Lyrics

[Intro]
Fun fact about Kevin Gates, for those of you that's just tunin' in
I talk to myself, all geniuses talk to they self
I know I done said a lot of this before, but letter to self
You really that thang!
[Verse 1]
Might stumble a little, committed to all of my losses
I'm the pursuit of perfection, disappointed in you?
I can't lie, I'm disappointed in you
Breadwinner Don, no way you could visit
We came in this strict orders of protection
Breadwinner of business, don't get it bent
Breadwinner Ministry of Defense
Had a lot of respect for you, I don't respect it
Emotionally, I'm intelligent
Dissect heartbreak for the lesson
Standin' up tall, built for it all
Audible, alternative perspective
Sometimes rejection only be protection
Sometimes disguise yourself as rejection
Internal issues I am not addressin'
Whoever don't want me, I am not stressin'
I do not judge, baby, I'm a blessing
Blessings on your journey, find somethin' better
I ain't gonna lie, look low and high
In the outside, baby, I'm textured
You would die tryin' to find you somethin' better
Anything round, make it look better
Anything round, make it look better
Entertain clowns, you become a peasant
Greatness I'm known, respect is on heavy
You don't feel worthy standin' in my presence
Take it up with God, you are not special
I frequently live in that mild intensity
Exhibited vulnerability, called in the spirit of the jaguar
Chasin' out negative energy
Ooh, take a lit glance in the mirror
I'm free, what done got into me?
Leveled up, now they be lookin' upset
Can never say I am not genuine
You had my attention, renewed ambition
Focus, no longer interested
Don't ask where the feelings went, it's a hell of a feelin'
When I'm peelin' off from the dealership
[Verse 2]
Right hand of God, I am the lamb of God
Know who you dealin' with
Update, lately, I've been updated
My bitch up in rank, I've been updating
Optimus Prime, I've been upgraded
Name hold weight, I've been up lately
Workin' out daily, body transformation
Gainin' self-worth, treat myself sacred
Gave myself grace, workin' on patience
People sayin', "Wait, there go Kevin Gates"
Accepted every win, same as my defeat
Weathered every storm I done ever faced
Safe to say I don't even want to say it
I'm a livin' legend, I became amazing
Interviews streamin', goin' up daily
I am iconic, I am motivation
Think what you want, they do not phase me
I do not complain, know my occupation
Been through it all, I'm on location
Built for it all, I'm a big gangster
[Outro]
If you're goin' through somethin' right now
Built for it all, I'm a big gangster
I just want you to be encouraged, you know
Don't lose hope, don't lose faith, you know what I'm sayin'
Adversity builds character, you know what I'm sayin'
We gone weather every storm, you know what I'm sayin'
Whenever you feel like life's not making sense
That's when you know you're on the right path
Whenever you start losin' friends
That's when your energy vibratin' at a different level
They can't be around you no more
Isolation brings elevation
Isolation brings elevation
Isolation brings elevation
I'm elevated
