3 PEAT (Remix)

[Intro: Elijah Kyle]
Yeah, yeah
From the depths of the abyss
You already know who it is
One time for the reals

[Verse 1: Elijah Kyle]
I love it when you envy my success
Throwin' shots got 'em pissed off
Mad 'cause all your life you been game seven, Chris Paul
Instead of being bitter, you should focus on you
I'm preachin' game to my community to further the youth
Y'all some key-typin' activists that makin' no change
All that cappin' in your captions got your ego in flame
Made it out of hell's fire, never scorched by the flames
Mixing freedom, faith, and politics, a dangerous game
I must admit that for a second I was scared that I'd fall
But bitch, I'm playing game six every time that I ball
Stop projecting insecurities, I know that's from yourself
Y'all just throw away your money, I'm invested in myself
Fuck an ordinary lifestyle, fillets when we dine out
Left your shorty screamin', reaching notes like Amy Winehouse
I waited for some years for a chance, it's my time now
If you don't know the name Elijah Kyle, you will find out

[Bridge: Abstract]
Haha
Better put some respect on it
It's Abstract

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Okay
Find me any day, I'm in my office—that's my studio
Duckin' from an industry that's yet to give me what I'm owed
Independent, CEO, have you seen the fucking clothes?
Yeezy would be heavy breathin' peepin' what we've cut and sewn
Viral 'fore the Tok was tickin'
Y'all ain't cut out for the life
Seems like everybody and their mother tryna grab a mic
Seven years been full-time with it
Know a gimmick won't survive
Came up off of music that'll send you back to nine-to-fives
Illest rise you ever seen, my reality was dreams
Back when DatPiff was the only place to get your music seen
See, back in the day, we used to have to make albums
Mixtapes, full cohesive projects
Y'all just out here throwin' singles out
Y'all don't know how to make an album
We still out here doin' it
Fuck it
How many homies do I know that changed up for the game?
Used to hit me for advice, now they don't say a thing
I don't give a damn what your numbers look like on Spotify
You know without my legacy you wouldn't have your spot, if I
Didn't make the blueprint and pave a couple of lanes
Not mad, just disappointed in everything you became
Apple fell so far from the tree, I guess that it's rotten
I just wonder what's the price that you paid for all that you've gotten

[Verse 3: Elijah Kyle]
Told my parents that I'm leaving
Packed the car and then we dipped out
Gratfeul for my city but I had to take a new route
Had to leave home to appreciate it more
How do you create a wave when you never left the shore?
From the place I was raised in, knew I had to make it
Just to go and show these kids you're capable of greatness
Opportunities will slip away if you don't take it
Abstract minded, think it seems diminished in this generation

[Verse 4: Abstract & Elijah Kyle]
Yeah, I know it's easy come and easy go
Reason why I'm 'bout to spend a few more decades throwin' quotes
Haven't hit my prime—expectations you should optimize
You can call me Optimus, the game is a deceptive con
Paid to play, labels tryna make waves like water parks
Grassroots with it, brought tsunamis with a school of sharks
Blood in the water, better check on whose it is
Know the flow could leave 'em fried—I like a league, I pick the fish
Yeah, look
Ay, yo Luke, it's pretty crazy what we did from rap
We gave our two cents and turned it to a bunch of racks
Never had to go Hollywood, kept our souls intact
Never faked it to make it, we took an honest path
If you're still behind the glass waitin' for your time to shine
I'm thankful for the long road that taught me how to value mine
Go and do the work, that'll teach you all you need to know
The most fulfilling path is when you merge the mission with your soul
