Before you had your boy on the playlist

Knew I'd do better too clever never basic

I was sellin' kicks stacking chips like in Vegas

Auntie always told me they don't know me I'll be famous

Now its tic toc pit stops on the way there

I was beat boxing eavesdropping in the daycare

Before all of the lessons and the stresses and the grey hairs

Before I had a girl crush my world she didn't play fair no, no, no

Before I lost the girl to the bumble

I was makin' 4, 5 bills off a bundle

I was gettin' C's I would cheese off a Hundo

I was just a rookie didn't know how the cookie crumbles

Now I'm gettin lost in the concrete jungle

Now I got these bills takin' pills just to juggle

Now I got the balls never fall never fumble

Stayin' in between confident and bein' humble

Hard to find balance

But god I love a challenge

I'm always adapting

Thats one of my talents

Good at takin no, no

Always on the go, go

Momma was just workin'

Had to do things solo

Always learned the hard way

And baba was always far away

When he came back home tho

Seemed he had a hard day

Better get out the way quick

Sometimes ya get that ass beat

Taught me keep my hand up

Move quick so you can't catch me

Always had my head bobbin

With Batman and Robbin

And watchin' Jordan

And Dennis Rodman

Just ball up, was called up

Always tried to blend in

But stopped pretendin'

And look what happened

I started rappin'

I'll be 50 years old eatin PB and Jellies

Burn a jay to the face on pace already

Real eyes get heavy

Can't kill me like Kenny

I've been juggling my life like a soccer ball

And I'm Messi

But you don't want none FIFA

And in real I will beat ya

I got them fast feet

Faster than i look said I'm an athlete

I've been writin songs since Eminem was dissin backstreet

Look at the rap sheet

Please don't take me as some little fool

I was slangin' monsters out my backpack

Back in middle school

Hated school

Break the rules

End up in detention

I got in a food fight

And then I got suspended

It was 8th grade, make way

For the cool kids, I was never cool

That's the reason that I do this

I always knew this

Now look who's foolish

I made this music work for me

8 years a grindin'

Saved my money for a purpose see
