lyrics

[INTRO]
They try to say I can’t be this or I can’t be that
They try to say I can’t do this or I can’t do that
They try to say there ain’t no way for me to be
Me in this world today
So let me show ‘em how I play

[VERSE 1]
I play it cool and relaxed like it don’t mean nothing
I take my time
With the scope
And the dope beam hunting
I rock it sick
To the clock
With the slick tick-tocking
Ahead quick before the dot
So fuck the knock-knock-knocking
Head bumping
Heart pumping when I’m in the street
My feet stomp into the concrete right to the beat
I’m in the drivers seat
I’m in this deep
It’s bitter sweet
Until the day I sleep

[HOOK]
I keep on climbing till the day I reach my peak
And I ain’t never goin’ stop until I get what I seek
Sometimes this life will make you wonder who you are
Fill you up with doubt especially when you’re taking it far
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get the honey
And fo’ to get some mo’
Oh ! Thats what I came here fo’ !
Oh ! Thats what I came here fo’ !

[VERSE 2]
I don’t roll for dolo
No man is an island
But when I leave this earth
You know I’ll do it solo
That’s how I move and I understand
Show them the right
But keep the ace buried in my other hand
I’ve canned several plans and ideas
And did all this to elevate with my peers
So if I’m driven to shift gears
It means I need to catch up
To lock shit down and keep the latch up

[HOOK]

[BRIDGE]
Don’t always know where I’m going
I keep my head up and straight ahead
Got too much pride to sit and beg
I’ld rather stand on my own two feet
With everything or without
Clutching onto hope
Crushing the doubt
In my circumference
Mind-state tough like pumped fists
Keep my anger under control …
But still crunch and toast enemies like crumpets
No matter how dubious life’s scenario gets

[OUTRO]
They try to say I can’t be this or I can’t be that
They try to say I can’t do this or I can’t do that
They try to say there ain’t no way for me
To be me in this world today
So let me show ‘em how I play
They try to say I can’t be this
So I be it
They try to say I can’t do this
So I do it
They try to say there ain’t no way for me
To be me in this world today
So let me show ‘em how I play
