The Taking Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Ayy, sheesh
Just landed back in the Bay a couple hours ago
It feels good to be home
Yeah

[Chorus]
It's crazy, they look at the Gram
And they've seen what I've done and they think that I made it (They think that I made it)
When I go back to The Town
They look up to to me, they want a pic like I'm famous (They do)
I feel the pressure, I ain't got no option
I know that I'm destined for greatness (Jwalt)
I'm done being patient, I mean what I'm saying
I swear that it's mines for the taking (Ayy)
It's crazy, they look at the Gram
And they've seen what I'vе done and they think that I made it (Thеy think that I made it)
When I go back to The Town
They look up to to me, they want a pic like I'm famous (They do)
I feel the pressure, I ain't got no option
I know that I'm destined for greatness (Jwalt)
I'm done being patient, I mean what I'm saying
I swear that it's mines for the taking (Ayy)

[Verse 1]
I feel like Kobe when he was rookie
I got a lot of people watching me
My mama proud of me, some people doubted me
Ain't nobody ever stopping me
Copy me, my people rock with me
I stack my cheddar and broccoli, properly
Only make quality, honestly, feel like a prodigy
Greatest all time, I could be that shit possibly, woah
I said that it is it was it is, man, I got a plan to be rich
I walk in, they seeing the drip
When I'm on, still rock a white tee with the fit, goddamn
She like, "Jwalt don't miss" (No ma'am)
That boy just stay with hits (Oh man)
Go dumb like the Bay in '06
No son of a pimp, I just walk with a limp (You know)

[Chorus]
It's crazy, they look at the Gram
And they've seen what I've done and they think that I made it (They think that I made it)
When I go back to The Town
They look up to to me, they want a pic like I'm famous (They do)
I feel the pressure, I ain't got no option
I know that I'm destined for greatness (Jwalt)
I'm done being patient, I mean what I'm saying
I swear that it's mines for the taking (Ayy)
It's crazy, they look at the Gram
And they've seen what I've done and they think that I made it (They think that I made it)
When I go back to The Town
They look up to to me, they want a pic like I'm famous (They do)
I feel the pressure, I ain't got no option
I know that I'm destined for greatness (Jwalt)
I'm done being patient, I mean what I'm saying
I swear that it's mines for the taking (Ayy)

[Verse 2]
Ain't made it yet, but I like where I'm going
Said I'm up next, I told her I know it
She a mixed thing, she black and Samoan
I've seen what I want, so baby, I'm focused
Trapped in the stu', go back in the morning
Tryna build wealth for the fam, it's growing
Pops taught me live in the moment
And notice how everything's coming is chosen
You know, had to get it, on a mission
Taking off man I feel it, yeah (Ayy)
One goal, stay persistent
Working hard, I see the vision (Ayy)
Nah, it don't stop right there
Stepped in the game with a plan and I made it appear
They say the future is clear
Opened for Nas at the Oracle, damn, what a year
A global pandemic, I opened for legends
I'm counting my blessings, I'm thankful I'm here
I cherish the present 'cause there ain't no telling
So I'm living life, I ain't living in fear
Ain't no more stressing, I know that I'm destined
My time, yeah, it's coming, I feel it, it's near
Steady finessing, I don't call it flexing
This just the beginning, now here's my premier

[Chorus]
It's crazy, they look at the Gram
And they've seen what I've done and they think that I made it (They think that I made it)
When I go back to The Town
They look up to to me, they want a pic like I'm famous (They do)
I feel the pressure, I ain't got no option
I know that I'm destined for greatness (Jwalt)
I'm done being patient, I mean what I'm saying
I swear that it's mines for the taking (Ayy)
It's crazy, they look at the Gram
And they've seen what I've done and they think that I made it (They think that I made it)
When I go back to The Town
They look up to to me, they want a pic like I'm famous (They do)
I feel the pressure, I ain't got no option
I know that I'm destined for greatness (Jwalt)
I'm done being patient, I mean what I'm saying
I swear that it's mines for the taking (Ayy)
