In the Clutch

[Chorus]
The bar raising, we keep moving it up
And no surprises here, they knew it was us
Apologies if I was doing too much
But I always came through in the clutch

[Verse 1]
I got faith restored, why you pushing the brakes?
I ain't full of myself, boy, I'm full of mistakes
I came from humbling roots, I'm here to stand and deliver
Had no one gasing me up except the man in the mirror
I used to work on my handles, and now it's handles of liquor
I write these songs in a dark room, the candle will flicker
I stay practicing heavy for when the game's on the line
It's likе over and over, I run the plays in my mind
I'm a psycho, I'm taking my timе
Rushin' perfection is a dangerous crime
You gotta give it or take it, that's what you do 'til you make it
I had to roll with the punches and take the hits from the flagrants
I'm saying

[Chorus]
The bar raising, we keep moving it up
And no surprises here, they knew it was us
Apologies if I was doing too much
But I always came through in the clutch
An off game don't mean I'm losing my touch
And no excuses, I ain't using a crutch
Apologies if I was doing too much
But I always came through in the clutch

[Post-Chorus]
I was falling
Had me stalling
I was way down
Now I'm balling
I done came up
And I called it
I done came in the cluch with the game on the line
I know

[Verse 2]
I operate from a higher place
Wait, some decisions don't dry-erase
I'm doing what I can to fuel the flame like a fireplace
To make a bunch of money, buy my mama a fire place (on my mama!)
We make incredible songs then celebrate and get mad lit
Once upon a time in Hollywood, I'm like Brad Pitt
My homies say I live the life, yeah, just a tad bit
Learning how to move in this rap shit
I told 'em that

[Chorus]
The bar raising, we keep moving it up
And no surprises here, they knew it was us
Apologies if I was doing too much
But I always came through in the clutch
(I was falling, had me stalling)
An off game don't mean I'm losing my touch
(I was way down, now I'm balling)
And no excuses, I ain't using a crutch
(I done came up, and I called it)
Apologies if I was doing too much
(I done came in the cluch with the game on the line)
But I always came through in the clutch
(I know)

[Post-Chorus]
I was falling
Had me stalling
I was way down
Now I'm balling
I done came up
And I called it
I done came in the cluch with the game on the line
I know
