[Verse 1]
I walk the valley of the shadow of d**h
I wanna be the best nothing more nothing less
Barely sleep had to separate myself from the rest
I told y'all all my dreams but f** y'all all cause yall slept
f** the execs, and silly mother f**as thats behind desk
When they heard about my project they ain't wanna invest
Don't they know I want this sh** more than I want my next breathe?
What you expect? man I had to hit the streets and finesse
I was scamming, card cracking and f**ing with them checks
Gambling flipping my money I got dreams to protect
Need studio time, I gotta grind and show them I'm next
On top of that i got a lot of things to get off my chest
My pops put millions in other things but not in his son
How you think that make me feel? Besides emotionally numb
The truth of the matter is a n***a lacking the funds
But y'all say I got it easy man y'all n***as is dumb
Never got no hook from Keyshia, never got beats from london
Never got a verse from nicki man this sh** is redundant
Damn
This the type of sh** that put fire in stomachs
All the perceptions and misconceptions rising above it
Always been misunderstood, since adult hood
Cause n***as don't know I come from a wild hood
They think I'm hollywood like this sh** is all good
Im from Brooklyn, East New York dawg I wish a n***a would
[Verse 2]
On nights when my parents ain't give me no money
Realized i was gon starve and remain hungry
I came to my senses, Im way too dependent
I dont like this feeling do whatever to prevent it
So I pull up in the trenches, in the same benz I be flexing
Tryna hit a lick but everyone think I'm pretending
Tryna make a profit, and put money in my pocket, see I'm tryna get it but these n***as think I got it
The curse of being popping, they think fame means money
I think this sh** is funny cause i play them all like dummies
This that industry sh**, I seen this sh** with lil twist
Perception is everything you ain't even gotta be rich
Just gotta stay in the mix, and b**hes gon think you lit
When b**hes think that you lit you know they gon let you hit
Then n***as get on your dick, cause the b**hes that you be with
You find your self hanging out with these n***as and taking pics
Start thinking that they yo partner but watch out because they switch
When they find out that the juice they think u have dont exist
Now you caught up in a lie and you have troubles escaping
Miss me with that sh** my n***a Im just after greatness!
