[Verse 1]
Uh, I think I realized what they mean
They told me it would get to me, shame I didn't believe
Lines are getting blurred between friend and enemy
And lately all the shots have been directed at me
This the first song I've released in a minute
Said hello to the game and I told it that I missed it
People probably shocked like, "Oh, he's still in it?"
Never scared of my identity, windows never tinted
Said a lot of things and trust me, I meant it
Some skipped the truth and others just bent it
Others trying to ball but we all know you rented
Who gon' save you now? I just hope you repented
Yeah, she's been helping me a lot, dawg
Trying to keep me up and away from being lost, dawg
Making me a king cuz it's better than a lost cause
I'm ready for some beef if somebody pa** the hot sauce
Weeks ago I stressed less
Life is such a toddler, I'm just picking up the mess
Someone's gotta tell 'em the Goliath is the best
Cuz some of y'all were doubting, ha ha yeah, God bless
Yes, I'm the one who ate the cereal
The one who wrote realness and never repped material
The one y'all said that ripped off Drake
The one whose spirit you could not break
I've been pretty quiet when it comes to my opinions
I can see your crew grew, your fan base is minions
Your big dreams are far from what I want
If you got none well then here's your first loss
Talking to my engineer, trying to make it out here
Started gaining confidence, found less to fear
When has my future ever been this clear?
Did I really rise above my own peers?
[Verse 2]
Man, I got so much to show y'all
I think you're gonna love it, and it's only cuz I know y'all
Website on the way, tape is dropping one day
It's not on Google Play, you never gotta pay
I won't sell garbage, man I know this
Getting greedy with the green, that's kinda bogus
Kid Cudi work flow, working day and night
Trying to make a masterpiece, trying to make it tight
Trying to start the year right, I'm just trying to take flight
You're trying to end me, but my summer's too bright
I'ma do a lot of things, maybe do some shows
What you got to show? Cars and ho- clothes?
Heh, still the same David
I've always been the weird one. "Where's all the bangers?"
I've witnessed all the chaos, I avoided the dangers
It's honestly okay if we end up strangers
Trust me, you are not all that
I gotta knock you down, show you where you're really at
After 20 years you're a distant memory
Saddest story ever but you can't blame me
That's who your fans are, homie
Never would've thought it'd get this far
I was just wondering where the stars are
I'm hated, I'm loved, and a little in between
The curse of entertainers, hope you know what I mean
Hard to grind all the time when we're blind to the signs
That we're either gonna crash or we're gonna reach the sky
Yeah, I'ma drop this year
[Outro]
I'm honestly really excited
Like, I'm stopping the verse just to express this
Man, The Resistance is gonna be huge!
This is a new era, man
Thanks for coming along for the ride
