lyrics
[Verse I]
I been thinking a lot, I’ve been patiently waiting /
Plotting and scheming in thought, not in negative ways but /
Don’t overread or I’ll stop, nah I’m just playing /
I don’t think anything could stop me from my vision, listen /
These sentences get me lifted with I’m fighting to live in /
The miniscule provisions that life’s attemting to give and /
I want more, I’m Metro Boomin’ with gifts on Christmas /
Thirsty for greatness but Flint, Michigan liquids are all that /
Life seems to hand out, I’ll turn into Baraka, try and /
Stop a Tarkatan by all means, give us a hand now /
Bet that ulterior motive not gonna pan out /
The way you were expecting, check the method whenever perspective /
Shifts, can’t wait until I’m able to stand out /
That’s the plan now, but I’m behind this desk /
Catch me outside of this business, I’m there 40 a week /
It’s no wonder people keep on asking me all kinds of silly / questions, like…
[Hook]
Why you working here? Your success is /
Destined, don’t tell me that you’re scared /
(I don’t even know no more, know no more /
Know no more, no no, I don’t even know) /
You might not get a chance again, are you prepared? /
Know you came this far, ain’t no way you stopping here /
(I don’t even know no more, know no more /
Know no more, no no, I don’t even know) /
[Verse II]
Ok I’m fine then, back on my grind like the /
Clipse when I was nine, ten, eleven, twelve, but yeah I’m /
Working overtime and, I realized that I’m /
Losing time over tryna grind for my fam, listen /
I’m too committed to my vision, you can’t catch me slippin /
Or lane switchin’ on commitments like I’m Lane Kiffin /
Nah my brain’s different, so even as my face /
glisten s with emotions I’m working through all the tension, feel it? /
I got a lot on the line, let me rephrase, see I… /
I put it all on the line to be great, yet I /
Sit and contemplate the next moves I’m tryna make /
Missing chance after Chance like Vic Mensa missing his friend /
There’s a lot going on today, no need to over-/
Explain or plain exaggerate… I would write a /
Third verse to this to truly reinforce the mission /
But I’m 15 minutes late coming back off my work break, sorry /
[Hook]
