lyrics
Started in the bedroom, right next to the basement
Feelin' like I'm in the Matrix, but it's like I wouldn’t face it
Looking up where the days went, chasin
No fans, no bands, no stands, just work
My brow get hotter than the pavement
Sittin in amazement
My doubts, my fears just melt in the pages
See my dreams, I fiend, and all the seeds I sow, yeah
Just cooking up and saving all my dough, huh
Like Christian names just raising all these hopes, yeah
Set my sails, til I prevail, cuz I don't sink I float, yeah
Spilling my thoughts like lemonade, in a daze
Break it up and let it hit the waves
Man I’m feelin like a kid today,
Little rebel in my DNA
Catch fade like MMA
Center my thoughts then waltz, just dance up on these stars
Let me gone this far,
Let me hone these bars
Never gone sub par
Meanwhile my pawpaw helped me grow, yeah
Meanwhile keep sharpening up my flow, yeah
Do overtime and shit them folks can't know
No stopping me, took a lot to be, on top of all these lows
They can count me out
I will never fail
Pockets always swell
I keep doing well
They can count me out
I will never fail
Pockets always swell
Cuz the check is in the mail
Pushing my way right through, look up and its deja vu
Hustle for the pay per view, never been that phased by you
Do my thing and I make my loot, uh
Navigate the bars then leave, getting this large ain't free
Living my life for the work, gotta slide by the curse
No control and it just ain't me, yeah
Livin every minute, on my grind, I can get it
Put in 18 hours when he rhyme independent
I'm a make it doing crime ain't the business
Niggas like me do fine, we the winners
Sit with something fine at the dinner
Get up and it's time to deliver
Never doing fine in the middle, gonna climb to the pinnacle
Due time like an interval, aiight
Meanwhile my pawpaw helped me grow, yeah
Meanwhile keep sharpening up my flow, yeah
Do overtime and shit them folks can't know
No stopping me, took a lot to be, on top of all these lows
They can count me out
I will never fail
Pockets always swell
I keep doing well
They can count me out
I will never fail
Pockets always swell
Cuz the check is in the mail
I'm here now, heads up and my fears down
Spent many nights with my tears out
And I jump to the front when the cheers loud
Look in front of me never sheer doubt
Never really focused on my peers now
Chargin right ahead to the lear's down
They can make it all up but don't fear clowns
Meanwhile my pawpaw helped me grow, yeah
Meanwhile keep sharpening up my flow, yeah
Do overtime and shit them folks can't know
No stopping me, took a lot to be, on top of all these lows
They can count me out
I will never fail
Pockets always swell
I keep doing well
They can count me out
I will never fail
Pockets always swell
Cuz the check is in the mail
