Y'all ain't hearin' what I'm sayin' Grab your lighter, you might need to flick it
It's ya boy, the champ, man
Uh, sometimes I sit in silence thinkin' of another way
Sometimes I face a whole joint just to ease the pain
I'm daydreamin' how I touch these souls on this stage
Still self-conscious, but I'm clearly on a new wave
I know my time is now, even though some think it's late
Burnin' that herb, wind and fire, that's soul food on your plate
In case it's hard to chew, wash it down with champagne
Just another sample, the entree's on the way
My vision has been more so like a premonition
I'm gifted, my year, I said it, no prediction, I was ready
Suckers as soft as jelly, sometimes I come off as petty
Admit it, the hustle's heavy, burnin' OG from Cali
Stuntin' just like my daddy, but better, that's how you raise me
Sometimes my girl can't stand me, but know that she's still my baby
Prayin' that God save me, cause Luci is quite deceivin
Promise you all I mean it, all gas, no brakes are needed, uh
Oftentimes I sit and meditate, ventilate, music for your mind
Let me demonstrate how I'm gon' reciprocate
With my words, I illustrate my life stories
Current state for you, I never fabricate
Hope you hearin' what I say
What I say
What I say
Hope you hearin' what I say
What I say
What I say
Hope you hearin' what I say
Hope you hearin' what I say
I'm takin' that straight to the bank
Most be shape-shifting, even I can't tell who's real or fake
But catch this fade, cause I don't see you in my way
While I'm paving my own lane, y'all tryna save face
With this bar, I set the pace
Yeah, I'm so far out of space
If you get a little close to me, you might have to endure the rain
Sometimes I feel ashamed for all the games that I played
Had I got my act together, I'd be movin' state to state
Enough of the hard times, I'm lookin' up
I've got my peace of mind, far from good luck
I'm blessed beyond measure, the times are lookin' up
I've struggled for too long, you see I've had enough
To the top, I'm aimin' for no holds bar, my flow is dope
Not the kind you put up your nose, I dish it out like I'm on parole
I'm the champ and everybody know, this round four and I'm throwin' bow's
So back, back, I'm puttin' on a show, not televised but I'm on a roll
Some do it for the money, others for the fame
You see I do it cause it's one of many other ways
Rainy days, but this brother still gettin' paid
Not throwin' shade, but if the shoe fits, what can I say
What can I say
What can I say
What can I say
If the shoe fits, what can I say
What can I say? Today's gon' be a lovely day
Got my mind on the prize, ain't nothin' standin' in my way
Come too far to give up, now the rabbit in this turtle race
Except this time I came to win, addin' fuel to this race
If by chance I die alone, God forbid, cause times are changin
Tell my family that I love em' and the times we shared amazing
Lookin' at the past, I do it all again
Tryin' to right all my wrongs is all I seem to think about lately
As the world turns, I'm plottin' on a bigger mission
The more I learn, I apply it to everyday livin
I'm ahead of the curve, I'm driftin' into my position
I stand by my word, I hope you payin' close attention
The way I'm feelin', there's no tellin' where I'm goin' now
I got the mind and the muscle, I ain't backin' down
And to you clowns sneak dissin', I adjust my crown
The time is tickin', pray you know enough to get around
When times are rough, I tip my head up to the sky
Knowin' I've got room to grow, watch me pimp a butterfly
Steady workin' on my craft with the overtime
Tryin' to keep my soul pure, my rhymes will never tell a lie
My rhymes will never tell a lie
Yeah, they'll never tell a lie
My rhymes will never tell a lie
It's ya boy the champ, man
