[Prod. by Slauson Malone]

[Verse 1]

Check

I was told that if you dreamt it, it could happen (It could happen)

To each his own, and keep your lenses on that ransom (On that ransom)

Now I see these broken fences, and I'm stagnant

I stay alone because my presence isn't granted

Hey, let me exhale

'Bout to throw my life down at this next hill

A part of me is cool, the rest stress-filled

I'm in this game and they be sayin' that you next still?

Shit, when do I get it?

I don't know, man, I've just been here for a minute

Rest easy to the Capital

Glad that you invented the basis for the domination, now I'm tryin' to take this (Take this)

Brace before you let go

I need to get it on my own

Forget it, I'll just probably be prevented and controlled

Met us till the finish, I'll be sprintin' for my goal, oh?

Yeah

I'm just tryna vent slow, but this grip won't hold

[Spoken]

Just decide what it's gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you're gonna do it

Just decide

And then from that point, the universe is gonna get out your way

[Verse 2]

Woke up in the morning to my mama cryin'

That's enough to make me reconsider

Rappin' is this goal that I would like to achieve, but I'm mindful that I'm just a beginner

Ain't no racks that I could blow

Plaques that I could hang around, hand me down that mic

So I could get a chance to make my family proud

Constant coughin', so this pressure built

The pain don't kill you but the pleasure heal?

Ain't that the moral, "What is life?"

Brace yourself, get a grip 'fore you space yourself

We all gonna fuck it up, but it's cool 'cause mistakes are gonna help you grow fine

Wise like I'm Asian, well

I feel my patience melt

Because my timer 'bout to click

And I ain't got no payments dealt

No arrangements held

Only strain and this heartfelt pain that I can't even explain myself

So if you wanna compete with a competitor, you'd better come

Better be, 'cause I'ma come predator

Got too much to gain and I ain't stoppin' just to settle for a piece

I want the pie, I wanna drive, whatever makes the drama rise

Which I raise my Karma's eye

I'ma buy you a house, even if it ain't the largest size

Just know I tried, and even if I fall before your warded eyes

I guess I can't support, I came up short...

What you doin' in a year from now?

What you doin' when those years run out? (When those years run out)

So me never let my tears come down

I'd just probably be prevented and controlled

Oh (Oh)

[Spoken]

I believe that I can create whatever I wanna create

I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be
