Let me introduce myself properly
As I make this beat my property
Probably 'cause I'm a young prodigy
Hoping that my momma proud of me
Even though I'm possibly not profiting
But I guess I should only talk about that privately
If I ain't got money then what's my net worth?
But if I'm a fisher of men, then what's my net worth?
Been looking up for so long that my neck hurt
A phoenix rises from the ashes look what the flames birthed
Jack of all trades I stay getting triple doubles
The look in her eyes lets me know that I'm in trouble
Only got the bass, so that you can hear my treble
I've got ninety-nine problems and I promise they're all mental
And not a single one has faded
Because I've constantly debated
What it will look like the day that I have made it
Upgraded the payment, or is it my name in the pavement?
Or just me making a statement, or made it out of the basement?
I've evaded complacent, how great is the Gracious?
The fate of the faces lies in his patience and I'm a patient
Too underrated to face it
Devastated with my placement, but the underdog always ends up being the favorite
Ugh
Sights set at the top dog
Call up K.Dot I'm trying to figure out how much a dollar cost
Look at the holocaust, and question if my god is real
But I still send up a prayer before every meal
I don't know what to feel, that's what happens when I enter the mine field
They say that time heals, but my heels are hurtin'
And I'm certain that I'm flirtin' with burdens
In urgent need of discernment, and I don't want to be divergent
I want an abundance of bundles of prayers
But instead, all I got is a bunch of naysayers
But I, keep running like Gale Sayers
Because one day I will elevate, but for now, I'm just taking the stairs
Because right now I'm locked in
Got demons looking at me saying that, "we have got to stop him"
And I guess that's where the laziness is from
And that's real reason that an album hasn't come
But I, stayed in school got my college degree
Now I'm, burning up at a thousand degrees
And I, hope my brothers don't get jealous of me
'Cause I'm Joseph in my robe I've never doubted the dream
And I, don't need a feast
But I pray that this will provide enough for me to eat
Like with Wade and Shaq on the Heat
One piece for me to compete with the elite
To achieve the feat the Lord I need to follow His lead
If you cut me I will bleed
If I lose something then I will grieve
And this is the part where I let you know that I also made the beat
Ugh
