Elephant in the room so let's talk about it
I'm coming straight from the zoo with guerillas around me
My closest friends next to me why do I feel surrounded
I got those snakes up out the grass
But now my thoughts are cloudy
A lot people out here telling me I'm next to be
A lot of women out here talking to me sexually
Trying to follow in my steps there's no retracing me
Constant motion through the city
No complacency
Level headed through the chaos I've been making peace
We're not the same I'm off the chain and you the weakest link
Trying to follow in my steps there's no retracing me
Constant motion through the city
No complacency
Chasing my dream never gave it up
Telling the truth I can't make it up
Got a game plan that you can't disrupt
Told you that I would win from the jump
Seen you pocket watching now I gotta keep that forty tucked
Remember times when I was stress out over forty bucks
Life will test your patience when you're down niggaz will test your luck
Diamond in the ruff
I'm the miracle that lighting struck
Even in my darkest times I found a way to brighten up
I'm the last of a dying breed
If real recognize real I know who's really fake
When you're on your own
That's when you realize who really wants you to come home
Even though they know you're on the road and chasing your goals
Trynna make a better life
Than this one that I know
I know I'm not always right
But tell me where'd I go wrong?
I'm just trynna make a living out here singing my song
A lot people out here telling me I'm next to be
A lot of women out here talking to me sexually
Trying to follow in my steps there's no retracing me
Constant motion through the city
No complacency
Level headed through the chaos I've been making peace
We're not the same I'm off the chain and you the weakest link
Trying to follow in my steps there's no retracing me
Constant motion through the city
No complacency
Have you ever been broke and scared to talk about it
Eviction notice on the door of your apartment housing
Money makes the world go round there's really not no ways around it
But there's some people in this world who can do without it
But I'm not one of them I'm trynna make a hundred thousand
Generational wealth is something I've been prioritizing
Finally fed up and that's why lately I've been vocalizing
All of my concerns while you've been simply out here socializing
Finding different ways to kill a beat while trynna stop the violence cause
When you're on your own that's when you realize who really matters the most
A lot people out here telling me I'm next to be
A lot of women out here talking to me sexually
Trying to follow in my steps there's no retracing me
Constant motion through the city
No complacency
Level headed through the chaos I've been making peace
We're not the same I'm off the chain and you the weakest link
Trying to follow in my steps there's no retracing me
Constant motion through the city
No complacency
