[Intro:]

Aye

Yeah

Check

Aye

[Verse:]

Pendulum swinging I’m steady watching his daughter grow

So right now I gotta get it before the window close

Just wanna chase it now cause I know I could take the throne

And bring the team cause I ain’t tryna chase alone

If Burn city’s the concrete, then I’m the rose

Been here forever yet I still be keeping on my toes

Can’t understand why anybody wants to play the foe

Willem Defoe, yeah they know me to play the villain role

I’m like the star of this show just call me Penny Proud

I finally know I got my family feeling plenty proud

My father told me “rip it up” I couldn’t let him down

I’m looking out for they faces I see em in the crowd

My brain is crowded, it’s overflowing with petty thoughts

Like how I’m trying to cross bridges that plenty cross

I’m tryna play it safe and minimising any loss

But how I’m tryna act like a boss when I ain’t cover cost?

I’m tryna help you see the truth, feel like I’m Morpheus

This ain’t the way it’s sposed’ to be I know there’s more than this

Blue pill, red pill, Xanny or Percocet?

You pick your poison and tell me if it was worth it yet

Shout out to Bwizzy he really the one that put me on

In math class I asked if I could do a song

I did a Pound Cake Remix and I put it down

He was the first one telling me I can make it now

And fast forward I still love to rewind that

But now I’m tryna be what Chance is to Chiraq

Be like Cole, and put the ‘Ville up on the map

But that requires the city I love to have my back

My biggest fear is that I never make it

And when I’m 30 I’ll reflect on all the years I’ve wasted

Or even worse I get close enough to glory to taste it

And watch another take the game where I wanted to take it

Yeah

I’m still questioning the path that I’ve chosen to take

Still uncertain bout relationships I’ve had to make

Cause nowadays you’re like who’s real and who is fake?

And cutting people off is becoming a piece of cake

I’m scared of snakes in the grass, I know they talking wreckless

That’s when I look at my necklace and that shit don’t effect us

Cause her initials always seem to put it in perspective

No matter what imma always remember what respect is

I’m in the car praying bismillah

Cause I even doubted myself, how’d I get this far?

My homie Hisham praying for me, inshallah

He praying that I ain’t never lose myself in the stars

This is my Adele 19

I’m tired of being the reason we can’t have nice things

And one thing I’ll tell anyone is chase your dreams

Cause in reality it might be closer than what it seems

For real
