Back on my badness, and it's workin' non -stop from the summer to the winter time
Tryin' not to trip now that I can see the finish line
I never really thought of what I'd do when I wake up in time
And now I'm sayin' this little light of mine, I'ma let it shine
Even when it's gettin' windy in the night And though it get chilly, yo, I know the Holy
Ghost is rollin' with me Even when I'm in the venue and the people rollin'
Nicki finna blow, gettin' gassed up Look at all these people with their hands up
Look at all these people quotin' stanzas Old heads always told me fame was a cancer
But who we tryin' to get it?
We ain't eatin' if we don't Yeah, the game don't change
Needin' nothin' but just the flow for a minute
So we tryin' to build a boat Yeah, the game will trick you harder
You might end up in the moat if you ain't get right
Check this out Homie, let me ask you, what you do for?
What you winnin' for?
Retention?
Or you winnin' for the fans?
Won't you tell me?
What you stand for?
It's like every single day I meet somebody And they always say they're rappin' as they
Call it
They ain't bout their hard work They ain't makin' an investment
So they quit if they ain't ballin' They ain't in it, though
What you know about the cost?
What you know about relationships lost, huh?
What you know about bein' broke?
What you know about performin' after people see your show, huh?
Everybody tryin' to fly, but they never stop to think about the way they gon' land
Gotta keep a strong foundation in the industry A vibrant swimmin' in this quicksand
Let me tell you about
Take me back to a time in my life when it was all simple
Just my homies and my girl and the people that were part of my team
Tryin' to be a lion in the dark, but it's hard when this world's so simple
Now we crackin' on the pressure, tryin' to run up on them in the big league
In it, what you doin'?
Homie, what you say, boy?
In it, what you doin'?
Homie, what you say, boy?
In it, what you doin'?
Homie, what you say, boy?
In it, what you doin'?
Now we crackin' on the pressure, tryin' to run up on them in the big league
What you know about it?
All these people around me and they claimin' that they bad at it
Got a couple day ones stayin' real and I don't doubt it
But to me, I really see my circle gettin' off the curve
I don't know about them all, I don't really trust it
You gon' help me out from when I fall
Got a couple numbers I don't pick the phone up when I call
Isn't simple, really, if I think I'm callin' it
Yeah, ooh, don't talk
Way too many thoughts I should be keepin' to myself
I got a ego issue that I think is plumbin' off the shelf
And I should take it to the Lord, but I just deal with it myself
It ain't workin'
Now my show last week, I saw a bad shit twerkin'
Tryin' to keep my heart guarded, but after I started talkin'
All my values and my conscience went to walkin'
Now when I go holla, hey, man, what you doin'?
What's your name, where you come from?
I'd like to take you outside, maybe take you on a ride
Yeah, maybe we could do somethin'
She said she liked the show and she liked the way I spit it
And she really did the flow and she listened to the lyrics
And she said she got a question, said, I'd really like to hear it
And she asked me if I felt like I'm this man named Jesus
Ah, yeah, all that, yeah, I'd like to be the one to fill you in
Maybe later on tonight, we could talk about it more
When we're talkin' about my grip
Yeah, I'm on worse behavior
Hittin' out the name of my risen savior
And I know that he'd forgive me, but honestly, man
This game is gettin' to me on a real, though
Take me back to a time in my life when it was all simple
Just my homies and my girl and the people that were part of my team
Tryin' to be a lion in the dark, but it's hard when this world's so simple
Now we crackin' on the pressure, tryin' to run up on him in the bed
Nay, in it, what you doin'?
Homie, what you say, boy?
Nay, in it, what you doin'?
Homie, what you say, boy?
Nay, in it, what you doin'?
Homie, what you say, boy?
Nay, in it, what you doin'?
Now we crackin' on the pressure, tryin' to run up on him in the bed, Nick
