because of '23

JR this beat really slapped 'em

Yeah, I came back again with war wounds from every battle I tried to win

I'm learning lessons in every step in my confidence

I was guided by the purpose to tell you **** what time it is

I'ma take y'all through a series of events

That I don't usually express until I have this time to vent

I keep them stored in, but when I do, I leave a mess

So I'd rather clean it up and beat this up and nothing less

On the days I feel like this, I'm feeling dangerous

The type of mode I'm in, I feel like no one's trained to tame the kid

If I said I would, I understood that when I did

I followed the agenda, now adjacents want a piece of this

I recollect when I was 20 with no fête

I was hungry, opportunities I had, there wasn't many

Tried to sign to TDE, they said I wasn't ready

I turned my savage up at 21 and did it plenty

Two years later, now I'm in a room with Top Dog

Telling me I got the talent, now to be a Top Dog

At this moment, I felt like I could reach the Top Dog

It slummed me in this bitch and I was time to take the top off

It's funny when your idols really know you

On of 2023, I think that's all that I was prone to

I watched their interviews and now I'm in the same room

Listening to how they talk when cameras off is so new

On my mama, this shit really made me think

I'm in the same room as the **** that the world think is unique

Now I'm in a mansion getting used to finer things

And entertaining groupy hoes and getting head up on the sink

Dead homies, I really live in a fantasy

From hills to the 405 south, down to reality

Where **** die as casualties, not living casually

I'm praying for my people and vivid thoughts keep reminding me

About the day when me and CJ at the donut shop

And saw them **** looking funny at him in the parking lot

They gave assumptions like they wanted ****'s heart to stop

And I was spooky J, I clutched the blick and almost let it rot

Damn, I almost killed for my brother

I be at his granny house and splitting meals with my brother

I knew if they took his life, I'd never heal for my brother

And I know if it was me, he would've killed for his brother

On God, life is full of all the lessons

Showing steps don't really matter if you knock the hardest steppin'

I was back in March giving a bad bitch full attention

Then I fumbled, I got humbled and got newest next possession

Moral of the story, take L's and own it

'Cause if you never do, I know that truth is gonna show it

Life is but an ally in the midst of your opponents

And an L don't mean you lost unless you snoozed and missed the moment

On Lucy (ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
