[Chorus]

Came on a mission

To claim my position

All I do is talk but the people won’t listen

So now I’m here switching

Hungry for work didn’t grow in a kitchen

But I been in kitchens

No I ain’t switching it’s just a condition

You’d know if you listened

My people I’m missing you know I am wishing

You get where I’m sitting

You all gonna join me I know some are itching

We all got a vision

Just stay in your lane I pray you ain’t switching

Gain in position

Keep your precision

I pray you ain’t switching

I pray you ain’t switching, yeah


[Verse 1]

We gotta work right, ‘fore we go berserk like

These modern day times ain’t making the work light

So I write a verse like

Do what you love, no matter the job

You could be stepping on stage or wearing the scrubs

Just be who you are, forget who you was

Forget all the drama and I write the words

No need to rehearse

A script of my times my birth to hearse

I wasn’t the first

And won’t be the last

Pictures of past

Memories that last

Looking on life, it’s moving so fast

Reading a book when I was in class

Nowadays kids are having a blast

By playing on phones

Stuck in they zones

Don’t wanna sound old, I don’t wanna moan

By being exposed

Before they are grown, who knows where it goes

Maybe adults with the emptiest souls

Or a generation of Tesla codes

Talking to Elon they calling him bro

See how it’s switching

These times are all different

But we need a change

No lie this PC age be going insane

Careful you say

Tweeting today could end your way when you on the brink of reaching some fame

So if it’s your name on the page and you talk

I just be hoping you keeping it tame


[Chorus]

Came on a mission

To claim my position

All I do is talk but the people won’t listen

So now I’m here switching

Hungry for work didn’t grow in a kitchen

But I been in kitchens

No I ain’t switching it’s just a condition

You’d know if you listened

My people I’m missing you know I am wishing

You get where I’m sitting

You all gonna join me I know some are itching

We all got a vision

Just stay in your lane I pray you ain’t switching

Gain in position

Keep your precision

I pray you ain’t switching

I pray you ain’t switching, yeah


[Verse 2]

Running a track

Running a race, don’t wanna look back

We all got some demons I’m coping with that

Matter of fact, I’m getting ‘em stacked

So can we relax n cut me the slack

We made a pact, that they won’t impact

All that I’m doing when I’m on the Mac

See one of them told me to do it like Pac

That memory isn’t exact but it’s like a fact now

I no longer back down

Fighting my way to the top, like I’m on Smack Down

I could be King of my city but it’s a fat town

And I ain’t ready, I heard that the crown that you’re wearing be heavy

I better my sound and I’m doing it steady

Yeah you know the way that it goes

Mana seen friend turn foe

But you better know, that as I get old

O’D going for gold

Going for loads

Going for shows

Sell out the rows

Big up the bro’s

You know the code

Buy ‘em a home

Drip in the clothes

Rhyming so cold that they blowing their nose

Woah

Just go with the flow

I’m making it slow

Stayed in my lane and gained in position, and then from the pavement I rose

And like one of them ima grow

See I got a wall full of goals

And no I ain’t switching I’m really just wishing that I get the life that I chose, woah


[Chorus]

Came on a mission

To claim my position

All I do is talk but the people won’t listen

So now I’m here switching

Hungry for work didn’t grow in a kitchen

But I been in kitchens

No I ain’t switching it’s just a condition

You’d know if you listened

My people I’m missing you know I am wishing

You get where I’m sitting

You all gonna join me I know some are itching

We all got a vision

Just stay in your lane I pray you ain’t switching

Gain in position

Keep your precision

I pray you ain’t switching

I pray you ain’t switching, yeah
