| Confidence is everything, my nigga
|
| All you niggas riding waves
|
| Feel me?
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| I’m taking the fundamental approach when I focus in
|
| Dealing with negative folks won’t extend
|
| Any ambition, I had to seek out a mission
|
| I had to sleep in the kitchen when I was hopeless then
|
| Niggas they try to boast, I don’t fit in
|
| Rather than try to cope I wrote with pen
|
| Told me to dumb it down, the dumber you done it, the dummies 'll bump it
|
| And money will come in until you drown
|
| Niggas steady frown but I’m feasting
|
| I don’t need a boss or a label to police me
|
| I don’t need a foe or a loss to increase me
|
| Did it for a year then I told them to release me
|
| That’s just the bruises you take when you finally arrive
|
| Scraping my checks man I had to survive
|
| Suffocating, I suffered waiting, I’m supplicating my income the shit stung,
|
| bottled my pride
|
| Follow my conscience I skipped all the nonsense no cosign or sponsor I breathe
|
| Out of my nostrils for every apostle that’s 400 waiting to mock as you bleed
|
| They don’t understand then they wanna pass judgement
|
| Rather have spam than a stand with substance
|
| Pussy niggas salivating and celebrating any celebrity selling them any shine
|
| cause they never had a spine
|
| Me I got a big mouth, hear me out
|
| In fear I would interfere, they steered to clear me out
|
| Y’all been living in the big house, I’m here now
|
| They burning the slave quarters I’m turning the page forward
|
| Raised in the projects, the process
|
| Mind numbing, niggas is fine coming
|
| To the game with a lot less
|
| My guess, they cool with it so I tell them God bless
|
| Fucking with anybody pretending is really probably the biggest landmine you can
|
| find (no)
|
| Trusting a person that you had thought was deserving is even worse when you
|
| gotta sever ties (go)
|
| To the extreme now for someone who seems down was sorta the theme now (show)
|
| Any emotion any devotion that you hoped to receive is a steed that you never
|
| shoulda rode
|
| Selling you lies cause they fresh outta truth
|
| Blaming the tide but that’s not no excuse
|
| How can you follow a wave and then try to behave like you didn’t look down on
|
| it too
|
| Niggas will tell you that something is lame, wait for like three years and then
|
| do the same
|
| I just continue in my lane while keeping the mindframe of flaming you
|
| motherfuckers who act obtuse
|
| All you niggas riding waves (waves)
|
| Look to me to do the same (same)
|
| Y’all too busy counting plays (countin')
|
| Counting money bitch I’m paid
|
| And I don’t give a fuck for anybody but few
|
| I don’t say much until they got in my view
|
| I don’t adhere to any notion of fear
|
| I’m revered by the folks who really know what I do, so I flew
|
| To a whole 'nother coast and made the most of the bad hand I was dealt until I
|
| felt things slip
|
| Thought I was ready but I was stalling my heart is heavy and fallin apart is
|
| petty the hate I caught a bevy
|
| Let it be said if I shed blood it wasn’t in vain, now they want me to tame
|
| myself
|
| Niggas see the life I portray as some sort of a game and for that had to blame
|
| myself
|
| They see it all as so simple deceiving the tempo there’s nothing to prove
|
| I just continue with my lane while keeping the mindframe of flaming you
|
| motherfuckers who act obtuse
|
| All you niggas riding waves (waves)
|
| Look to me to do the same (same)
|
| Y’all too busy counting plays (countin')
|
| I’m counting money bitch I’m paid |
