[Intro: Maxsta]
Yeah Yeah
[Verse 1: Maxsta]
Look I been a hotstepper since '07
Shower man jacket since '08
In '09 I was smoking lemon
'010 got stabbed but I was OK
'012 when I first got a deal
'013 I put mummy on flights
'014 I nearly lost my life
Tryna duck from fed
I spun that whole right
'016 started producing tracks
'018 Maxtape produced dat
Whole time had the haters say I'm trash
Whole time had his baby mudda on smash
Whole time had to learn from all the L's
Whole time had to put food on the scales
I've got thru' the fuckery with nothing but patience
Determination
[Chorus: Maxsta]
Determination
Give a fuck about niggas
But I even got bitches hatin'
Big celebration
Cut thru' the storm on my ones
Mask gone like Jason
Determination
Gotta work harder
Smart; I gots to move faster
Big up the pagans
'Cah they never get nada
Just chattin' that blabla
[Verse 2: Yizzy]
Trus' me
What you really know bout Determination?
Everybody said get a day shift
Had a couple bruddas tellin' me
"Face it! You ain't gonna make it!"
Cold blooded. Why dey wanna stake it?
I treat my tunes like I saw a gal with big back
You 're gonna watch us walk pass
Wow me I'm gonna chase it
Yo spit bars so dey know I'm on track
Back in school, I ran tracks so I chased it
What do you know about having 20 pound in your socks
So none of these road bruddas can take it?
My dreams ain't simple or basic
And they hate it
Cus I was tryna bring Grime to live
With all the money from my 9 to 5
So u know I had to hustle for a wage lift
[Chorus: Maxsta]
Determination
Give a fuck about niggas
But I even got bitches hatin'
Big celebration
Cut thru' the storm on my ones
Mask gone like Jason
Determination
Gotta work harder
Smart; I gots to move faster
Big up the pagans
'Cah they never get nada
Just chattin' that blabla
[Verse 3: Tommy B]
'09 I watched Scratchy and Footsie clash
That's when I discovered my calling
'011 had my first puff on the zoot
That's when I lost interest in ballin'
'013 I lost my V in the park
Don't know how it happened with that small thing
'015 I stopped fucking around with bars
That's when I decided to go all in
2017 I took a turn for the worse
Bare drinking, blazing and snorting
Turned 18 and I got sober
Started climbin' not fallin'
From then I ain't had no breaks no pausin'
Funnily enough drama I stopped causin'
I got patience
Determination
So I don't have to forfeit (never)
[Chorus: Maxsta]
Determination
Give a fuck about niggas
But I even got bitches hatin'
Big celebration
Cut thru' the storm on my ones
Mask gone like Jason
Determination
Gotta work harder
Smart; I gots to move faster
Big up the pagans
'Cah they never get nada
Just chattin' that blabla
[Verse 3: Manga Saint Hilare]
Think becus I'm in a crew I had bare help
I had to pat on all da tings myself
I never had a label
I never been signed
I put all the songs myself
I never had an agent
I never got booked
So I had to put on all the shows myself
A lot of men never liked me for no reason
I used to blame it all on myself
I worked to the cause I was dope
I ain't working for nobody else
I got stuff that I never gotta get done
And the only op is myself
They don't love
It don't affect me
True love is the love for thyself
They don't love; I make them hate me
Keep on clarting when all else fails
[Chorus: Maxsta]
Determination
Give a fuck about niggas
But I even got bitches hatin'
Big celebration
Cut thru' the storm on my ones
Mask gone like Jason
Determination
Gotta work harder
Smart; I gots to move faster
Big up the pagans
'Cah they never get nada
Just chattin' that blabla
