[Intro]

Yeah, yeah


[Verse 1]

Ground Zero, I was nothing you ain’t ever seen no

Deep-down I thought I’d never live up to my hero

Every kid in the world want to be like Mike

But most of them are going to end up Kobe or Tito

No ego, confidence is lower than the sea floor

Crashing in the wave, ‘till my soul start to erode

Lost in the world, ain’t nobody finding Nemo

Need to switch channels please God grab the remote

People used to call me homo

All because I wore pink shoes and a polo

Then switched real quick to wearing Nike logos

Now they say “Just Do It” when they ask for photos

Yeah and sadly, I always oblige

All though I know back then, I used to despise

Every single popular kid and their lives

Man, it always seemed like they were having good times

Vice president, 2 years I had to represent

Elementary school, now I’m cool, better think again

Went to Canada as a kid ‘cause I’m a heaven-sent leader

Yet for myself still questioning

Who I wanna be, do I wanna lead

Do I wanna desk job, do I wanna speak

Do I wanna do math, do I wanna teach

How’s my life gonna be, man have I already peaked


[Chorus]

Homie I done been through a lot, you really think I’ma forget where I came from

None of y’all were posted on the block, that’s lie, and without it you know you ain’t nothing

Homie I done been through a lot, you really think I’ma forget where I came from

Man, I just started making waves, swear to God y’all ain’t seen nothing


[Verse 2]

High-school really takes after the name

People think they’re complex ‘cause they’re smoking dank

That couldn’t be further from the truth y’all lame

Working in the booth while y’all get wasted

And faded, you hate this

But ain’t this, amazing

Y’all claiming, you gang men

Stop lying, y’all basic

That’s high key

Ain’t nobody else just quite like me

That’s fine with me and psyche

‘Cause now I feel one day I might be

One of the greatest alive

That’s what I know, that’s the vibe

Yet the whole school still crowned the other guy

A couple years ago I wouldn’t be fine

But now it’s only my thoughts inside my mind

Now all of my peers, think they peaked, really wishing they could think like me

1400 on the SAT, ain’t no rapper smarter so S I T

Please, let me just speak

Got three jobs that I do daily

Make music, an impact, and lots of money

Feeling like Beethoven, don’t speak to me


[Chorus]

Homie I done been through a lot, you really think I’ma forget where I came from

None of y’all were posted on the block, that’s lie, and without it you know you ain’t nothing

Homie I done been through a lot, you really think I’ma forget where I came from

Man, I just started making waves, swear to God y’all ain’t seen nothing


[Verse 3]

Ground Zero, let me show you the trajectory that I’ma follow in a couple years

I’ma work real hard while in college, probably put some mileage, and hopefully say goodbye to my peers

Way ahead of graduation, but if not then I am patient, and I’ll wait for my time when I hit top tier

But it’s difficult ‘cause ain’t nobody grind like I do, and it ain’t close man, ain’t nobody near here

That’s facts, I been shouting no cap

Please don’t act like everybody don’t already know that

I just want this so bad, I just want this so bad

Want to tour world year round like a nomad

Want to be rich, want to have hits

So many plaques that my dentist quits

So many racks, nobody can account this

So much tax, make a new bracket

Since day one, I been saying I got everything that I need to become

Everybody in the world’s rap number one

I’ll never retire until all my goals done

If I don’t die working, then I don’t deserve nothing

That’s the fact of the matter, rapping way faster

Than I ever have so everybody gather

To the people hating on me, y’all are not a factor

I know where I’m headed, the greatest of rappers
