[Intro: Maxsta]

Yeah Yeah

[Verse 1: Maxsta]

Look I been a hotstepper since '07

Shower man jacket since '08

In '09 I was smoking lemon

'010 got stabbed but I was OK

'012 when I first got a deal

'013 I put mummy on flights

'014 I nearly lost my life

Tryna duck from fed

I spun that whole right

'016 started producing tracks

'018 Maxtape produced dat

Whole time had the haters say I'm trash

Whole time had his baby mudda on smash

Whole time had to learn from all the L's

Whole time had to put food on the scales

I've got thru' the fuckery with nothing but patience

Determination

[Chorus: Maxsta]

Determination

Give a fuck about niggas

But I even got bitches hatin'

Big celebration

Cut thru' the storm on my ones

Mask gone like Jason

Determination

Gotta work harder

Smart; I gots to move faster

Big up the pagans

'Cah they never get nada

Just chattin' that blabla

[Verse 2: Yizzy]

Trus' me

What you really know bout Determination?

Everybody said get a day shift

Had a couple bruddas tellin' me

"Face it! You ain't gonna make it!"

Cold blooded. Why dey wanna stake it?

I treat my tunes like I saw a gal with big back

You 're gonna watch us walk pass

Wow me I'm gonna chase it

Yo spit bars so dey know I'm on track

Back in school, I ran tracks so I chased it

What do you know about having 20 pound in your socks

So none of these road bruddas can take it?

My dreams ain't simple or basic

And they hate it

Cus I was tryna bring Grime to live

With all the money from my 9 to 5

So u know I had to hustle for a wage lift

[Chorus: Maxsta]

Determination

Give a fuck about niggas

But I even got bitches hatin'

Big celebration

Cut thru' the storm on my ones

Mask gone like Jason

Determination

Gotta work harder

Smart; I gots to move faster

Big up the pagans

'Cah they never get nada

Just chattin' that blabla

[Verse 3: Tommy B]

'09 I watched Scratchy and Footsie clash

That's when I discovered my calling

'011 had my first puff on the zoot

That's when I lost interest in ballin'

'013 I lost my V in the park

Don't know how it happened with that small thing

'015 I stopped fucking around with bars

That's when I decided to go all in

2017 I took a turn for the worse

Bare drinking, blazing and snorting

Turned 18 and I got sober

Started climbin' not fallin'

From then I ain't had no breaks no pausin'

Funnily enough drama I stopped causin'

I got patience

Determination

So I don't have to forfeit (never)

[Chorus: Maxsta]

Determination

Give a fuck about niggas

But I even got bitches hatin'

Big celebration

Cut thru' the storm on my ones

Mask gone like Jason

Determination

Gotta work harder

Smart; I gots to move faster

Big up the pagans

'Cah they never get nada

Just chattin' that blabla

[Verse 3: Manga Saint Hilare]

Think becus I'm in a crew I had bare help

I had to pat on all da tings myself

I never had a label

I never been signed

I put all the songs myself

I never had an agent

I never got booked

So I had to put on all the shows myself

A lot of men never liked me for no reason

I used to blame it all on myself

I worked to the cause I was dope

I ain't working for nobody else

I got stuff that I never gotta get done

And the only op is myself

They don't love

It don't affect me

True love is the love for thyself

They don't love; I make them hate me

Keep on clarting when all else fails

[Chorus: Maxsta]

Determination

Give a fuck about niggas

But I even got bitches hatin'

Big celebration

Cut thru' the storm on my ones

Mask gone like Jason

Determination

Gotta work harder

Smart; I gots to move faster

Big up the pagans

'Cah they never get nada

Just chattin' that blabla
