[Verse 1]

10 years in, how you tryna lil' bro me?

I am not the One, but I am the one and only

Sharper than a tack, you slower than molasses

You pose for the 'gram, I'm tryna compose classics

They be in the mall tryna get a girl number

I be in the stu' tryna kill 'em all Summer

We are not the same, I'm a different type of animal

I been up for days, got unprecedented stamina

I don't need the Mary, I'm already elevated

Dressin' like a thug but I'm hella educated

Readin' at a college level in the fifth grade

Coulda went AP, well, um, hey

What you're lookin' at is young David in the flesh

They done messed around and let me get up off the bench

You're thinkin' it's a given that Goliath gon' be winnin'

But I ain't lettin' up, this is full court press

[Hook]

I ain't goin' back now

I done came too far to back down

I ain't goin' back now

I done came too far to back down, yeah

[Verse 2]

Putting poetry to potent production

I was the one that they said would be nothin'

I was the one that they said would be nothin'

I'ma be great it ain't up for discussion

Pockets is empty, I'm feelin' the hunger

I think it's time that I run up the numbers

This ain't a game, this as real as it gets

If I do it I'ma be the best, ya

I'ma buy my momma a house

I don't care what none of you say

Everything I want I'ma have

I won't let 'em get in the way

I remember when I used to hit you up

And I would never get replies

Got it poppin', now you really friendly with me

Dawg, I see through the disguise

[Hook]

I ain't goin' back now

I done came too far to back down

I ain't goin' back now

I done came too far to back down, yeah

[Verse 3]

I been overlooked and underestimated for too long

I'm the rapper that your favorite rapper probably stealin' from

Teacher said I would be nothin'

Hmm, I bet I prove her wrong

Don't be mad because your children know the words to every song

Everyboy lookin' thirsty, they do anything for likes

Take a selfie, all a sudden you a model overnight

I don't care about what's trending, I don't feed into the hype

Man, I think it's 'bout that time to bring the BS to the light

Used to hang my head low, now I'm pokin' out my chest

I don't really do this often, please excuse me while I flex

Back in 1998, momma gave birth to a legend

Told 'em that I gotta get it, now I came back for my seconds

I'm tired of sparin' they feelings, it's waste of my energy

They be callin' me fam, but really ain't none of 'em kin to me

I don't trust anybody, man, I don't know your intentions

No, you cannot get a retweet, a like, not even a mention

Get out my face

[Outro]

This the part where I just hit the kill switch

I got hella problems that I'm tryna deal with

If you feel offended, sorry for the realness

Spit it so hard that an amputee can feel this

18, guess it's time to become the man now

You can stay seated homie, I'ma stand out

Live and direct from the 973

This ain't rappin' this committin' homicide over beats

Call 911!

I don't plan on stoppin' no time soon

Everybody claimin' that they got the wave

But what's a wave to a freakin' typhoon?

They say when you independent you end up earning all your pennies the harder way

Somebody tell these jokers that I didn't come this far to go sign it all away

Yeah
