[Intro]
Yeah, uh (Tha Biz-Tha Bizness)
[Verse]
Workin' all fall, workin' all summer
All year long, my call log been seein' more numbers
When you want it all, you gotta give your all to it
Worried less, I started prayin' more, give it to God
I can't let my dream defer, won't let me stall further
Starve further, fosterin' my hunger, gotta march, soldier
Ayy, say, my nigga, we at war, what you gon' do to win?
How you gon' protect the shit you built if they start movin' in?
What make you different? Can't no nigga view life through my lens
And duplicate my bruises, cuts, the pain that 'twas excruciate
See, I had this one dream sincе a youth, a jit
Since a ruthless kid, to be thе biggest nigga in it
Let me move your spirit
Back when a star was a star, when meet-and-greets was in malls
Niggas gettin' chased to they limousines by fans all in awe
Wanted to be on 106 & Park, Rap City, givin' 'em hell
Spring fling, perform in my draws, MTV Cribs on my lawn
Back when a rapper was frowned upon 'cause that dream was far
When little Little Cease was that nigga, when Little Kim was my aunt
Before this shit got so personal, magazines was in stock
You put your favorite rapper poster in your room on your wall
I never let it slip, forever been in debt to this
And stood the test of time, through every loss, I gained a lesson
Back when CYN was prevalent
It felt like we was gettin' close, but didn't hit the nail with it
Lotta different egos, lotta different goals
I sat back in the dark and didn't excel with it
'Til I dropped "The West" and saw some light, it gave me breath again
Puff wanted to sign me, I ain't know if that was where my life was headed
So I didn't take no deals, but I still represented
Time killed the moment, though
I seen my motion go emotional, this roller coaster got a nigga low
I can't lie, but I ain't give up, nah, I picked my chin up
Moved to the A to finish my job
V was at UCLA, moved in with Bri and my moms
It's time for me to keep goin', seven-eleven, let's drop
I see the wheel turnin', still workin', different studios to get a feel
We just hopin' somthin' work 'cause different battle, bigger hills
Stay consistent, as the time goes, my mind roams, discouragin'
A nigga gettin' older, life is worrisome
Can't go get a job 'cause that'll burden me
Feel like people know me, but a lot still never heard of me
Pockets filled with lint, is my pride in my way?
Nigga, nah, do your job, it's okay
The world is yours, if you believe, that'll be great
And I stayed the course, became a force, and hustled day to day
2022, I worked, led us to meet with Dram and Lake
Now I'm here to set the record straight and make it clear
Sign my deal, I did all of this for my inner kid
And it's only the beginning for me, never give up, my nigga
I'm the example, you should listen to me, I made it happen
