[Chorus]

I've been this way ever since the beginning

I go beyond like I'm Terry McGinnis

I do it all, but you quick to pretend it

Cream of the crop and you quickly diminish

I don't got time to be readin' my mentions

None of that shit ever peakin' my interests

Y'all on a race to get money the quickest

And I'm tryna make sure my children can get it


[Verse 1]

Ayy (Pikachu I choose you!)

I decide what I'm supposed to do

Servin' niggas like a barbeque

Hard to kill like I was Kakuzu

Make more in one day replying to an email than I did bustin' my ass workin' two weeks in retail

Ayy, flow god do the new wave with the old school

Shit talk, they don't really know what I go through

Oh shoot, literally so cool

Making up my own rules

Movin' like the pro's do

Hold up, I'ma get 'em when I switch that flow up

I was never tryna reach a quota

Everybody's waitin' on a glow-up

But my sacrifices, made a nigga grow up

I've been takin' my time writing my rhymes

Negatives always come back to me

I've been trapped in my mind, most of the time, my music is unsatisfactory

Ayy, I seen a couple of people, they biting my lyrics, reciting my songs

I'm sorry my niggas if I'm acting distant 'cause I'm on a mission to right all my wrongs


[Chorus]

I've been this way ever since the beginning

I go beyond like I'm Terry McGinnis

I do it all, but you quick to pretend it

Cream of the crop and you quickly diminish

I don't got time to be readin' my mentions

None of that shit ever peakin' my interests

Ya'll on a race to get money the quickest

And I'm tryna make sure my children can get it


[Verse 2]

Ayy, make sure my children can get it

I'm independent like Chancellor Bennett

Try to make way in the lane I invented

I don't show my face but I'm still photogenic

All uppercase when you cappin' on Reddit

No cap, I'm the captain, you niggas pathetic

And I don't put captions on places I'm headed

Aim at your head, bust a cap and you get it

I'm as sharp as knives, so fuck razor blades

I might shuck and jive like I'm changing lanes

And I keep it blunt, I don't play charades

A lot of niggas suck, so call a spade a spade

All my life I've been called a loser

Flip the script like its Kama Sutra

Karma keepin' me company

So don't tell me how to maneuver, bitch


[Verse 3]

I'm putting rappers in hearses

People thank me for my service

Your sound is losing his purpose

Thinkin' you deep but you still at the surface

Bitch, you a clown on your verses

That shit belong in a circus

Niggas talk shit when they safe but they never say shit when I pull up in person

Stay quiet from the get-go

No brakes, straight gas like I'm petrol

X-Men speed off, no Pietro

Without warning go boom like I'm metro

Did it myself without no type of back-end

Don't need a gun but you won't see me lackin'

Tryna throw hands? Nigga, we get it crackin'

Calling me Thanos the way when I'm snappin


[Chorus]

I've been this way ever since the beginning

I go beyond like I'm Terry McGinnis

I do it all, but you quick to pretend it

Cream of the crop and you quickly diminish

I don't got time to be readin' my mentions

None of that shit ever peakin' my interests

Y'all on a race to get money the quickest

And I'm tryna make sure my children can get it
