What they gon' think, what they gon' say?
Why the f** am I worried about it?
Why am I the one they doubted?
Why is confidence not compliments of talent?
And why am I asking why?
It's so childish
I pay too much attention to it, call that sh** allowance
Working hard as hell I just be tryna keep my balance, ah
If you gon' build it just know what you let around it
Control what you surrounded by or they gon' have you surrounded, uh
I keep my head in the clouds but still grounded
Love airport runways, we all should feel that way
Wanna know how it feel on draft day in the worst way
Underdog they had me in last place in the first place
Staring at this ash tray as the purp blaze
I want more to celebrate than my birthday
Burdens on my back I know you read what the shirt say
Skip outta Oklahoma this is the First Take
Lawton, Oklahoma where I'm from that's my birthplace
Just make sure they get that right
Look at these posers and how far they go to live that life
This sh** is pitiful, right? This what you did for this life?
My flame been burning for some years, you n***as lit for the night
S/O my n***as for life who make sure I'm living it right, look
I always been the one they didn't invite and I
I can't lie the sh** really used to bother me
2013 and I seen exactly what I'ma be
My closest homies switched up wouldn't nobody ride w me
That explains why you don't see noone beside of me
Me against the world I swear it's such a beautiful rivalry
Cuz really it ain't too much to trust
All you got is you and really only you is enough
Look
Everybody worrying about everybody else while I'm just working on myself f** all these rumors and judgements
Cuz I'ma get judged anyway...
f** your opinion you been afraid
Life gave me lemons and I made lemonade
These thirsty attention who*es keep begging to get a swig and stay
Like what you mean? Hell nah you can't get a drank
Yea you may have asked for it, but you didn't think
I've learned that life's a game of knowledge real or fake
It's always give or take
No talking, I illustrate what I demonstrate
Had a desire to intimidate, that went away
That was my defensive mechanism you know how n***as hate
Avoid em cuz I can't afford to go on dinner dates
Overdrafting for my craft, what a difference this spending makes
They say that you spend what you make but that belief is made up
In all reality we really spend what we made of
Either something you stand for or something you afraid of
You either gon' change up, or st, stay up
On my way up I ain't ask noone to wait up
Guess everybody ain't capable of the same love
I gotta face these fears I look em in the eyes
I'm grateful for a pops that taught a youngsta how to rise
Young star getting startled but don't ever look surprised
I'm cool on this earth but I'm better in disguise
I don't let too much show but I ain't never in disguise
n***a I ain't ever in disguise dog
That fear had me tryna wait til' it was too late
Nah, I'm too great
If you want proof, wait
To stop me tell these haters they gotta k** me
Cuz I don't feel fear and don't care if nobody feel me
