[Verse 1]
I walk the valley of the shadow of death
I wanna be the best nothing more nothing less
Barely sleep had to separate myself from the rest
I told y’all all my dreams but fuck y'all all cause yall slept
Fuck the execs, and silly mother fuckas thats behind desk
When they heard about my project they ain’t wanna invest
Don’t they know I want this shit more than I want my next breathe?
What you expect? man I had to hit the streets and finesse
I was scamming, card cracking and fucking with them checks
Gambling flipping my money I got dreams to protect
Need studio time, I gotta grind and show them I'm next
On top of that i got a lot of things to get off my chest
My pops put millions in other things but not in his son
How you think that make me feel? Besides emotionally numb
The truth of the matter is a nigga lacking the funds
But y'all say I got it easy man y'all niggas is dumb
Never got no hook from Keyshia, never got beats from london
Never got a verse from nicki man this shit is redundant
Damn
This the type of shit that put fire in stomachs
All the perceptions and misconceptions rising above it
Always been misunderstood, since adult hood
Cause niggas don't know I come from a wild hood
They think I'm hollywood like this shit is all good
Im from Brooklyn, East New York dawg I wish a nigga would
[Verse 2]
On nights when my parents ain't give me no money
Realized i was gon starve and remain hungry
I came to my senses, Im way too dependent
I dont like this feeling do whatever to prevent it
So I pull up in the trenches, in the same benz I be flexing
Tryna hit a lick but everyone think I'm pretending
Tryna make a profit, and put money in my pocket, see I'm tryna get it but these niggas think I got it
The curse of being popping, they think fame means money
I think this shit is funny cause i play them all like dummies
This that industry shit, I seen this shit with lil twist
Perception is everything you ain't even gotta be rich
Just gotta stay in the mix, and bitches gon think you lit
When bitches think that you lit you know they gon let you hit
Then niggas get on your dick, cause the bitches that you be with
You find your self hanging out with these niggas and taking pics
Start thinking that they yo partner but watch out because they switch
When they find out that the juice they think u have dont exist
Now you caught up in a lie and you have troubles escaping
Miss me with that shit my nigga Im just after greatness!
