It feel like
Ay-yeah, ay-yeah, ay-yeah, ay-yeah
Look, with 20 dollars in the tank
And even less in the bank
It be like
Ay-yeah, ay-yeah, ay-yeah, ay-yeah
Yeah, we like
What can I do, ooh, ooh
Yo, yo, I don't know
So I guess I'll just enjoy the ride
They say it ain't no compromise, nah
Ay-yeah, ay-yeah, ay-yeah, ay-yeah
Look, where all my dreamers at?
Passion over paychecks, we still believe in that
And though you might not understand, but we at peace with that
Either you got it or you don't, it ain't no teaching that
And this my way of reaching back
I chose the long road, walking over hot coals
Tryna get in locked doors
In the basement tryna improve on my flows
And making beats in between eating my mama tacos
Frustrated about this path that I chose
'Til five in the morning every day with shop closed
My mama coming home from work in her shop clothes
Telling me don't work a job that you hate
But for her it's too late
Don't settle for nothing less than what
You deserve in every word that you say
You stand by it and nothing is perfect and nothing is learned in a day
But every night that I'm losing sleep I see the concern in her face
But never stop until you finish is what I learned in this race
And never chase second place, give God the glory and grace
Don't worry mama, nah, ain't nothing I learned went to waste, woo
I can't wait to get on
That's what I used to say
I can't wait to get my mama out the hood
That's what I used to say
I can't wait to write around the hood
That I used to stay
I can't wait until it's all good
It's what we used to say
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
And to my niggas, it's nothing like we imagined
Who ever thought this would happen?
Wanted money and fame, be careful 'bout what you asking
Be careful who you hold on to, be sure 'bout who you detach from
Decisions is everlasting, this path you never go backwards, uh
Be able to see through the folks that make you think you need them
But they really need you, peep the evil in people
Don't let a follower lead you with a smile, that's how enemies move
Know the difference in business between a favor and a recoup
Keep your secrets to yourself, keep your weakness to yourself
They'll pump you up to go to war but when you bleed nobody help
They try to keep you dumb to hide the fact you don't need nobody else
Could be surrounded by 30 people and still feel you by yourself
And never forget what's in your heart '
Cause they gon' judge you by your wealth
And this shit'll tear you to pieces '
Til you don't recognize what's left
Look, just watch every step, take your time, do your best
And just know the path you chose is a motherfucking mess, boy
I can't wait to get on
That's what I used to say
I can't wait to get my mama out the hood
That's what I used to say
I can't wait to write around the hood
That I used to stay
I can't wait until it's all good
It's what we used to say
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
This shit deeper than rap (Hey)
It's goblins that be in the back
If I get on the track, facts, I'ma need me a rack
'Cause mama got bills too, you ain't thinking of that
See I peeped, sheek, nigga, I want it so bad
Almost stopped dreaming but I'm nothing like my dad
Nigga, facts, mama told me I'm something, I needed that
Left school, smoked so much weed, my eyes flat, ayy
I'm in my bag, bitch, it's true
When I kill you rap niggas, it won't be shit to do
Shit, I just seen my nigga die so why
Would I be sparing you? (You, you)
Fuck if I'm coming off rude, nigga
I been sipping, ain't been eating food
Listen news, ain't gon' tell y'all shit, we making moves
Moon water got me floating in my fumes
Wolfpack, lil' bitch, ain't shit they gon' do, ayy
I can't wait to get on
That's what I used to say
I can't wait to get my mama out the hood
That's what I used to say
I can't wait to write around the hood
That I used to stay
I can't wait until it's all good
It's what we used to say
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
We saying na, na, na (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
Take pride in your talent, kid
Just make sure you have that same exact
Pride in the folks you choose to manage it
Always know the difference between friendship and management
And you take on the reputation of the folks that you standing with
So be careful
Just be careful
