What Now (feat. BJ the Chicago Kid, Wale & Chaz French)

After you've done done more than they thought you could do

All they do is speculate

While you dealin' straight

Everything you're supposed to do

The devil in me said ooh, I told that **** never, no

Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all

Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit

Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision

Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down

What now?

What now?

They told me I never could, but I soon did

I want my old girl to get a new crib, yeah

I got pride, pride, pride, pride, pride

And I'm beggin' for you to let me live

They told me I was doomed to lose

But I'm just too intuitive and too in tune to lose, yeah

I got pride, pride, pride, pride, pride

But the devil wants me sit with them, yeah

Livin' good and I worry less

Got a full phone that's full of curves and blurry pics

Yeah, I used to work at Bacurio

Never give them lettuce, but honey, my starter's chicken strip

When she in my presence, five star villas

Really, this is all no effort

Good energy and prayers all around

Effort, middle finger, what now, ****'s droppin' out, F it

F it, reckless, yes sir

The devil in me said ooh, I told that **** never, no

Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all

Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit

Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision

Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down

What now?

What now?

What now?

What now?

Yeah, pride, pride, pride, gone

Lord, my story

I've cut ties with y'all who ain't for me

It's over now, I found my lane, yeah

I got my mind on God and His glory

The vision and ambition

I guess I saw the sign like Ace of Bass, or just petitions

Hold up, my ****

I really wanna getcha

But really had to figure out that image in the mirror

And the devil is callin', triple sixes in my call log

New phone, who this? No, you won't get him to fall off

Man, the two tone, six-two with the roof off

Get wrong, blue moon, mm-mm

'Cause we a bunch of all-stars

Yeah, used to think that we would all starve

Now, don't use the finger or fork when it's under full stop

Yeah, now I'm lyin', I got rhyming and source

If rap was a palette, I'm the rapper to Ramadan y'all, sorry

Haters told me no way

They cold feet, I hot step

That's no, Ino Kimoze

And before you get to be poppin'

Probably got to see pay

Before you see the G-5

You probably fly "Soul Plane"

You probably go from oh Lord, to so-so, to okay

But, okay is dope, the ol' Lord, the blank face

What now? Wale

The devil in me said ooh, I told that **** never, no

Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all

Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit

Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision

Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down

What now?

And I done did about everything they said that I wouldn't do

I done played the game, played myself, and played the fool

Would you live without lights, the nicest clothes, and a plate of food?

You gon' take advantage of everything that's in front of you

****, trust me, I know

I disected my plan A from the go

'Cause a plan B's just killin' where it ain't meant to be, finna to go

From always sellin' myself short to damn near sellin' out shows

From no diploma to bein' booked in colleges to perform

**** what now?

Still feel like I ain't got shit, but I'm up now

I'm too close, still feel like I'm far away, I'm stuck now

In a high place, I'm the rock, though

I'm a gold mine with no silver spoon

I'm good enough to be the greatest man

But when I get there what's left to prove?

I promise I'm not scared of growth

I promise I'm not scared of growth

The devil in me to settle I told that **** never no
