[Part I]


[Chorus]

Yeah, if I did it, then I did it right (Yes), yeah

This ain't happen for me overnight (No),yeah

Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Woo), yeah

Down to business, I ain't playin' nice (Ayy), yeah

So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight, yeah

When you poppin', they all want a slice (They want a slice), yeah

Greed and envy, that's a part of life, yeah

Mediocre, that just won't suffice


[Verse 1]

Better now than ever

Ain't no crackin' under pressure, the boy is clever

If I did it, it was stellar, nobody fresher

Stop complainin', man, my head hurts, these catchy records

Ain't nothin' really (Woo) but a walk in a park for me

Heard the catalog, you know I got some scars on me (You know)

Just gettin' started, you don't really wanna start with me (Start with me)

It's John Q, I would sacrifice the heart in me

For family, high roller

But you wouldn't know it by the way that I rolled up

Career lifespan lookin' good, it ain't slowin'

One after another, man, I just keep goin'

And goin', goin' (Hey)


[Chorus]

Yeah, if I did it, then I did it right (Yes)

This ain't happen for me overnight (No)

Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Pay up)

Down to business, I ain't playin' nice (Woo), yeah

So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight (I'm out of sight), yeah

When you poppin', they all want a slice (They want a slice), yeah

Greed and envy, that's a part of life (Part of life), yeah

Mediocre, that just won't suffice ('Fice)


[Verse 2]

Keep myself grounded, that's a piece of me that I won't let go

No matter what level I reach, I promise to hold it close

Ain't gotta tell me this hittin' different, man, I already know

How are you claimin' we had a baby? We ain't never spoke

I don't be sleepin' out here with random women on the road

They want a DNA test to prove it, I'm like, "Here you go"

I coulda saved you a bunch of time and told you the results

Lookin' for hush money from me, you ain't gon' get it though

Historic

Rain on my parade, I keep walkin' and ignore it

Just part of the game, yeah, it comes with the territory

It's just another day, man, I'm used to it downpourin', it's nothin'


[Chorus]

If I did it then I did it right (Yeah), yeah

This ain't happen for me overnight (Yeah, overnight), yeah

Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Pay up), yeah

Down to business, I ain't playin' (Oh) nice (Ayy, woo), yeah

So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight (I'm goin'), yeah

When you poppin', they all want a slice (Woo), yeah

Greed and envy, that's a part of life (That's a part of life), yeah

Mediocre, that just won't suffice ('Fice)


[Outro]

Goin'

I'm goin'

Just won't suffice


[Part II]


[Intro]

Do not need no introduction (Ooh)

Style my own, can't no one touch it (Ooh)

Became what they said I couldn't (Ooh)

Mediocre, that won't cut it


[Verse]

Life is a gift, I

Wanna live it to the fullest while I can, why

Would I not when I know my

Days in this game are numbered?

Might as well enjoy the few years that I do have left

Who knows when I'ma write my last verse, I've

Been to hell and back ever since that first EP came out with "All I

Have" on it, I've been givin' all I have

Wasn't really prepared for the pain, I was

Gonna have to go through to get to the

End result that I knew I wanted

Hoped I would make an impact in rap

Has that been insane? Yes, but it

Was worth it, I can't imagine

If I woulda gave up and just turned my back on this

Music, where would I be now?

Don't know how I woulda made it out from

Underneath that rainy cloud

Had my doubts, yes, but that's how I found my

True purpose, if my surface looks great

Who cares if underneath I'm hurtin'?

If there's one thing I've learned in

My life, it's that life is uncertain


[Outro]

Getting burned is unavoidable, isn't it?

Ain't a person alive that hasn't been a vic-

​​tim of being lied to, we're all hypocrites

Giving our two cents but not listenin'

All livin' in our own worlds thinkin' that

We're right when the fact of the matter is, a

Closed mind is the mind of an idiot

Don't believe that's true? Well, open it
