Keep that same energy when you see me
This is nothing like you ever saw
A bunch of niggas out here wanna be me
They're gon have to try real hard
Yeah
Uh
Lost my sister to the drugs before she died of cancer
Lost my mind inside the hood trying to find the answers
Tried to find a block to hustle on to make some money
Cuz said I had too much to lose don't let them take it from me
That's when I found out that I had a gift
Found out I was gonna live my life outside the averages
I'm from the era where cops called us savages
And good schools and good jobs we couldn't access it
So now it's crab legs off the boat
I put the shells in a Balenciaga tote
First album full of quotes I was broke
So I'm jotting in my notes tryina document the growth
No I ain't"On The Radar" cause I ain't on they're radar
I killed every freestyle, but I don't think that Sway saw
Top rapper list in my city but my names off?
They don't notice your work until you Takeoff
Huh, same city as World Wide Wes
I'm done tryina connect
I'm on everybody neck
Cause life short
You can't waste it chasing your respect
It's two ways to say the phrase"Take what you can get"
Shit goes wrong
Now you can stay mad about it and make that shit prolong
Or you get your growth on
Control where your souls is going
I'm hoping that you pray for me
Lately God been saving me
I know that he always did
But lately it's been blatantly
Clear as day for me
Like the red flags I had when these chicks was dating me
I feel awful I broke hearts to avoid the vacancy
If I don't give her my heart than what they gonna take from me
Funny now I feel the same about the business
And all the fake friendships
Divorced the companies and separated from the critics
The industries are dead because they let the numbers kill it
They adding up the streams but subtracting from the spirit
I said fuck all of them numbers
I want someone to feel it
I get it off my heart because I know what's gonna heal it
I ain't reaching for the masses, I been focused on my village
Had to lease off all my masters
Don't believe I let them pillage
But it's fine, I'll get mine back in 2029
I've been focused since Covid
This is a 2020 grind
When my my bro had overdosed in 2020 I was crying
Hindsight is 2020, we was 2020 blind
We ain't see just what was happening
I almost didn't rap again
Start to see success, but I won't ever see my dad again
I know, and he bought me my luggage
It's ironic cause I feel like him whenever I'm out traveling the road
Cause he was on the go, I'm on the go
So many hours spent away from home
My tour ain't even booked yet
And I ain't even mean to, but I followed in your footsteps, I'm cloned
So fuck it I'm another you
And I do this music that's because of you
Can't nobody tell me what to do and that's because of you
And I'm making sure they say the junior that's because of you
And that shit because of me
I built up the company
You ain't got my blood then good luck on becoming me
These niggas is wanna be's
But they can't copy my data
Trailblazer by nature
Highly blessed high favored
My faiths as high as a skyscraper
I made up my mind
I ain't taking my time, times made up
It's Donnie
How time passes by
We keep shit moving because you'd never know why
Keep that same energy when you see me
This is nothing like you ever saw
A bunch of niggas out here wanna be me
They're gon have to try real hard ooo
Ooo Don Michael Made this?
