Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No matter what you can’t take what I been through
Imagine if I never went through what I went through
Yea gang look
[Verse 2]
I want more, until I get it I won’t slow up
I’m on tour, openin' some brand new doors
On top but we came from the floor
Do you believe in foresight, I do
Cause I can’t ignore life, look
[Verse 3]
I wrote this in a hotel the size of a closet, just to show you that I could do it
Just to show you that it ain’t much to it
If you got your hand out don’t be surprised when I look at you stupid
Where were you when it was me and the music
Don’t compare me to no **** that I’m better than
Still new but my attitude veteran
And ain’t nothing wrong with it, since 6 I knew I was gone get it
I ain’t workin then my palms start itchin'
Ever since a **** put a gun to my face
That shit do really make you think, yea
I was thinkin' 'bout my kid yea
16 didn’t even have a kid yet
Them bullets really have you thinkin' 'bout your unborn, imagine if my whole life was untorn
Imagine when that car flip, don’t call it defeating odds its
A blessing that I ain’t gone yet
I been getting closer to God
Not in scripture we been talkin' direct, straight line
Send for me and I’ll send you closer to God, yea (Word, yea, yea)
[Verse 4]
I’m on pace, I figured out this shit ain’t no race
Up the stakes, got hungry then I scraped the plate
It ain’t hard for me to change my ways
Do you believe in foresight, I do
Cause I cannot ignore life, look
[Verse 5]
The playin' field ain’t never been even
I ain’t 'bout to make that shit either
Seen 'em tryna copy my aura, they some readers
Study all you want but I came up out that freezer
Getting bread across the Mediterranean like a pita
You a heat seeker, speak up, **** tellin' me to speed up
You could fit your talent in a B cup
Leaders of the new school I think they need us
But first let me light my weed up
My intuition ain’t never led my astray
With all this shit on my plate you’d think I’d be runnin' in place
But I step to that mirror look myself in the face
Can’t nobody take my place, say they got me then they flake
You could try, you could test you get sent to the gods
I’m a R&B **** with a hip hop core
Said I’m a R&B **** with a hip hop core, yea
We just had to do that if I don’t rap on this anyway people gone hate me
