[Hook 1:]

They’re hoping and praying that I never make it

Cuz once I do I know they’re all gonna hate it

I’m on the grind to be one of the greatest

I reach for success and these niggas can’t take it

Cuz they’re hoping and praying that I never make it

Cuz once I do I know they’re all gonna hate it

I’m on the grind to be one of the greatest

I reach for success and these niggas can’t take it


[Verse 1:]

These niggas are hoping and praying I fold

I can feel deep in my soul

Cuz I don’t just hop on the mic, rapping about smoking dope‚ fucking these hoes

Or cuz I don’t run with no gang

Or just for the fact we ain’t rapping the same

I just be talking about pain‚ experiences

Helping the niggas relate

To the one who ain’t got a voice to be heard

And the ones that be feeling these words

The ones that have been down in the dirt

The ones that just feel like their life isn’t worth

A thing‚ they hope and dream, that they succeed

To escape the bleak, life they lead

That was me‚ definitely, since Twenty-Three

Since then I’ve chased after everything that I’ve aspired

Can’t hop on no wave, because I’m catching fire

Creative mind‚ so I’m always inspired

I’ll always be hated but also admired

Cuz there’s not a doubt that a nigga got bars

And I got charm, flow to a track ain’t doing no harm

I shoot for the stars, and if I fall hard, I’ll show off my scars

To show that I work and the grind will not cease

Practice makes perfect, I’m flowing with ease

Ill with the skill, that makes Triill a disease

So my flow goes when I cough or I sneeze

Don’t you ever try to slander my name

Especially if you don’t how far that I’ve came

Don’t make no comparisons, we ain’t the same

If I catch you in traffic just stay in your lane


[Hook 2:]

They’re hoping and praying that I never make it

Cuz once I do I know they’re all gonna hate it

I’ve been overlooked and I’ve been underrated

I pick myself up and I stay elevated

They’re hoping and praying that I never make it

Cuz once I do I know they’re all gonna hate it

I’ve been overlooked and I’ve been underrated

I pick myself up and I stay elevated


[Verse 2:]

My whole life, I could tell I was a writer

And I’ve always been a lover, not a fighter

Took my first shot, then I thought, why not

Find a way to make my light shine brighter

Cuz I been that kid, short temperament

Tried to keep my cool, like peppermint

A chance, I’d thought I’d never get

To straighten up, for the betterment

Of my life, tryna grow up and be a man

Finally figuring out who I think I am

I dreamed just to have the whole world in my hands

And have everything just go as planned

But that’s just not how it works

I’ve received everything that I deserve

Life could be better, but also be worse

I could’ve been 20, and rolled in a hearse

Now y’all can get what I’m saying

With every single thought that I’m conveying

With every single track that I be laying

You should know by now that I ain’t playing

So if you’re praying for my deposition

Prepare for the opposition

Until I get this recognition

I will never ever quit this mission

Just constant writing, lyrical

I’m on the ball, and it’s spherical

And I know that in music, it’s difficult

But I’m not like the others, atypical

So I do not fuck with comparisons

I may be young, but I’m still developing

Ima be real but I’m also so arrogant

I’m on the track, so I’m in my element


[Hook 3:]

I’m hoping and praying that one day I make it

Cuz once I do I swear they’re all gonna hate it

They don’t match the level of my motivation

And I’ll never quit because I stay dedicated

I’m hoping and praying that one day I make it

Cuz once I do I swear they’re all gonna hate it

They don’t match the level of my motivation

And I’ll never quit because I stay dedicated
