[Intro] (Kanye West)

My mother made me believe in myself

No matter how many people tell me :

"Stop believing in yourself"

"Stop saying what you can do"

"Stop affirming what you're going to do and then completing that in real life"

[Verse 1]

I think Stack Bundles did more for me than Jay-Z

And I learned a lot more from Wiz than Mr. 50

I'm way more Drizzy-er than Little Weezy

Wasn't for Curren$y i'd still try to get sign homie

Most of these rappers signin' deals, ain't really happy

Motherfuck they likes on IG they overhyped

See what they did to Bobby?

One day you sign a deal, next thing you know you're back in jail b

Shit is crazy, this rap game is really shiesty

And by the way this one is dedicated to my O.G's and my youngn's looking up to me

Look, stay in school, fuck skippin class b

I'mma tell y'all what a uncle told me

Every class you skip is like 10 grand you lose

I'm talking long-term wise

No need to be like all 'em street guys

Be wise and stay alive

Don't act like y'all don't wanna make y'all Mommas proud

Whoa!

Y'all got me on that "Green Week" flow

Back when I use to kill 'em all with that boom bap flow

Watch me come back on that wave like i'm Max B though

[Verse 2]

Got 'em all asking questions like : "What's coming up next?"

Cause they seein Klass and P' with all the mainstream connects

Tryna get me confused like i'm s'posed to be vexed

Well last time I checked, this was my career correct?

Why the fuck is y'all stressed for a nigga gettin checks?

When I'm the most consistent dude when it comes to projects

I've been doing this since '06, critics can't tell me shit

Playa haters, get off my dick

I'll never envy my brothers, when they winning, I'm winning

I mean the whole team is winning

And when we're winning y'all scheming

Nigga

This a whole different ball game

C.O.A.S.T. LIFE, team work like the Spurs mayn

I'm triple O.G, Tim Duncan

If I ain't top 5, you on coke mayn

Listen I do this shit for real

I'm 26, still livin

L-V-L knows what's the deal

Blowing up don't mean shit, if yo' family ain't even here

God willin, i'm a die a freaking legend over here

They call me a lot of names but can't call me lazy

I'm the only rapper left who's still reppin the city

What's the deal?

[Bridge] (x3)

I think Stack Bundles did more for than Jay-Z

[Outro] (Kanye West)

I refuse to follow those rules that society has set up

And the way that they control people with low self-esteem
