Verse 1:
Ok, We bout to take flight
They told me play my cards right
Running through the city
With the squad dawg I'm feeling nice
Litty again, a different flow
They say it's too tight
Finna be a movie
Like Universal, New Life
Got up off the couch
Started working hard for the better
Whole squad full of bosses
You would think we Roc-A-Fella
I can really see the envy
I can see them folks is jealous
Got me feeling like a king
I ain't talkin Mrs. Coretta
Hating on the next man
Bro you know that ain't poppin
Man I'm outchea tryna win
They rather beef like Red Robin
And they asking over & over
"Jay when are you dropping ?"
I ain't slowing down for nothing
What's the point of just stoppin ?
How they jacking from folks
And say they start they own wave
I ain't tryna do business
If we ain't on the same page
This was destined to happen
Back when they laughed in my face
See I'm T'd up with the squad
So please give some space
Pre Hook:
Man they really thought that I would just lose, aye
Came in shining & im playing by my rules, aye
Pay it no mind, ion care what them fools say
They got me started, man today gone be they doomsday
Cause they know that I've been self made, yeah
Self Made, since way way way back
Cause they know that I've been self Made, yeah
Self Made, since way way way back
Hook:
Self Made since way way way back
Self Made since way way way back
Self Made since way way way back
Self Made & you know that's a big fact
Verse 2:
If I ain't working, I be clowning
Like I'm Ronald McDonald
And I rather take the lead
No no, I cannot follow
Getting live with the homies
Like we just hit the lotto
And these folks talking mean
Must be drunk off of a bottle
But they can never slow me down
Going hard in the paint
Like name was Waka Flocka
Cause I'm steady bringing Flame
Boss up, new level
You know that will never change
If it's business, we can chop it up
Like we at PF Chang's
Matter fact
They see that I'm coming strong in the game
Foolish talk
Man that's something I can never entertain
Y'all be posting on the Gram
Just be flexing for the fame
But I just do me
So just stay in yo lane
They really tried to stop me
Man they tried to hit the kill switch
Your favorite rapper acting
Like he Cube or he Will Smith
0 to 1000
They gone make me do it, real quick
Spazzing on these records
That's something you gotta deal with
Brand new year
Got me thinking this my time bro
Ain't talking Jay
But I feel like I'm in my Prime yo
2 up & 2 down
Know I'm repping 75 though
A GOAT in the making
I mean what I gotta lie for
Pre Hook:
Man they really thought that I would just lose, aye
Came in shining & im playing by my rules, aye
Pay it no mind, ion care what them fools say
They got me started, man today gone be they doomsday
Cause they know that I've been self made, yeah
Self Made, since way way way back
Cause they know that I've been self Made, yeah
Self Made, since way way way back
Hook:

Self Made since way way way back
Self Made & you know that's a big fact
