[Verse 1: A Game]
Uh, pen to the pad nigga check my swag
Nah fuck that, I ain't never pop tags
Started puttin' on, couple niggas got mad
But I put 'em all down like the dogs in the pound
Born in the Bay, a lotta niggas still hate
Plus back then, little Aaron got all A's
Now I'm A Game, so ironic how it changed
Cause some niggas rockin' chains like we never been slaves
White in the hood, no racists, face it
I been gettin' straight since braces
I remember everybody rocked them bracelets
Rest in peace to a young life just taken, wasted
Everybody throwed like Aikman
But I was raised knowing God like Satan
Funny how we all fall short of the Amen
And I want it all, no time for debatin', uh
Really I just want it for my fam
Do it for my moms and my pops and my grams
Flow so dope, I ain't sellin' no yams
Talk about shit y'all can't understand, damn
Quittin' ain't really in the plans
Spit like a K 'til my whole life grand
Smart nigga like Sir Isaac Newton, but I got the QB vision like Cam, ugh!
[Hook: The Concept]
My life is like a hustle, know I see it then I write it
My life is like a struggle know I see it then I write it (8x)
(What you ride for?!)
(Is you gon' die for it...Huh?!)
Long days...long nights... workin' hard, my whole life
When I'm strugglin' I'm gon' write
[Verse 2: Scotty]
Dear you, you've got to move like you never seen obstacles
Don't slow down, that is not optional
They say improbable, you say its probable
They say its possible, stunt go phenomenal
So people won't accept the fact that you are the one...
Like Neo in the Matrix, so when they notice they ain't shit
Well, you know that they pissed
They continue to take shots, even though they know its a miss
Cause gravity can't hold me back, as if I'm weightless
Have patience my child, soon, you'll be on top of this pedestal
Chiefin' green vegetable, like you're a Seminole
Girls on my genitals, gettin' real sensual
Tryna make chemistry without the chemicals...
Don't settle, start a riot, fuck it
Just start a mutiny, don't stop until you're sittin' high up
Like you are chillin' in, a booster seat
You'll have a few defeats, don't let it be your ruining
Let the greatest of all time, be the only words in your eulogy
Remember where you are now, is exactly where I used to be
This whole verse was just a letter... from a future me
Hook
[Verse 3: The Concept]
Livin' in a mutha fuckin' jungle, the state my mind's in
Angel wings on these violins
Thoughts liftin' my bars up, I got fists bangin' like Tarzan
Cause that pain felt when you got fam
Strugglin' to make ends meet that makes
Smart niggas do dumb shit
If I'm off track, I won't see that break
This cold world, I keep heat at bay
I'm too blessed to walk down that road
It's a long ass night, n a nigga can't write
Cause the pain might drown my soul
I done had some dark nights
But my skills shinin' like car lights
Windows to my progress and that glass flyin' like barfights
(my vision!) yeah, my guard tight
I got no time for that doubt you brought
My confidence is my fuel man
Cause I'm rich minded, I value thoughts
I can't step backwards
Sometimes friends are the best actors
Seein' the world in HD while rappin'
For niggas gettin' clapped like step practice, it's real
Can't spend life backseat drivin', man I gotta cop that whip and fly
Ain't trippin', my two decades on Earth been tough, but it ain't breakin' my pride
Motivation inside, n I been separatin' my ties
From the haters, complacency, n impatience is bakin' my mind
Uh, I can't be wastin' my time, I was 13 when I first spit
People tellin' me to just give it up, you ain't that good, it ain't worth shit
So this track 10 years in the makin', and that relevance is my mission
Keep that fame, when the lights die down you ain't gon' miss it
Huh, y'all gon' see my vision
