Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame
On the same verse, I'm telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly, but it can get worse
'Cause even the blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Y'all oughta stop talking, start tryna catch up, motherfucker
[Verse 2]
And all the people say
Ah, ah
Try to catch up, motherfucker
Ah, ah
[Verse 3]
Lauryn said money changes situations
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't stab, I ain't the one
Chuck said an Uzi weigh a motherfucking ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated, but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken, I'ma say it for the record
I am the opposite of wack
Opposite of weak, opposite of slack
Synonym of heat, synonym of crack
Closest to the peak, far from a punk
Y'all oughta stop talking, start tryna catch up, motherfucker
[Verse 4]
And all the people say
Ah, ah
Try to catch up, motherfucker
Ah, ah
[Verse 5]
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
[Verse 6]
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
[Verse 7]
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
[Verse 8]
And all the people say
Ah, ah
Try to catch up, motherfucker
Ah, ah
[Verse 9]
And all the people say
Ah, ah
Try to catch up, motherfucker
