It was err'thang I wanted Never talked sh** and I never even flaunted But I knew I was nice, and I knew I was tight I just had to do my thing find my groove on the mic Put my city on the map, homie I'm shaft, k**ing these s**as, imma Bad motherf**a !, tired of the sh**, tired of the pain Hunger, pa**ion, this thing got me drain I'm just trynna do what I know how to freakin' do Most n***as now days they don't gotta f**in clue Cause they think it comes fast told'em bust ya' a** ! And don't you dare stop til you get yo' f**in craft Get the sh** set, get the sh** tight Before you make it to the stage and the flashy bright lights, I be rapping my a** off like it's Christmas, no days off man that's Non existent, gotta stay consistent, gotta stay persistent, Cause if I don't imma end up an a**istant working a desk job Getting minimum wage
