Alright
I'm ready
Why does it feel like it's raining when I know that it is sunny?
I see that everybody is preoccupied with money
Don't put it to 'em lightly Imma put it to ‘em bluntly
The same dudes who all my fans now all the dudes who used to jump me
And they chill outside the schoolyard tell my teachers they ain't do it
Blowing up my phone asking me to feature like I'm stupid
But that will never happen you know Imma wear the pants now
Never catch D walking round with his pants down
And Imma keep my pants up, right by my waistline
All I need's a drum, kick, snare and a ba**line
Everytime I spit, people tell me that I'm it
So I'm playing tag with minutes homie all I do is chase time
I wish I could erase time
And bring it back to how it used to be
Before these blood-s**ing ba*tards started using me
They say that all I need's a new look and some j**elry
But manipulation ain't nothing new to me
I tell'em
I am, who I am
My own thoughts, my own plans
From a boy, straight to a grown man
And this right here, I built with my own hands
I tell them that my time is now
My time is now
I tell them that my time is now
My time is now
Chilling with my Sherlock Holmeboys, my flow is such a mystery
I am a historian, I'm recording history
Writing all my thoughts down, down to my Papyrus
Iller than the gorilla that gave'em all the virus
I'm just, looking for the string I can pull, I'm Gepetto
I'm a boss, I am working on my staff, Donatello
And they all want me to quiet down
But I'm a fellow, who is still screaming for his one shot, amaretto
So, you can say I'm chilling on the rocks
Yeah my team told me to go and give'em what I got
But, even what I got, that isn't saying much
Getting phone calls from people who say they wanna stay in touch
But, I don't stay in touch, that's just how the tables turn, no DJ
And I ain't ever do it bid like eBay
But I got bars like a prison and position the city
On my shoulders like broken cars on the freeway
I am, who I am
My own thoughts, my own plans
From a boy, straight to a grown man
And this right here, I built with my own hands
I tell them that my time is now
My time is now
I tell them that my time is now
My time is now
Take a look at what I'm building, take a gander at my drywall
Got the word ‘success' tattooed on my eyeballs
I guess that it's my fault, I'm tryina stand out
And make sure everything I dream about'll pan out
But when I step inside the booth I go and black out
Cause I just speak the truth and these dudes talking bout things they don't act out
Now what is that bout?
Are you listening?
Or are you too busy emulating and fitting in?
Damn, they hating on me like Christensen
Throwing everything except the thing you put the dishes in
Nah, but I ain't tryina sink
I am tryina blow past, everything that you may think
I am chilling at the bar, and looking for a drink
Tryina medicate the fact that most these rappers f**ing stink
Yeah, before you get a chance to blink
I'm on a van right to the bank, you could say I'm on the Brink
I am, who I am
My own thoughts, my own plans
From a boy, straight to a grown man
And this right here, I built with my own hands
I tell them that my time is now
My time is now
I tell them that my time is now
My time is now
