[Verse 1]

Yeah

No I'm not gonna lie, the come-up will take time

But I’m ready to work it because I got it in my mind

The only game I play is the long one

Getting better ever since that summer when I dropped my song one

I'm a genius and a mastermind, don't even try to question it

Me and Alex batting down the door cause they won’t let us in

I am not veteran and there is no accelerant

You can't have the answer without knowing what the question is

So where am I headed? Apparently it's downhill

Turn the lights out and strip me down to my crown jewels

You would just see chaos, and you would just see ruins

Try to build it back up but didn't know how to do it

Every day I'm messing up, every day I blew it

Fam is getting mad and I'm trying not to lose

But then I switched, now you see me moving

This is my time, lemme show you what I'm doin


[Verse 2]

I been waiting to go off, nah I'm not one to blow off

Any opportunity that’s gonna let me show off

No I know that I’mma have to change my number in a minute

Don't get mad if I don’t text back, nah I'm too busy winning

I been on the grind more than kids who like to sixty nine

I'll just have you know you ain't entitled to my time

I like to make them nervous, they start questioning my sanity

You can try to hate me but you’ll still end up a fan of me

Plan B? More like Plan A part two

Only real ones know what was before PartDeux

Maybe you think I should trust you, I think differently

I got a tight circle, no only God be fixing me

Missing me, I don't understand how that could happen

Cause I'm in and out, I'm only committed to this passion

I'll let you have your opinion, unless it's incorrect

You don't think that Harry's an angel, you're wack in the head

Don't even apologize, I swear that you're fine

I just won't stay around cause now you're wasting my time

I might get in trouble for what I'm saying now

But I can't hear the beat, and DNCE is playing now

But lemme take it back to a time where I did not believe in myself

Didn't expect to have anything, no woman, no wealth

I was in Pre-K, just memorizing Bible verses

Best in the class, could prolly spit a fire sermon

But these sexy ladies caught my eye and I couldn't resist

If sin's a university then I was a commit

Ever Since New York I was trapped in the net

They think I'm a man of God, I'm like you wanna bet??

August of Twenty Fourteen I started writing

Trash lyrics, helping me to stand up when I'm fighting

I never shared those with no one but Emma and Andi

Skip ahead a couple years, and then I started planning

I knew I'd have a time of Waiting before I could cut the lights

Had to clear my mind of these sexual sights

Had to get over all my little crushes

Felt like my feet were dragging so I had to get some crutches

But what am I ‘posed to do, when I'm drowning out in the blue? and

None of my family knew that I couldn't get through?

I needed something potent, I needed something knew

Need to rocket away like I'm 1KPhew

Out of context, it doesn't make sense

Interested to see what I hear from the rents

I feel like they could smell it on me but I guess not

The bittersweet taste of sin is making me rot

Time to fight my demons, that's what Brasel saying (yeah)

Time to grab the sword, there's a dragon that's needs slaying

Nah I don't dream anymore, I only have nightmares

But give me five more minutes and this time I will not fight fair

Beautiful days are ahead, I can see it, I can feel it

The proper change will never come if I don't be it

Developed some patterns, and I know the devil sees it

Looking for temptation, but now I gotta flee it

Support is great, but don't obsess, I don't need stans yet

I'm gonna take a year off, I ain't finished with my plans yet

I'm don't make it for you for anymore, I'm making it for me

So please do not expect anything more from NG

I'll sign before I'm taken, a feature will come with payment

I'm done acting humble, no I know that I'm amazing

Don't reassure me, let me say what I been saying

And I ain't gon' lie, yeah I know I'll be famous


[Verse 3]

Throw me to the wolves, without a single word

Do not watch my fight or even say my name

The only thing for you to do is wait and to pray

I'm wandering in the desert, I've been lost for some time

But when I emerge, I promise to you that I will be alive

I will be more free than ever before

Because I have given up on my own creation

“What is this creation?” you may want to ask

It was a veil

It was a mask

It was a shell that had kept me trapped for some time

But once I emerge, I will truly be alive

But right now, I am on a journey of faith

One that will turn my knowledge into belief

It is a journey to my heart, and it starts in my my head

And Stuart Clark is here

And Narrowgate is dead
