[Verse]

Since a kid, I manifested everything that's in my life

Only time will tell to make it right

Had to make some time to live my life

Still remain the same, never switched the game

Switching lanes through the city lights

Pray to Jesus Christ; I remember nights asking God, "What’s the key to life?"

On the train to Raleigh, Mama used to call me

I was catching flights, missed my calling twice

But still ended up where I’m s’posed to

Evеn lost some people I was closе to; the love lost made my music soulful

When the stars align, I be in alignment

Diamond in the rough, but I’m still shinin'

Often blindin'

Heart got some flaws but I’m thrivin'

Showing up for those when I was just survivin'

Showing up for those when I was just survivin'

'Cause I was sinking in depression

Thinking, "Damn I’ll never rap again"

And I would hit you line not to bug you, I’m just tappin' in

Hoping for some words just to get a nigga back agian

Can’t be transparent 'cause niggas treat me like that rapper friend

So who the fuck gon' save you when a nigga at his lowest end?

But I ascend through your rose-colored lens

Niggas preying for your plot; it’s kinda cringe, shit

But still, it’s all love by extend

It was me, God, a couple YouTube beats and a pen

My shit was au-thentic; niggas wouldn’t ride behind no trend

Like, fuck them doors that niggas wouldn’t let us in

Like, fuck them doors that niggas—

(Aight, aight)

Shit, vet all white like Falcor

Bought a sports car just to get out of the house more

Introverted so I never had to outsource

When you pray to God, you receive what you ask for

Live fast, die young—nigga, life's short

Walked through some doors

Like, "Damn, what’s the hype for?"

Niggas gatekeeping; again, I asked, "What's the hype for?"

Don’t let them psych you out of walking through the right doors

This type of life cost me a arm and a limb

Niggas wanna see you do better, but never better than them

They know you precious, so be careful ‘bout who you calling a friend

They know you pressure 'cause it’s levels and who am I to pretend?

Nigga, I’m like that
