Yeah yeah

Yeah

Yeah yeah

Ayy

Uhh

VERSE 1

Homie I been working round the clocks

The fans know my stuff really knocks

My bars hot like 0 degrees

But I go over heads like the equinox

I pack heat like the outback

But I’m still cold like antarctic

I make moves like a chess game

But I conceal them like a war tactic

I’m just as real as a human death

And Y’all fake it all like an actress

You get more attention than a newborn

And I’m slept on like mattress

My heart froze beyond zero

I got a bone to pick with that cupid

It’s not me who’s too complex

It’s just you who’s just too stupid

Now the flows I’m kicking is an understatement

To be calling such fantastic

The way I bring the ether got them all thinking

I’m the man that made Illmatic

So deep inside my bag

Haven’t had proper sleep in like days

I don’t ever settle homie I stay on course

And I keep hitting the team with new plays

It’s no wonder that we can’t lose now

I ain’t made it yet I can’t snooze now

I got way too much happening to be depressed

So I can’t tie up that noose now

Wack artists still getting shine

I wonder when I’m gonna get mine

The world doesn’t care about the real

And it’s really troubling my mind, damn

CHORUS

I done seen a lot of people getting recognition

That they don’t deserve

(That they don’t deserve,)

I done seen a lot of people with a legacy

That is not preserved

(that is not preserved,)

I done seen a lot of underrated people

That do not know their worth

(That don’t know their worth)

I done seen enough that don’t get enough credit

For their freaking work

(For their freaking work,)

But fam It won’t be long

(It won’t be long)

It won’t be long

(It won’t be long)

It won’t be long

(It won’t be long)

It won’t be long

(It won’t be long)

(It won’t be long)

It won’t be long

(It won’t be long)

It won’t be long

(It won’t be long)

It won’t be long

(It won’t be long, Nah)

VERSE 2

One man to another homie

There’s a major difference between us both

One man to another homie

You’re the type of people that I really loathe

They overwhelmed by my ability

I ain’t even jogging but I run game

They so impressed by my freaking age

But I’m unimpressed by they pen game

And I’m past all of these simpletons

The top is near homie I can smell it

I’m probably one of the best out

Well, That’s at least if you let R.I.Z.E tell it

Ain’t nobody really pushing me

The closest person to me would be Nene K

If you ain’t him then you’re trash homie

What the hell else am I supposed to say?

I’m back to back to back to back with legends

I could give a damn about my peers

Please don’t be treating me like I’m a freshman

Because I been at this for a couple years

Even the OGs treat me like I’m one of them

They trynna name anyone younger who’s close

But they can’t seem to find none of them

They all sound the same like a Homonym

The culture ain’t gon’ die aas long as I’m still here

Still got the drive bro Imma shift gears

With my own hands, I’m finna steer the whole game into change

While wrecking careers

They finna underrate me like this

How dare they berate me like this

Swear to God these niggas won’t last that long

So they won’t forever treat me like this

CHORUS

I done seen a lot of people getting recognition

That they don’t deserve

(That they don’t deserve,)

I done seen a lot of people with a legacy

That is not preserved

(that is not preserved,)

I done seen a lot of underrated people

That do not know their worth

(That don’t know their worth)

I done seen enough that don’t get enough credit

For their freaking work

(For their freaking work,)
