[Verse 1: TwonDon]
Yeah... Hear the potential in my mental, when I'm using this pencil/
These dreams we follow grew far from hollow just look what we been through/
Your hometown won't commend you, n***as talk sh** to offend you/
But I'm thorough in every borough yo what chu tryna get into?/
Grind with the meanest team and the goal is green/
They gotta respect it - doing in fine in time we living our dreams/
I'm counting the seconds, tick-tock/
I see the sand drop, won't give us no shot/
Either they threatened they see us stepping our way to the top/
We climbing - and with this rhyming we avoiding them sirens/
I turned my struggle into a hustle now the rest is with timing/
I'm being patient/ Uh
Better say sorry for that late sh**/
Cause n***as is starvin' going through problems dying to escape it/
You playing on every record, give a f** what you saying/
Momma stressin' she need a blessing & I'm tired of praying/
Do that sh** night and dayin'- look to the sky when I'm laying/
On verses I'm penetrating - vivid vision I'm painting/
I sit back, and think what life would be if n***as ain't rap/
I know these b**hes will prolly diss us from the sh** that we lack/
They still gon f** us, no they don't love us - so I don't call em back/
It's UpperCla** until my casket carried on six n***as back/
& those my scholars, every thought I ponder be bout them dollars/
We need them commas cause spending with limits ain't my persona/
You hear me? Laid out the blueprint and I followed it clearly/
Now these n***as is turning b**hes quicker then Tyler Perry/
Like na uh - do it for momma, Shout out to papa/
Who kept my pockets with decent profits when having nada/
I keep it moving, UC the movement now who gon stop us/
I'm so suburban, til reapers calling I keep it Golden - haha/
