[Verse 1: MIKE]
I'm getting to the fact that I don't ever get to know
Pressure from my dad cus education was the goal
Patience ain't my bro
Patient to the sto' for the pace and something mo'
My hands been gettin' calloused
That's from breaking up the dough
Never with the other side, I hate to see you fold
I'm always on my brother time so we could get it both
Look me in the eyes 'fo we toast
That's how we dine, I be shining 'cross the coast
I couldn't lie, I cried a couple times
My mind be at home with my trauma
My heartbeat controlling my product
The star speaks, told me to "guard up"
Regards be swell, we uh pop up
I pray, my heartbeat sound like the opera
On the stage, when I speak about goals and my mama
With a place, all the cold in your conscience
Took grace 'cause the page taking tolls of my knowledge
To the grave with my soul and my pride man
For the days we scolded and outed
[Verse 2: Sixpress]
That's how we came through with the stealth
That's why we stay true to ourselves
I know time has been huge on my health
Won't resign because I'm working with the crew from the shelf
My assignment was to lose any self doubt
But never mind me, I'mma shoot for the goal
I'm a superous soul, in my room of the wealth house
Full of diamonds, pearls, rubies and gold
I'm assuming you know, that I move with the best out
Feeling grimy cus I'm used to the cold
I was too busy working on my music to help out
Won't abide to the rules of the code
