[Intro: RIL's friend]
And that's what you're doing now
That's why it's hard for you but you're doing the hard grinding now
You are a man that's
You know what you're doing now?
I've got a good analogy
You're the man that's stripping down the walls of the house, of the flat
Filling in all the cracks
Doing all of that
All of that tedious work, that's what you're doing now
You're doing all that preperation work with a masking tape on
While everyone slap-dashing the walls
They want to slap-dash the walls
They just want to paint
You're a man that's paintstaking
Filling in cracks and all the chips
So when you finally start your painting It's gonna be beautiful for you (Beautiful for you, beautiful for you)
[Verse 1]
They say I'm on fire like matches
Couple fights deep and I'm winning these matches
Grew in the ends where they don't want no latches
Mowing the lawn and that shit had it's patches
Patching my way since I came out the womb
My hood got raided, couple people in tombs
Hair not braided but in Ambrose would move
Flashback is dumb, I presume and resume
My wrist, yeah, it weren't really popping (yeah)
So candy was stranger to pockets
The ends were massive with the rockets
Shooting so deep like the rockets
Rocking way before the beer
Way before the Jay's
Way before the flosses
Now girls want a Prius, Toyota
That's on ten toes, not in motors
Someone please tell me the motive
Back to back wins like I'm rapping on Otis
Driving the whip, can't afford to not focus
Start with my bros, it's the norm like we Jonas
Hypnosis
I'm so in down my thoughts
Am I still living sports?
Do I still need to pour?
The circle around me is missed but get's too extort
[Verse 2]
And that don't mean every so
And that don't mean every face
The same man that ran me down twice in dead hotels
Now I'm staying in a nicer place
Miami holidays
Things overcompensate
I'm raisng my daily raise
One of the rule-dons around me just copped the new crib
That's the closest I am to snakes
Them pythons be bygon, yeah
Sipping my Morgan, I'm Pierce
The shine of a dime in the pairs
I'm 21, come with the desk
They say I'm savage with the stairs
I'm just L.A. living like the stairs
The game is so still and we chairs
Said the game is so still and we chairs
The chair that I'm in, that's the hot seat
She told me ''Sir, that's approxi''
Said the swag is so cold that it's frosty
But I'm immature just like The Frosties
[Chorus]
Intermission
This is the intermission
Niggas doubting on my inner vision
And if they conquering then we missing
Even though losing's just reminiscing
It's the cost of living
Know we're ladding, wishing (Yeah, know we're ladding, wishing, ayy, yeah, know we're ladding, wishing, ayy)

[Outro: RIL' s friend, RIL & Ninj]
It's not easy, man
It's not easy but you're sometimes, you know, it's grey outside as well
Just really depressing
But yeah, keep grinding
No matter what you're doing, just keep going
Ups and downs, ups and downs, up and down
You'll get there eventually
Aight, mandem, I'm done on the phone, ayy listen
What, I thought we were doing it all night and we're staying up and that?
Mandem are sleeping
Man's all tired and that, man
I'm not gonna lie that does make sense but bro, I need something upbeat
Aight cool, let me just run this one then
