[Intro]
AP, you made this?
Ayo, Lowrenz, whatchu doin'?
[Chorus]
I know what is mine, gotta give it more time
Got my mama on my line, sayin', "Get to the grind"
Yeah, she say I'm behind, I just turned 25
I don't think she realize that I'm one of a kind, yeah
I know what's mine, please don't blow my high
You would say all good things take time, now I'm wonderin' why
[Verse 1]
Everybody at my neck, they comin' at my throat
'Cause I'm tryna go up, at least just show up
Most these lil motherfuckers don't even got the soap
These people out here know us, they climbin' on the tour bus
Mama, I know I had 12 on my ass and I left you concerned
I'ma still get what I deserve
To be honest, you obsessed with the cash, I'm obsessed with the past
I don't think you know
[Chorus]
I know what is mine, gotta give it more time
Got my mama on my line, sayin', "Get to the grind"
Yeah, she say I'm behind, I just turned 25
I don't think she realize that I'm one of a kind, yeah
I know what's mine, please don't blow my high
You would say all good things take time, now I'm wonderin' why
[Verse 2]
I wake up, hit my 9-to-5
I get a check, invest it in something that's gon' complement the grind
Mom think I'm wastin' time
And the shoes we steppin' in never see eye to eye
The sad thing is, you see it all
I gotta be up and stand tall
The sad thing is, you see it all
I know you'll be there if I fall
[Chorus]
I know what is mine, gotta give it more time
Got my mama on my line, sayin', "Get to the grind"
Yeah, she say I'm behind, I just turned 25
I don't think she realize that I'm one of a kind, yeah
I know what's mine, please don't blow my high
You would say all good things take time, now I'm wonderin' why
