[Pre-Chorus]
They gon' say the boy top ten when I'm tapped in
And I follow what God said
I mean, I just don't see average on the list of all the options
When I clock in
I just hit nine thousand hours, but it's not ten
So, right now I'm locked in
And may this summer never be forgotten, oh man!
[Chorus]
Yeah, they want me to live my life for me (I)
Yeah, that sound like a pointless life to me (No way)
I brought all my family to the table, let 'em eat
Yeah, way we livin' life right now, it's just hard to believe
[Verse 1]
I think I leveled up one, two, three, ten times in a month or two
"Who the young kid unashamed, makin' everybody else uncomfortable?"
I care less about the money moves (Yeah)
Like what you gon' do when your life is just all about the paper
'Till someone pull the rug out from under you?
Who are you running to?
Dawg, I mean life is more than just a common thing
Speak to the people, I'm striking on nerves and tugging on heart strings
Spirit is moving and I fear no human
I focus on goals and I go out and do it
I'm building a house brick by brick
We started with ruins and now we on to it
In love with the music and maybe that's why
I, yeah, maybe that's why I been puttin' on this like, sheesh, sheesh! (Okay, okay)
Certified pop hit, flow still toxic, crowd in a moshpit, sheesh, sheesh! (Woo)
Drop new content, party with my friends, yeah, I do it often (I do), sheesh, sheesh!
I strain my wrist too much writin', do it with the off hand
[Pre-Chorus]
They gon' say the boy top ten when I'm tapped in
And I follow what God said
I mean, I just don't see average on the list of all the options
When I clock in
I just hit nine thousand hours, but it's not ten
So, right now I'm locked in
And may the summer never be forgotten, oh man!
[Chorus]
Yeah, they want me to live my life for me (I)
Yeah, that sound like a pointless life to me (No way)
I brought all my family to the table, let 'em eat
Yeah, way we livin' life right now, it's just hard to believe
[Verse 2]
Now it's time to rap a bit
Just to prove that I've never not had the pen
I'm accurate enough that I haven't missed
I'm back to back to back, made a splash with this
And ever since I was boy, out-rapping men
Knew the passion and practice would lead to lasting impact on the masses
So I mastered my craft in my classes on café napkins
And wow I never been on top, but move out the way, 'cause this my year (This my year)
Young Bieber with the mic, you heard (Okay)
Tell everybody that life is worth (Okay)
Living, I'm just trying to preach Christ, you heard?
In it 'till the day I die, of course (Of course)
Cup overflowing, I got the source, that's why, that's why (Yeah that's why)
Yeah, maybe that's why I muted my ringtone, sheesh, sheesh
I swear these folks hittin' up my phone, I don't wanna speak though, sheesh, sheesh
I just wanna write songs, make a few stacks, love God, love people, sheesh, sheesh
Look at my team though, Coop, young Henny and the Eastside Hero (Eastside)
Woo, yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, they want me to live my life for me (I)
Yeah, that sound like a pointless life to me (No way)
I brought all my family to the table, let 'em eat
Yeah, way we livin' life right now, it's just hard to believe
