[Intro]
20 years spent in prison with constant division
My outlook on life could not be more grim
I'd made my decision but fam wouldn't listen
Control was too tight, back then I gave in
Nowadays I'm so changed and I don't look the same
Sick by the bedside, no visits by friends
Had to limit the access, only those who gon' back us
I just cut the last one who ain't understand
[Chorus]
Said please be patient, can't be picking favorites
If I leave you on read then I don't mean no malice
I move down a task list to keep things in check
My life is hectic so it requires balance
Thе goals that you set, to me, not a challengе
Settin' the standard as I move right past it
My minds on my money, my money is active
My team's moving forward, we never relax
[Verse]
Pat myself on the back for this year we went in
It's hypin me up to go in again
Know I've got a long ways but I keep a perspective
I've got what it takes, all I need's the direction
I don't need no praise, I am too respected
A room's aura changes as soon as I step in
Leave you blessed in the moment, my presence a present
I'm the one with the answers and one with the questions
I go out for a night and I wake up to breakfast
The way that I talk, it leaves her sedated
The withdrawal is real, I'm the one that she's cravin'
I like this position, that one is my favorite
Momentum is big and it keeps getting bigger
We made it through summer, we made it through winter
We started with one and we'll head to 10 figures
This song is a bible, this verse is the scripture
[Bridge]
My peace always been conditional
Can't know who to trust it's difficult
Always wondering why I spawned
If God's who placed me here, I'm here to hurt
I conquered what was a curse
I went head first into the depths of hell
Wasted too much time asking why me why
Just to realize that I never failed
[Chorus]
Said please be patient, can't be picking favorites
If I leave you on read then I don't mean no malice
I move down a task list to keep things in check
My life is hectic so it requires balance
The goals that you set, to me, not a challenge
Settin' the standard as I move right past it
My minds on my money, my money is active
My team's moving forward, we never relax
[Verse 2]
The beats hitting hard, DF and Woods made it
The mix is on point, so shout out to Cave
Efrain and Izzy been keeping me busy
Can't do without Perco, I'd not be the same man
G_am's been bumping, we came up with something
The next year is crazy, you wouldn't believe it
When success comes knocking, know we will receive it
I won't say I made it, I'm gon' say my team did
OVO, Ye, That's how I'll be treated
Jay Z, Keef, Kendrick 'ready paved the way
I ain't have a choice, I ain't have a say
To a perfect life, I cannot relate
My past is grim, my futures amazing
Shoutout lakai and BUY$DRUGS cause they saved me
Shoutout them guys in the rooms that we trade in
Shoutout to those who been here the whole way
Shoutout to those who been here the whole way (That's 310, Matt K)
Shoutout to those who been here the whole way (Galazy and Flay)
Shoutout to those who been here the whole way
Yea, Yea, Yeaahhhh, Yeah
[Chorus]
Said please be patient, can't be picking favorites
If I leave you on read then I don't mean no malice
I move down a task list to keep things in check
My life is hectic so it requires balance
The goals that you set, to me, not a challenge
Settin' the standard as I move right past it
My minds on my money, my money is active
My team's moving forward, we never relax
[Outro]
My team's moving forward, we never relax
