Yeah I can't get no better, can't get no more cheddar I feel like a king and my queen is Coretta I been made a livin', I'm never gon' give in I'm just way too driven, that's why I been thinkin' I'm scared that I'm sinkin', I'm scared that I'm fallin' The world think I'm ballin' and maybe I am But don't give a damn, back in the beginnin' Did not have a plan, don't know who I am Or who I'm becomin' but I'ma do me to the fullest, alright Bustin' and dodgin' them bullets all night Take over the world, yeah I'm thinkin' I might Got 'em all in my sight I know that I'm strong, I know that I am I know I'm the man And whether you poor or you filled with financial security Everyone deal with they own insecurity Even the preacher was born with impurity Scared to go out even with my security Scared of the world and all of its obscurity Pray for maturity, hope that I grow Hope my anxiety stay on the low I swear I hope that shit don't fuck up my flow Where do I go? What would you do If suddenly all of your dreams came true? What would you do if you did it all? If you ain't never have to lift a finger Would you linger like, "Fuck 'em all"?

And people tried to dig up shit from your past And tell you what's good and what's not And every time you drop a song, they say that it's wack or it's hot And don't give a damn that it came from the heart They tear it apart like hyenas, this here for the dreamers This here for the people that know what I'm sayin' All of the people that know what I'm sayin' Fuck social media Tellin' me who I should be and just how I should rap They always compare, they always compare me to others And try to hit me up against all my brothers Now, why you think so many rappers be overdosin' at the crib?
