[Hook x2] 14 years in and I haven't struck gold (not yet) Deep down, these sounds are coming from the soul Life a movie, i'm directing and i'm starring in the role Been dreamin' with a dollar and that's word to J. Cole [Verse 1] I put on for the place, got love for the city Once I blow, it's a go, i'm taking the town with me I'm just tryna' get it right, right now i'm talking Dizzy Been dreamin' bout this sh** before my bars was ad-libby Understatements over greatness, overpower, underrated Over faded, over hated, i'm overly dedicated Educated to a point where school ain't doing it Been on the grind and I can't stop proving it
[Hook 2 x2] 14 years in and i'm coming for the crown Hold it down to the ground, for the dreamers all around Deep down, these sounds are so profound Not stopping my journey till i'm Hall of Fame bound [Verse 2] I paint a dream like a young Pablo Pica**o Over loops, Lupe but the bars never Fiasco Promise land plan, on my way to the Dorado You ain't got no f**in' BG in your Serato? Animated bear flow but this ain't Chicago All my homies ride though, all my homies fly though We been on the grind since that 1999 flow About to do it big like we just won the lotto
