Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm running in circles, looking and searching
Look high and low for the purpose
Convincing myself this earth is just full curses and cursive
I pull the curtains, interpreting how I exposed the surface of ****
That no one's ever seen
They hid behind these magazines
Let's see, I seen it all, way back
If I was you I wouldn't say that, no
Anything they ever did to make sure I wouldn't ever win
It just made me a better man, I put that on my soul
If it's platinum in my watch, should I still care 'bout going gold?
If I gave that shit away, you think I'm ever going broke?
I'm not chasing money, money chasing me
You found what you looking for when you stop looking for it
End of story
[Verse 2]
See, more **** want the glory and think success is euphoric
Expect to get rich touring and never do shit for it, man
I been historic so long it's getting boring
Multiple mansions to reside and switch foreigns, pouring
Plenty game in the money cup
All our moves are calculating, you could wish the dummy's luck
Yeah, guess everyone exaggerates when they coming up
But that just their imagination, really, these **** ain't got no money, bruh
They wanna know who you are, not who you wanna be
Want smoke online and ain't handle around the corner beef
Coward, good luck avoiding getting extorted with absentee morals
And horrible priorities
Catch you somewhere in your mid-forties
Down in Florida, by the water, scraping up enough to buy a forty
Type of billboard ain't shit when you did poorly
By your kids so they can't remember what you did for 'em
[Verse 3]
Ay, you remember when you showed me that half a mill' in that shoe box?
Then I said, I want to rap, so you put me on Big and 2Pac
'Fore we came a long way, LA with B and Jay
Or flying to Coachella playing spades on PJs
Gimme three days, my gallery finna triple my salary
Doubled up on my K-dot, the sad shit, watch my calories
Crazy, I couldn't fathom the thought of me going platinum
I shattered my ceiling and captured my feelings in this verse
I'll gradually kill 'em, I'll turn down a million, it's not worth my integrity
I'm most definitely my daddy's son, there's no denying
I used to run from my last name
I was mortified of being that **** that live off a **** at twenty-five
So I moved out at eighteen and now I'm on my own
Pops, I know you got it, but I'd just rather get it on my own
Tell 'em stop asking all them questions, the answers in my song
Place the pen in my left hand and watch me write my wrongs
[Verse 4]
Ha, it funny ain't it, how I could be entertaining
Millions stashed in the bank and more millions on real estate
Riding around in a Vanquish, tryna stop from complaining
'Cause my kids won't let me help 'em and I just can't ascertain it
Then again, kinda remind me of me 'fore I met Jason
Selling crack daily, but knew I was going places, listen
Sometimes you confident can over-wear your continence
To the point seem like it make the smartest one do the dumbest shit
Learn to be the thermostat, not the thermometer
Never put your trust in ****, even when they promise something
Okay, pride keep you hungry when you on the come up
Don't matter who you son of, ****, you a one-of-one
Sometimes the weight feel like a hundred tons
I know, but learned to carry load
'Cause that the Harris way
Going a hundred or nothing, don't ever half-way
Fuck with anything and keep navigating your pathway
Already know there's greatness in you 'cause I put it there
They say that pressure make diamonds, find it
Be you at all times and see who not to align with
****, shining was the point of the assignment, duh
