Primetime

[Verse 1]
Came so far from them days of begging for boxes of food
It been a lot that I proved
I bet on me to take this road, that ain’t the popular move
Boy I was poppin back when holes was in my socks and my shoes
I ain’t debating with no haters dawg I’m not in the mood

We grew up sharing everything that we was rocking in school
So if I had some bangin jeans then they was rocking them too
Pulling outfits out the trash bag, the obvious truth
We got a boost from honest roots, and now it’s optimal views

Remember Mommy coming home heating the pot with the stew
I knew I got inside my groove soon as I hoppеd in the booth
I been through Hell and back for real, how could I possibly losе?
How could I not be Annunaki, you’d be wild to assume

My partners, lot of em doomed, but I’m still indebted
Cause all they wanted was a chance and they would kill to get it
The realest message when they told me if I keep it real I’m legend
Everything that tried to threaten my build it was still a lesson

They ain’t know I came out premature, so I was born in ATL
They said I wouldn’t make it past my birth but I ain’t take it well
They said I’d be impaired, but as a baby yo I rang the bell
Cause baby boy amazing this the story that they made me tell

Cool in my maneuvers cause I knew my momma raised me well
That’s why I’m making songs and staying strong
Until they pay me well
Starving on a telly floor, yea I been through a crazy Hell
A lot of people only helped us up so they could say we fell

I learn from every loss so I ain’t never scared to take these L’s
Got a couple homies in the system can’t escape these cells
I'ma break these shells just to place them where my safety dwells
I lost my nigga Phil to overdose so I just pray he well

I’m praying for his fam, and I’m praying for my mans
Cause they tryna throw him 20 off that banger in his hands
I can make a way, I’m great today, I made it out the land
After facing tribulations I can say that I’m a man

Made some bands off the stance I’m never scared to take a chance
Too many teachers holding students back
And scared when they advance, take a glance
Yea I understand I’m damaged but I can
Be the standard see the plan is, we advancing what we handed

We could manage, battered bruised
It was days that we was bandaged, we was famished
Off the strength of the branding we expanding
Laying back in my hammock, eating salmon
I ain’t built for no relationships
You crazy chicks be fake and be demanding

2021 I’m running numbers biweekly
Cause I can still be on my job when I’m groggy and wild sleepy
She don’t even get no time if she awkward and not freaky
Every day I beat the odds ain’t no option if God keep me

I ain’t perfect, I been mixing my records ima find a way to work it
To be honest dawg I feel like I deserve it
I’m a learned man, I burned my hand from peeling back the surface
Of this hurting, and the purpose I ain’t on nobody’s timeline

It’s divine time, grind-time till I find mine
Shine mine till my mom is honored like LeBron’s mom
I ain’t hit my prime but I’m primetime, I rhyme rhyme
These niggas ask me what’s the deal, I’m climbing till I sign mine

Great or be erased, I always knew it was a fine line
Married to the game my days could be a rom-com
Just to make it put my pacing on a kanban
This the Curt Corner where they treat me like I’m Einstein

And I need my bro’s, I don’t need these hoes
And I know I’ll be the goat long as I keep my soul
Through the peeping hole frequent I been seeing goals
2020 finished nigga watch the way the sequel go
Y’all don’t even know
