Drawing Bridges

[Intro: Hit-Boy]

Oh, yeah

I got on my Alchemist

Uh, Kraft Singles motherfuckin' tee right now

Lime green, you know what I mean? Look

[Verse 1: Hit-Boy]

Y'all wanna know why he don't stop

Y'all wanna know why he don't flop

Let me tell you people why

Came from the bottom of the block, I (Uh)

When I was born (Uh), it was sworn

I was never gon' be shit

Apple Vision Pro with the Oculus

Niggas still couldn't ever see Hit

Then it's not gon' be a sweet lick

If you niggas ever run up on us (Run up)

Crazy how I used to ride the Greyhound, now my whole neck bust (Bust)

Glued in with the hood, had to tell my young homie, "You should pace that"

You could more in the Chase app

Hit my line, know I'm sendin' straight pack (Slide, homie, it's comin')

Peloton work, we be movin' steady

They tryna resurrect what it once was, but I can't go as deady

Far as beats and the rhymes go, I really only see me and Alc'

Situations had to be a G about

Gangland, come and see what we about (Come and see it)

Shook it up like an iPhone, I had to undo the changes (Shake it up)

Get back to my old ways, homie, I been reachin' up for greatness

Every time I had fell down, got right back up on the pavement

Ever since my first placement, knew that we was on some outer space shit

[Interlude: The Alchemist]

Ayy, yo, yo

Yo, wake up, man

Get the fuck up

Uh

[Verse 2: The Alchemist]

Y'all wanna know why he won't quit

Y'all wanna know why he won't slip

Came in this game, I was green

Created a scene and then wrote me a script

Call up an engineer, tell him to power the Pro Tools and load me a clip

This is Shaq goin' up for an alley-oop catchin' the Kobe assist

My wake-up clock alarm is tickin'

Everybody's not equipped for this trip, it's a long mission

Every time I walk out the crib, I blow my mama kisses

Dealin' with depression, you don't what type of drama this is

I gotta hunt to put my family's dinner on the dishes

Stick my fist in the river and pull out a palm of fishes

Too many gatekeepers in the game, I had to draw the bridges

It wasn't 'til I stood on the mountaintop that I saw the riches

Uh, diggin' deep down in my soul, I'm searchin'

I admit that I make mistakes, but nobody's perfect

I never been the preacher type

'Cause what do I know? I'm just a man still climbin' the ladder and tryna reach the height

Three years old, was already sold

Used to sit on my grandmother's lap while she played the piano and tried to make melodies mold

This is my life, I'm givin' you every detail of the story 'cause if I don't do it, it'll never be told

Better be bold before I give up, while I wait for a turn, Heaven'll burn and Hell'll be cold

[Chorus: Johnathan Hulett & The Alchemist]

Nothin' to prove, but I'm still on the way (Uh)

Day in and day out, I ain't come to play

Gotta make my mark before it's too late

It's my time

Nothin' was given, so nothin' to take

Got too much on the line, I got too much at stake

God be with you if you get in my way

It's my time
