Ainโt never slowing me down, oh no no
My passion โ a reason for my existence
My success the product of my persistence
Self-made, I did it with no assistance
Luxury suite view through these Cartier lenses
Huh, and we started in the nose bleeds
No my feet up on the wood in my own seats
Court-side and itโs cheap bucks versus Knicks
Watch my homie B Janice, drop 36
And thatโs a definition of, when pain meets love
And it turns the game, and you earn your name
Then girl come, will you earn your fame?
Get off me, Iโm too hot, you canโt burn a flame
And my teacher told me, got my rap dreams whooped
I still pursuit even though I seem ridiculous
The taste of success bittersweet like licorice
I fly with the wings of Icarus
And when I achieve, I could turn with much satisfaction
To reply Michael Jackson was not ignorant sexist
So back to my dreams of riches
More money, more balls, more rings ---
Yet many believe in God but they ainโt religious
Iโm suspicious, I believe in them digits
I believe in them digits
So picture me above the sky
Shine a brighter day, sunlight
Iโmma find a name in the stars
So everybody knows who we are
And Iโmma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
Said Iโmma be about, be about, be about, be about, be about, be about it
Before they even think about, think about, think about, think about, think about, think about it
Yea, let the black flag fly uh
Yea, and itโs a waste when this new money canโt buy taste
Bought their selves some Versace, mispronounce it Vercese
Itโs my time, blow your mind like an ounce to the face
Yea I do believe in miracles, heaven is so empirical
You could see the way I climbed up the ladder
Education โ Ivy League, Iโm talkin mind over matter
And so called innovators is always asking for favors
Then they take the credit to the fruit of your labor
But not me, Iโm a beast, thatโs JF Leccord Jeezy
Not many can say they play keys with Eas-E
Or they had a couple girl on their knees to please me
I canโt leave the game, not yet, it still needs me
Uh, so let the black flag fly
My vision of ascending the heights that rap canโt buy
Itโs fully realize when I open my eyes and stop dreaming
Iโm stuntin while you lames is scheming
Kiss the ring, I got the gifts of a king
Yea, let the black flag fly uh yea
