[Intro]

What you know about the self-esteem

Been lower than baselines (lower than baselines)

Been doing this 15 years

I know this shit don' take time (yeah, take time)

Y'all just whine too much

I heard that through the grapevine (y'all just whine)

I ain't no sheep, I'm trying to be a shepherd

That's word to the canine (hoo)


[Verse 1]

I don't need a bad little thing

I don't do them shanks and shivs

I don't need no brick

To be on point like a pyramid (word)

I shine like neons had nothing to lean on

Only child but I didn't have freedom

That's that devil cage that broke dreams from

Yeah

I burn 'n' blazed, tornado, came a firе

Was around on Jim Carrey's liar liar

Don't pretend just to bеat them

I been facefirst with them demons

Work late nights, where y'all dreamin'

Nine-to-fiving, like machining

Mr. Robot 'til my nose drop

I keep my own spot on that cement, damn


[Chorus]

What you know about the self-esteem

Been lower than baselines (lower than baselines)

Been doing this 15 years

I know this shit don' take time (yeah, take time)

Y'all just whine too much

I heard that through the grapevine (y'all just whine)

I ain't no sheep, I'm trying to be a shepherd

That's word to the canine (hoo)

(Work)

I'm always putting that (work)

Until my head in that (dirt)

Until I'm the champ like (Durk)

Roll up with the weightless (work)

I'm always putting that (work)

Until my head in that (dirt)

Until I'm the champ like (Durk)


[Verse 2]

What you know about that deep

What you know about that seabed

Everybody got something to say, you line up who

The floor gon' ooze, y'all don't wanna make me see red

Every label wanna label me but I ain't stuck up

For a buck, what

You better fuck up before I bust up

That's a quick nut for my come up

Til' I'm dead in my grave I write rhymes

Y'all ain't even seen me up in my prime

This is MJ, the rookie, the proof's in the pudding

I still made waves while I was on the shore, snookie

I'm better with venom, I let 'em remember, yeah, every bite

(Do do) When I move, man I smooth, yeah with every slight

(Do do) Every hit that I took was another fight

I ain't got time to sleep, no lullaby


[Bridge]

They don't wanna, they don't wanna

They don't wanna see me rise

I'm in their targets

They looking for the snipe

They don't wanna, they don't wanna

They don't wanna see me alive

But the dark was

Where I learned to shine


[Chorus]

(Work)

I'm always putting that (work)

Until my head in that (dirt)

Until I'm the champ like (Durk)

Roll up with the weightless (work)

I'm always putting that (work)

Until my head in that (dirt)

Until I'm the champ like (Durk)

Roll up with the weightless (work)

I'm always putting that (work)

Until my head in that (dirt)

Until I'm the champ like (Durk)

Roll up with the weightless (work)

I'm always putting that (work)

Until my head in that (dirt)

Until I'm the champ like (Durk)
