
