I built it from the ground up Act like they found us From the sign of the label, tried to drown us I built a boat in a moat for my castle I graduated to a businessman, I got ta**els Another chapter, another story, another plot Mother f** the ball in their court, I took a shot Three presidents in 5 years, I never stopped While they worried about the single sales, The albums flopped Oh Lord, Lord, Lord there they go Trying to f** me out another but I ain't a ho I produce and write my own sh**, I know the score I'mma drop another mixtape, and go on tour We ain't playing games man, I'm too grown For you to try to take me out my motherf**ing zone For you to try and tell me I ain't motherf**ing known I guess I gotta do it how I done it on my own, uh I been a free agent n***a I been a free agent n***a Even when I was signed It was multi 'til I die I've proven motherf**ers wrong Every goddamn time I been a free agent n***a I been a free agent n***a Naw they can't hold us Put my whole team on my shoulders Now there's money on the way 'Cause the contract over What good is a team if they don't ball out with you? Domino business they'll fall out with you At the table with the majors they go all out with you 'Til you're underground with it, they won't crawl out with you So they serve, serve you a plate Full of scraps and the bait You ain't eating so you ate You ain't moving so you shake What you can 'Cause you gotta drop another album But ain't make a mother f**ing dollar, oh!
