[Intro: Reizan]

Yeah, Reizan

Past Present Future

This is my story

[Verse 1: Reizan]

Look at you now, suit and tie, numbers in stacks

But remember them nights when the fridge only packed with the scraps?

You was scribblin’ raps, tryna manifest plaques

Now you crunchin’ them stats, tryna balance the facts

Told yourself you was different, you ain’t follow the norm

But now you punchin’ a clock, tryna weather the storm?

You used to clock beats, not shifts, this ain't how it was drawn

Now you facin’ them ledgers like debts bein’ mourned

Where’s the hunger? Where’s the fire? Where’s the late nights grindin’?

Used to risk it all for bars, now it’s tax codes you signin’?

Took a path for the moment, but you know it ain't final

You ain't meant to push numbers, you was built for the vinyl

But you can't see it no more

[Verse 2: Reizan]

Man, I hear what you sayin’, but I’m movin’ with sense

I can’t gamble my future just to pray for events

Yeah, the dream still alive, but the stakes ain't the same

Had to double my hustle, had to sharpen my aim

I was broke, I was stuck, had to make me a play

Ain’t no honor in starving you just wait on the day

Ain’t no shame in the grind, long as progress is made

It’s just numbers and time, watch me flip ‘em both ways

Still penning my truth, every track been a statement

Nine-to-five just a pivot, not my final arrangement

I see balance as power, it ain’t killin’ my drive

I ain’t losin’ myself, I’m just learnin’ how to thrive

[Verse 3: Reizan]

One day you’ll thank me for keepin’ it real

For stackin’ these funds while perfectin’ the skill

You wanted the world, but the world needs a plan

A king with no patience just dies where he stands

You ain't here just to follow, you ain’t here just to dream

You a leader, a force, somethin’ more than it seems

That mic in your hand? It’s a key, not a chain

Make the art and the wealth, let ‘em both know your name

A legend ain't rushed, every step got a reason

And every cold winter just preppin’ the season

Keep movin’, keep buildin’, keep paintin’ the lines

Your past paved the way, but the future is mine

[Verse 4: Reizan]

Oh, so now you suit up, now you corporate made?

Now you talkin’ investments, now you playin’ it safe?

What happened to hunger? What happened to risk?

Used to bet it all on dreams, now you hedge and assist?

You traded passion for balance, fire for comfort

Used to push limits, now you push numbers

Told ‘em you different, but you walkin’ in line

Gave up the race just to finish on time

Ain’t this what we hated? Playin’ life like a scheme?

Told yourself you'd never bow, now you worship routine

You ain’t build for no desk, you was born to inspire

But I guess that dream died when you dressed in attire

[Verse 5: Reizan]

Nah, I ain't kill it, I just molded the dream

I ain't die in them trenches, I evolved in between

Took the lessons you gave me, turned the loss to a win

You was reckless with motion, I refined it within

Ain’t no shame in the growth, ain’t no loss in the change

Had to play my position just to master the game

You think risk make a legend? Nah, the vision do that

Had to build up the empire ‘fore I sit where you sat
