Verse 1:
So people started doubtin' the second I got mic
Sayin' you don't really have it you trash and just not right
They gave me no time for the grind like other sk**s
Well that's how I kept it real
Let em talk trash while I work in the lab
(Pause) Put more hours than any friend at their craft
Serious, ask the people in my house
Always Makin' sound motherf**er what now
Well lemme tell you from here on out
That My sh** gon bang and that's no doubt
Work seven days a week, bout you
Won't complain, I love stu
People disrespect doe never understand
So it's understood where I stand as the man
If you wonder why I'm late don't hesitate
Yeah The mixtape relates
Anyway I'll reintroduce
Mic a**a**in in the John Wilkes booth
Spit raps so they call me rapper
Spit crack but don't call me a cracker
I'm Buddha witta a mic and a lipo
I'm poppin' like a knife to a lifeboat
I'm stackin' these eiffles in my home
Like rifles stifle with my dome
Said it then I meant I I'm a menace my friend
Better get the message cause I won't send it again
No, only repeatin' the grind, belevin' mine
Look down on your wrist and you will find, it's Matty time
Tic toc, hip hop, my shot, my chance
One shot no second glance
Intro:
Sometimes it felt like I was chasing rainbows
Others it felt like success was around the corner
The grind is incomparable
Takes a toll on ya, in a good way
Verse 2:
M a double t to the y everytime
Ima say my name as much as I like
Found identity
Got right mentally
Lost my pops, grandfathers into two years vanishin'
In the clouds like when I roll up
Hot box when when I pull up
And the wonder why my confidence is shooken
Cause the wall behind got tooken
But I grinded through the restless
Took time invested
Tamed the beast now the flow is domestic
Aim for the world and correct it
Doin' everything they least expected
Live a life of a star
Found my shine in the dark
So the way they look at me
Is different cause they see the spark now
I see in their eyes, they finally realize
It finally paid off, still much more to rise
Yeah, man I've grown so much stronger
But still just a little bit longer
