I’m raising the bars the same way you're raising your kids
With no respect for the elders
Been here a while, now asking a lot what held us down
My whole team states that the industry’s what's failed us now
Call it a business, call it a passion, or call it a dream
If it gives the excuse to be back in discussion
Give the opinion a spin
I used to be Fucking ambitious
I’m usually back when I miss it
My mental state is a Wishlist
And to myself, am a critic
I’m going over the limit
This is the moment am great
I wanna cut them break, advocate, to lower the stakes
Coz, they don’t got nothing to bet
I’m getting heavy to wreck, N am keeping the weight
I turn the pressure to prep, that’s how I level the deck
I keep my vision direct, n they're never guessing what’s next
(Verse)
I’m breaking the cycle the same way you breaking your sweat
If I make a call to collect
I’m getting double the amount of respect
Been on the rise, they never killing my vibe
My whole squad saying the system is holding us down
Call it a gamble, call it a craft or calling it fate
But if it puts me on track for the moment, I’m owning the wait
I used to dream like a prophet
I started wanting to profit
I had a key to unlock it
You're lucky I made the deposit
This is the second I snap
I turn the fear to a map
I put the truth in my lap
They only talk when they lack
But I never breaking my back
I Just wanna carry the cup, wait
I turn the struggle to steps
That’s how I sharpen my rep
If i keep my motives in check
They're never getting a rest
(Verse)
I’m raising my standard the same way you're raising your doubts
They try to box me in silence, but I keep on breaking the routes
Been on this grind for a minute
I’m trying to figure the cost
My whole team saying the culture’s gotten us lost
Call it a journey, call it a burden, or call it a craft
But if it keeps me returning, I turn the pain into math
I used to move like a menace
Now I just move with intentions
These are the honest confessions
I got a list
Still, I surpass every tension
This is the second I build
They only test when you’re skilled
They try to copy the will
But they will never stomach the chill
They only run when it’s real
Guess they ain’t built for the field, still
I turn the pressure to proof
That’s why my name’s in the booth
I keep my circle aloof, no one predicting the truth
I keep on coming for proof
They know I am never gonna fold
They know I always improve
You keep on counting me out
I’m never telling the move
But am back in the booth
