[Intro Chorus]
I'm doing what I do, and I won't quit
They try to press me to a template, but I won't fit
I know I ain't the same, they try to make me change, so I go do my thing until I've broken all these chains
I swear it's such a fight, cause everyday I wrestle, foot up on the pedal cause you know I'm tryna make that next level
Tryna make that next level
Next level, tryna make that next level
[Verse 1]
I swear I'm in this 'til my fifties now
Breaking records till they say that I'm in Ripley's now
Round the world cause I got dreams of touring cities now
I'm an experiment but don't feel like the guinea now
Nowadays I'm finna go and blow make an appearance
Just know that I'm the same my story still ‘bout perseverance
Because society is based upon stupid adherence
They sell you on perfection wait until it goes on clearance
And everybody says that you can go and do your thing
They act like it's so easy man all it takes is a swing
But really you can't there unless you've been in a sling
Cause tell me what's an instrument if you missing a string
Everybody don't really get it, what is there really to turn up for?
Stringing 'em up like you was yelling wa**up man check your watch now it's half past four
I don't ever wanna go and k** it on the mic, if I don't get the chance, to tell 'em what's right
Give 'em insight and sit in the light, we about to go so hold on tight
[Chorus]
I'm doing what I do, and I won't quit
They try to press me to a template, but I won't fit
I know I ain't the same, they try to make me change, so I go do my thing until I've broken all these chains
I swear it's such a fight, cause everyday I wrestle, foot up on the pedal cause you know I'm tryna make that next level (yeah)
Tryna make that next level (that's what I'm tryna do)
Next level, tryna make that next level (ooh you know I'm tryna make it)
I swear it's such a fight, cause everyday I wrestle, foot up on the pedal cause you know I'm tryna make that next level
Tryna make that next level
[Verse 2]
I swear I'm in this till my dying breath
I chose the good life, I chose the one with real tests
And we the best, I had to get this off my chest
Because I'm pressing all the haters and I'm repping for the west
Out the building never see me fumbling
I hit the stairs and skipped the walk and then went right to running
Wrote triple digit amount of songs and they think that it's stunning
My music's becoming what they're humming it ain't for nothing (and now it goes like)
Level up, like Mario Kart
Leaving me well I'm ready to part
Mixtape I'm ready to chart
Touchdown and I added a yard
If you see the plan and know what it about
Can't play the game if you got any doubt
'Til you finger-licking every bit of evidence you getting so you never gonna miss the attention of scouts
[Chorus]
