I think it's long overdue for me to start with a flex

I had a really bad month but got a couple of checks

Totaled to seventeen thousand, it wasn't the best month

That I've had this year, but I'll do better the next

These labels hit me up like they were down to invest

I said I'll break your bank, and they were looking perplexed

You get a buzz, and they all start biting like insects

There ain't a number they can throw that's leaving me impressed

Manifested and I did it on my own

Brought the day ones with me, I was keeping them afloat

Saw something special, I knew they were gonna blow

Now it's like incest how they be f**n' with the bros, like woah

That's way too far, let's slow down the hometown

Is slowly becoming a ghost town, the low down

Is they wouldn't be there to hold down when I broke down

So now when I see them I throw down

I prayed every single night that I would get my break

Staying up late, never took no breaks

Feeling like I been running stuck in place

Every right turn there was ten mistakes

I knew that I had whatever this shit takes

Never look back, way too much is at stake

They're looking at me like I'm digging my grave

As long as I'm alive I ain't gonna play safe

My heart froze over, all I feel is dread

I'm growing colder, hanging by a thread

I try to fight it, all I see is red

The truth is blinding, they left me for dead

I think it's long overdue for me to quit being modest

I been a vet inside a game where they treat me like a novice

Man, y'all done taxed your worth, I'm here you give you an audit

You'll get a cold shoulder while I'm becoming the hottest

I never broken a promise so when I said I'ma blow

I ain't doubt it for a second, it's just something I know

The same people that were hating on me ages ago

All peaked back in high school and now they in a plateau

While I grow with no limits, no caps, no peaks

Used to run from it, now I embrace my freak

Of nature self when I been rapping on beats

Need a world record for the most killstreaks, I'm weak

People text me knowing we don't speak

Wanting in now 'cause they know they've peaked

They see me glowing up and their futures bleak

I been playing hide and seek 'cause I cried

While they all stabbed my back, and they lied

Giving me thoughts to pull suicide

I ain't have nobody there by my side

While I'm sitting thinking of taking my own life

All I had left to do was just try

Everyone doubted, I would confide

Inside of myself, my heart was my guide

Look at me now, b**h I'm doing just fine

My heart froze over, all I feel is dread

I'm growing colder, hanging by a thread

I try to fight it, all I see is red

The truth is blinding, they left me for dead
