[Intro]

Yeah, aye

Aye, aye, aye

[Verse 1]

Baby boy a star, shinin' brighter than the Orion

My girl a dime, a 'chip, a trophy: Larry O'Brien

Always thank God, 'cause He listening, He knows you're trying

Just when you feel defeated, He got impeccable timing

I spit incredible rhymes from living through Hellish times

I swear, I sit here in silence, can't find no peace in my mind

I paint the colors of my soul, with these dope ass beats

I do it all 'til I fall, yeah, you know that's me

Now, you know that's deep (yeah)

Yeah, you know that's heat (yeah)

Aye, don't front, you was just hype, my nigga - keep it a bean

That was me at sixteen, when I valued opinions

Seeking validation from niggas with lack of an interest

All they cared about was Air Jordan's and fucking with bitches

I'm not gon' lie, I fantasized 'bout playing ball for a living

Having my name called in the Draft, like "Congrats, Mr. Jenkins"

And then I woke up to the struggle, man, I'll never forget it, yeah

[Verse 2]

Aye, aye

Aye, shout to Issa Rae, I was feeling insecure

Searching for acceptance, I was young and immature

Almost made a play that would've [?] me and yours

Took a while to click just to get it - now, it's for sure

Chase after a check, I'm living with no regrets

Gotta proceed with caution, they watchin' my every step

Money could buy the world, I mean, anything but respect

That's why I take care of my people, I feed 'em all my success (aye)

Wanna see you good, even if I'm down bad

Learnin' from my dad, he gave me everything he had

So every single chance, I'ma show him that he made a man

Made a plan, tryna' turn a thou' straight into a M

Ballin' hard like the NBA: Never Broke Again

I make dope shit with my friends

I make magic happen with my hands

I do what I want, he do what he can

I do the impossible, so irreplaceable

No one can stop you, they can't take that place from you

So irreplaceable, yeah

[Outro]

Feeling insecure

Searching for acceptance, I was young and immature

Took a while to click just to get it - now, it's for sure

Took a while to click just to get it - now, it's for sure (Chase aft-)

Chase after a check, I'm living with no regrets

Gotta proceed with caution, they watchin' my every step (Money)

Money could buy the world, I mean, anything but respect

Anything but respect

That's why I take care of my people, I feed 'em all my success
