[Intro]
Listen, if we don't get in trouble for this one
We gon' at least get some phone calls
Rap game was too involved
We was always tryna time a blow-up
Maybe right or wrong, we would prove 'em all
We was always tryna time a blow-up
Guess that's why I went and blew it all
[Verse 1]
I know what I said, I'm sorry, I can't be the same kid
That was prayin' for breaks at eighteen
Like a young Michael J did
I would rather be nameless
And my God never changed, the way that I pray did
Now I'm beatin' on records, they hear it in hеaven
It's inconsequential if this on your playlist, that's a placеment
'Cause at fifteen I was hearin' the voice of God, like ready or not
At seventeen, I was given a shot, He handed the rock
At nineteen, idols saw what I got, I dropped the first record
They told me potential, I'm checkin' the watch
At twenty-one, dummy still hadn't dropped
Now twenty-three, I will not miss a-
[Interlude]
Being a rookie includes this obligation and responsibility
To prove that you are established for greatness, you're there
But in order to stay you gotta prove
You know in order to be great you have to prove
Congratulations, man, you're there =, you've done it
But what are you gonna do next to be great?
[Verse 2]
Boy I really thought it was a guarantee
But all the attention put the fear in me
I tried to be what they wanted
Apparently, that wasn't what they wanted, ha, silly me
I spent years of my life circling
Always almost where I thought I'd be
Maybe this the one, maybe it's a dud
He said, "Patience, son, that's up to me"
