Do What I Said

They don’t want you to succeed, they say chill instead
Test your talent then you’ve got them coming for your head
Should be on your terms, how you make your bread
Fear will keep you down in a failure’s bed

They don’t want you to succeed, they say chill instead
Test your talent then you’ve got them coming for your head
Should be on your terms, how you make your bread
Always swore that I’d be great. I’ll do what I said

I subscribe to my own methods
Grew up dodging hoteping
Plus fearmongers saying don’t step in
The direction that could leavе me broke after
I fall

But falling’s normal
That’s how you walk aftеr toe stepping
Once you had to crawl. Then growth lets you
Start standing tall and you can go get what
You want

I’m sick of waiting for changes
That’s why I’m putting out bangers
Don’t need your cosign or praises
Ronin methods
I do what I want how I want it set and
Come hell or high water it finds a way to
Come to to me just the way I saw it
True to myself no soul selling or barters
Cemeteries full of creative martyrs

Who took what they had to the grave
Constantly running away
I never learned how to save
Now that is biting me
When I’m denying me
Know that I’m changing my ways

Used to just live for the moment
Now I am simply here roaming
Feel like I don’t have a place
Never belonged
No code, but my skills I’m honing
While people learn of my name

Yeah

Look at the way that I move
Yeah
Like I’ve got nothing to lose
Yeah
Sacrifice everything
Emotions heavy but
Now I have so much to prove
Yeah

What do you think you would do
Yeah
Once you discovered the truth
Yeah
That you had to absorb some risk to fulfill
Yourself and what you see is no ruse
Yeah

They don’t want you to succeed, they say chill instead
Test your talent then you’ve got them coming for your head
Should be on your terms, how you make your bread
Fear will keep you down in a failure’s bed

They don’t want you to succeed, they say chill instead
Test your talent then you’ve got them coming for your head
Should be on your terms, how you make your bread
I always swore that I’d be great. I’ll do what I said

Yeah Yeah
I put too much into the last effort
To lay down if it goes bad, never
I’m too stubborn
I’m too reckless
I lose hardly
My moves, check them
I used to stall if
My views wrecked me
Their’s never mattered
Too useless, see
I ignore that chatter
I’m cool, collected

When I say I will get it this time
It’s dangerous setting my mind
Because it happens
Just as sure as this
Overweight nerd is rapping
Though my funds are lacking
And I’m rocking bags under

My eyes because I’m losing sleep
I catch I big W they come like sheep
Patting my back. Want to go and get drinks
But when I need help, no it’s never a peep
(It’s never a peep)

I don’t let it phase me
Used to the pain and the mazes
I have to solve and be patient
Look I just work. Pound the pavement
Consistency has its wages
Everyone I know of who has found greatness
Didn’t get to it cause of brilliance
They only found real fulfillment
Cause they never stopped
(beat drops)
Do you carry that resilience

Don’t give up
Cause that is part of the process
Yeah
Taking way more wins than losses
Yeah
Tough but I’m never better
Honest repping
Is better than shafting my conscience
Yeah
Grabbing some game from the bosses
Yeah
Climbing this ladder is costly
Yeah
I’m terrified constantly
Mistakes accosting me
But I will get it I promise
Yeah
