Yeah

Look

Lately I went missin' with no permission

It's part of it

I been workin' harder than competition from start of it

Now they lookin' at me

I see 'em all through the rearview

Kill yourself to get your spot

Then they die to be near you

They think that I made it cause I made it past them

They were never the target

My target is past Em

They laugh

But they laugh too

And they talk to me back then

Guess it's déjà vu

I'll be back when I lap them

Hate that I acknowledge haters

Call it a curse

I'm on a search for validation

Guess I don't know how this works

But I'm learnin' on the job

You can never please 'em all

I see why rappers get that money

And then all they do is ball

Let 'em know

I can feel the transformation

I don't want to change

But part of me just wants to make it

Pardon me while I vacation

Part of me wants to be famous

But what good is being known if I don't 'member what my name is?

Everything is changin'

I just pray it's for the better

This used to be my diary

Now it's an open letter

Hope that I can take the heat

I been used to the coldest weather

I'll do what I gotta do

The industry should know what's better

I say the real s**t that you afraid to say

Then I get s**t for sayin' it

I'd rather get a thanks

People steady takin' shots

But more and more they feel like blanks

And all these rappers get upset

My team is movin' up the ranks

Get your weight up

I don't wait up

I can't count the night I stayed up

Man, sometimes this life's a b**h

But I just hope that this b**h pays up

Used to want it, now I need it

That's the difference between failing and succeeding

Far as underground goes

My numbers do the talkin'

Couple hundred on the table

All I gotta do is walk in

But I won't

Really I could use the money

But I don't

Reputation all I have

And that a'int ever worth a quote

If all I'm worried 'bout is cash

I be in the game for a second

I'm in the game to break records

Not in the game to take second

Where the hell is my crew at?

Behind me, boy, you knew that

Soon as I get a little bit of buzz

It's like these people try to do that

Soon as we get a little bit of pub

It's like that circle get a little tighter

Soon as we get a little bit of loot

Those people's eyes, they get a little wider

'Bout done beggin' for greenrooms

I be like "Bruce, just give him that rider"

Got yo chick all on my s**t

While you just stand there right beside her

Like it's cool

I'm just tryna' wrap my head around the fact that one day I'm nobody

Then I'm a celeb

What's the basis?

I'm in different places

Ride with me or let me be

Only gettin' better

I think I'm ready for anything
