The Making

[Intro]

I mean I figured, I figured I'd give you the real me

So you could feel me, yeah

[Verse 1]

This is what I call the makin' of the motherlovin' greatest

Amazin' how I made it through the gutter to your playlist

Some still wondered, I tunnel through all the hatin'

And I made it to the top, y'all can stop your debatin'

I lay face with my face to the pavement

Days when I slept on the floor, my aunt's basement

Ain't lookin' for remorse, I just showin' you the basics

Course I was forced to make it or be the wasted

Niggas could've loved, instead they engraved hatred in they hearts for me

Please God, turn the cards for me

I'm on top of the world with no apostrophe

I know my mother's up there with you

I know she lookin' down at me through a clear picture

Bear with me, let me share with you

'Cause in my lifetime, I jot it down when I write rhymes

See I was left lane cruisin', I wasn't in my right mind

How could y'all judge me?

If y'all don't love me, just say you don't love me

Fuck it, I ain't lookin' for your love nor judgement

Long as this money more comin'

Niggas I don't love nor trust them

The grind got me addicted to cash flow

Room spinnin', feel I'm sippin' in a fast forward motion

Tell the waiter pass more portion

Gotta thank God for my mom, she could have had an abortion

I'm true meanin' that dreams can come true

If somethin' that's a lie can never become true

So if you got a dream, believe and just you

'Cause when everybody gone, who left? Just you

We can master crash up bein' active

We are more than people, we are the masters

If I wasn't here, I prolly be in the casket

Gotta get money, nigga, fuck livin' average

Come on niggas, you gotta think smarter

When you ain't got much, you gotta think Sparta

Life swing at you, you gotta swing harder

Think before I shoot, it's more Vince Carter

Uh, I been alone since 14

Was forced to be the man on my own since 14

Stand for more things but plans for more dreams

They put me in positions to sit inside the land of no dreams

How could you blame me? This is my life, nigga

This no entertainment and nigga, this is real

If it's fakin', I never claim it

My life written in stone, this shit is ancient

This is ancient like a slave ship

Niggas pussy 'cause I take trips all around down

Now I'm on my grizzly jams, to the damn town

Know I'm on curve busy like a pretty, brown round nickel

[Chorus]

I can't let the time just pass me

So don't worry 'bout me

Baby I'm outchea

Dreams that I'm chasin', I can't forsake them

But I'm gon' chase my dreams until I die

So don't worry 'bout me

Baby I'm outchea

Dreams that I'm chasin', I can't forsake them

[Outro]

Yeah, constant repetition

It's passive aggression

I mean I been doin' this so long

It's like I feel like

I could go twice what I already did

Feel me
