[Intro]

Yeah

(Turn it up)


[Verse 1]

I'm not tryin' to be no legend, I'm not a rapper

Just good with words, just want my flowers, the ashwagandha

To calm my nerves, I put in hour after hours

Before the deal, back when it was just me, Ry, Jimmy and Will

At the dojo, eighty-nineteen, we tip the scale

I've been livin' in my truth since 2012

I've been spittin' in the booth since I was milly mill'

Yellin', "free my nigga Preston", like Lupe and Chilly Chill

It was C-I double A, cold man's in my gear

I was backstage like I'm just a cashier

If I play my cards right, maybe this my last year

Even though it took five, hail a nigga right here, yеah

I don't take nothin' for granted

You reap what you sow and you plantin'

Somе days I just don't have the answer, but my feet, they solid

They planted 'cause this shit outstanding


[Chorus]

You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life

I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight

When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice

I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight

You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life

I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight

When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice

I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight


[Verse 2]

I used to be so naive in the beginning

The first that I got, the more I realize shit different, the pockets you watch

You should be payed on commission

This was my call and my intuition

Had to let go of the time and the hopeful wishin'

Watch my life unfold, like what a feelin'

Some days I be unapologetic

Some days I understand you won't get it

Never take it wrong when I'm distant

I've been workin' on myself for a minute

Hate when people say they want a part of me

But can't accept the me that I give 'em

My daughter gettin' older, so I'm livin'

If I could, I wouldn't do it any different

Money be the goal, not the mission

I hope that when you get older

You understand all the shit that I had sacrificed

Despite how they feel, I did all I could do

Just for you so that you have a better life


[Chorus]

You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life

I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight

When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice

I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight

You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life

I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight

When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice

I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight
