Yea, yea, yea

Woah, woah, woah

Ok

Yea, yea, yea

Woah, woah, woah

Alright, look

Each and every obstacle I'm stoppin' em all

Women stop and stare when I walk in the mall

Brand names, you rockin' em all

I ring in the new year without droppin' the ball

Nah, I dribble it, cross up a little bit

Bars to melodies, don't know who you dealin' wit'

It's a lot like a dealership

I might just hit a donut on some Dilla shit

My mind is thinkin' 'bout the slums and the villages

How we got billionaires but children with no dinner? It's...

What more can I say?

Make me a billionaire, I'm giving half of it away

500 Ms got a nice ring to it

If my pinky finger naked I'mma put a ring to it

Pure water, that's fluid, if I'm ever gonna do it

Play my music where you at I bet they gonna sing to it like

This a way - that a way

Me and pops would hit the movies when it's matinee

Saving money cuz he remembers his saddest days

Yet I'm right back at the movies on the Saturday

Blowing dollars we just saved, but I was a good kid

If I ever needed some advice then I took his

Don't you go broke just tryna look rich

Count your blessings, one day they could switch!

This was way before life on the internet

Before Famous Players turned Cineplex

All the kids used to play out on the street

Before the lights came on

We ain't even had dinner yet

Before sliding in DMs

We was outside on slides AM to PM

Books would just sit up in my bag barely read em

Couple years later see 50, wish I could be him

Rap dreams

I was a teen when I got into it

I knew sooner or later that I gotta do it

I move calculated put my thought into it

Greatness is in store, yea I bought into it

Hitting buckets with the shot I'm shooting

I see a lot of talking not a lot of movement

If you preach it then you gotta prove it

Way too many teachers not a lot of students

I can tell most of y'all don't read

I lowkey am hoping that y'all don't breed

I don't need people I probably won't please

I don't need nobody to control me

I don't need validation from trophies

Yea it would be nice but I got self-love baby

I throw roses at my own feet

You hoping I'll be stagnant but I won't be

I'm married to my vision and I'm never getting cold feet

Walk up to the mirror - look closely

A lot of y'all egos wide awake but your soul sleep

Go deep for once

You'd be surprised what you become

Used to

Rap for fun but now I rap like I'm the one

I can see the bullets move slow motion from the gun

After all my world tour runs

I'mma bring it home where it all begun:

Square One

That's right

After all my world tour runs

I'mma bring it back home where it begun:

Square One

I said

After all my world tour runs

I'mma bring it home where it all begun

Cuz

Lately I've been reminiscing

Cuz I've been having premonitions

I see them when I sleep at night

I look up to the sky, it'll be alright

I write letters

Dear self, please remember

This life is borrowed, and your day might be tomorrow

Who would've known that this life is a loan?

And the debt is paid back when I finally come home

Living life better when I think about the end

Even though society would rather us pretend

That life will just extend

I flipped the script and went and turned death into a friend

Really had to make amends

On my mind it weighs a tonne

Leaving a legacy when it's all said and done

After all my world tour runs

I'mma bring it back home where it begun

Square one
