They Never Thought Lyrics[Verse 1]
They never thought that I could make it this far
Them eyes look at me with envy but I'm still unfazed
Sadly
I'm still the underrated king, in the deepest pits
Still I rose up like concrete roses
The difference is I'm heating up and y'all still frozen
This is on some Mortal Kombat shit I'm feeling like Scorpion
Pedal to the metal you can't see me I'm so focused
Your punchlines so wack they can't even land a jab uh
Smoke your bluff, laughable when they think they tough
Gimmе the crown already I know I've been rеady it's never luck
I never celebrated St. Patrick's Day it's been that way
I'm more about the people and less about the equals cause
Hatred comes for only the minority, we live rent free in they heads I ain't gotta worry about the bills uh
Your so third eye blind
The only thing building in that forehead is a receeding hairline
Lemme buy a ticket for y'all cause the future so cinematic
Like a caterpillar in a cocoon they don't know what coming, they don't know what's coming (uh uh)
[Prelude : James Baldwin]
[Verse 2]
You gotta be illogical if you think I'm not the greatest
“that's just being cocky man”
Yeah that's how I play it, I play it like a broken record
I can't stop myself cause there's something y'all ain't seeing
It blinds the vision but not this one
I ride for the dead presidents I cannot resist
The city full of talents but it's still full of cannabis
That's why my youth always dies from the cursed fatalities
We always see it but the system doesn't add on it
So I guess they get fat pockets so they balance it
Money rules the world but still never acknowledge it
It killed my brothers, my sisters, my forefathers and mothers
If you too black for honour, they eat you up like vultures
I feel like there's no more authority
Cause our security only attacks minorities while we live in poverty
Man...
This is just man-made tendencies
Rap is the only thing saving me from insanity
I hope it doesn't end like this
I throw the towel in but I keep my ring up
The darkness always moves but I always got my chin up
[Hook]
They never thought that I could make it this far
I never thought that I could make it this far
They never thought that I could make it this far
Them challenges ain't nothing so I rise from above
