(The biz, the business)
Uh, I say, can't wait no longer, baby
(No longer, baby)
My time is now, no time to sleep because I'm on it, baby
('Cause I'm on it, baby)
No time to eat (Ha) even though I'm fucking hungry, baby
Lately, I been feeling all alone and it drive me crazy
Since I was younger (Younger), why they treat De'Wayne shady?
My best friend left my side, but I'm the one that's changing
I just feel like I'm maturing at these different stages
Levels, they wouldn't even fathom on this marathon racing
They was sprinting through life, I was finding my pace
They was having a ball, I was lost in my race
I was looking for God, I was losing my faith
My mother wouldn't be proud of what I had became
But it's a new day, I live the dream like it's 2K
It's time for me to shine, that sun was looking my way, hey
You know I got it, baby (You know I got it), you know I got it
Got some good people around me help me strengthen my pocket
Help me strengthen my grind, help me strengthen my mind
Now we closer than ever, it's just a matter of time
'Fore this shit pop, the art of hip hop
You talking about the kid that risked his life for what you read about
Hear 'em out, hey
Yeah, and I'm in my zone, yeah (Zone, yeah)
Tell that people leave that boy alone, yeah
Hey, and I'm putting on, yeah (Putting on, yeah)
I really hate, I hate I had to leave my home and nah
Hey, but y'all made me (Made me)
Back and forth to granny, yeah, she raised me (Raised me)
I swear this game never changed me
No matter what happened, swear this game never changed me, ah
Hey, but y'all made me (Made me)
Huh, back and forth to granny, yeah, she raised me (Raised me)
I swear this game never changed me
We only getting better, let the whole world know we special
Get 'em
A lot of pressure when you fly away
This year gon' make two Christmas since I had a holiday
I'm on my job, I ain't hearing what them haters say
'Cause when I was starving, nobody tried to talk to me
But it's cool, look, made me stronger, made me a man
When I'm on, nigga, I just hope that you understand
See, I was grinding since youngin (Grinding since youngin)
I been working with something (Working with something)
I never want to be famous 'cause fame ain't what I wanted
Nigga, for real
Yeah, just give that young boy that deal
Look, and I put my family on the hill
Huh, see, I just wanna save the kids and that's real (Real)
Vibe, look
Knew I was working with something since I was young, been a star
I watch my dad from the porch and I seen him getting out that car
All they did was hustle because they wanted it all
I never thought those times would inspire these poems
Nigga, for real
Hey, say even when they doubted, knew I make it
Hey, I came too far, man, they can't take it
Uh, going back home made me stronger
I ain't changing (I ain't changing)
Nigga, I ain't changing (I ain't changing)
Even when they doubted (Ayy)
Even when they doubted, man, I swear I knew I made it
(I swear I knew I made it)
Going back home made me stronger, I ain't changing (I ain't changing)
Going back home made me stronger, I ain't changing (I ain't changing)
Nigga, I ain't changing (I ain't changing)
Nigga, that's my word, ayy
Nigga, that's my word
Nigga, that's my word
