Pre-Hook:
Look
Since 1999
I been on the rise
Between you and I
I feel so alive
No fear is in his eyes
Had to kill the pride
So many want this life
But can't stick to the grind
I been on my own
All my foes could die
I don't have a throne
I'm just by His side
I been feeling fine
Running outta time
I work like clones
All by my side
Hook:
Aye...
Fresh new cut like yessir
Diamonds can't be made without pressure
I got now, fuck who's next up
They watch close, now, niggas playing catch up
I'm what's new; Star Ledger
She love speaking on times where I messed up
She hate speaking on niggas where I flexed up
Team was all down bad, now, we blessed up
Verse:
Aye, the facts here is plenty
It's facts or it's Fendi
It's cream like it's Temptee
They moving they shifty
Aye, look, I'm not from this era, I move like I'm vintage
I want all my credit, give me the percentage
No matter tha person, I don't trust incentives
I'm under the grid, I move with precision
If it comes from God, I'm always gon listen
Every since mid-January
Following my dreams got real, less scary
All my losses was did prepare me
Every step I take gotta be legendary
If I went back now, it would be a downfall
Niggas wanna see me win, now niggas involved
You getting to me is another missed call
I don't miss with hits, I don't miss y'all niggas
I see rejection as a missed direction
I just see their efforts as a retrogression
All eyes on me, with a Tupac check in
Said that I would do it, now they double checking
Your greatness is not what you have, but your greatness is what you give
Yeah, they gotta past, I forgive, but trust me, I don't forget, yeah
Hook:
Yaya
Fresh new cut like yessir
Diamonds can't be made without pressure
I got now, fuck who's next up
They watch close, now, niggas playing catch up
I'm what's new; Star Ledger
She love speaking on times where I messed up
She hate speaking on niggas where I flexed up
Team was all down bad, now, we blessed up, nigga
Ight, so boom check this out right...
