[Intro]
Eh, na, na, na
Yeah, na, na, na, na
[Verse 1]
I'm Done with bullshit, at this point I'm merely amused
'22, checking in, it's like a yearly review
I ain't making no commitments 'less I'm seeing it through
And that shit ain't always easy to do, nah, it ain't easy to
'Nother year alive, pushing my dreams
Finding balance while I'm looking at screens
I look out for the team, caretaker, never doubt the regime
I built a following off loyalty without a machine
Make my coffee, throw a beat on
Go get what I'm owed and that's just something we agreed on
They said it wouldn't be long
That's besides the point, I'm finally feeling like I belong
Just being me, that's the type of shit that we on
I'm sick of stressing 'bout these numbers, man, they tire me out
Thinking I need a required amount to be happy
Stupid ass, that's like chasing a high
I'll never reach, kiss the happiness and wave it goodbye
While I'm scrolling on the internet, comparing myself
It ain't right, but being aware of it helps
I gotta put my phone on DND
Having conversations, it's just me and me
List of thoughts are piling like lines are at the DMV
Everything gets handled, please, one at a time
Take a break, know I'm here for the ride
Now let it slide
[Interlude]
Ooh
Slide, slide, now let it slide
Ooh
Yeah, uh
[Verse 2]
I've been putting out these hits, motherfucker, who you think that I am?
It's Mr. Always-Overcome-When-On The-Brink-Of-A-Jam
I'll be damned if I don't ever have the power to thrive
I ain't waiting 'til my flowers arrive, I'll pat my own back
They said it's not the way I took it head on, I ain't go back
Document the journey, check the catalog and Kodaks
Picture's worth a thousand words, wrote at least a thousand words
Multiply that shit by thousands, I've been losing count of words
If we talking 'bout a verse, I can keep it round-for-round
I put it down, just found a hearse, ain't a day I'm out of work
I can put a clinic on, that's just to show you how it works
Master of my craft, now take a seat and watch the crowd observe
[Outro]
Word, now watch the crowd observe
Master of my craft, now take a seat and watch the, uh
