On a mission to get it and
Bring it to fruition
These youngin's trippin'
They don't know who gets the recognition
They be pretending like its make believe (make believe)
Got them concealing both they faces
With photoshop and Maybeline
Laid up, feet up, eating from they silver spoon
While we chillin eating noodles in the living room
Running on fumes on a grind tryna reach a dream
Tryna get ahead so the dream is out chasing me
Go getter mentality
Flow up out the galaxy
Liu Kang the beat
Go and check the fatalities
Crawled before I took steps
It happened kind of gradually
Chopped it up and cooled it off
Before ingesting casually
Daddy said be patient ain't
Nothing worth it is easy
Overnighting's cool
Until u peak before your season
This chess it isnt checkers
You a queen n not a pawn
Go ahead n make ya move
Do what you do (uh!)

This ain't a game but a New Testament
Wrote up my proposal
And it's time to make an estimate
Throw all ya investments in
This different kind of specimen
Shaking up the scale, make you
Recount all your Measurements
Moving in position
Pay attention
Watch me work it out
I just hope you listening with two ears
Not an opened mouth
Been a long road taking cues on
where I'm going now
And even if they black ball
I ain't never bowing down
Alright, now
Battle scared veteran
Skin covered like melanin

Who you think you better than
Better go and get your medicine
Cuz yo I'm bout as sick
(Bout as sick as my intestines been)
But that don't stop no show
I hope you know
And listen loud n clear
Even in the distance
I'm way closer than what I appear
Look up to the heavens
Get a glimpse of where it's coming from
It's only the beginning
These the makings of a champion

Can't say I lack the heart
When it's beating on these bars
Make mosaics from these scars
I'm saying we beating odds
Destined like apocalypse
Winters and it's too cold
We out to raise the threshold
While you focused on your dress code
That's too much on my mental
I ain't even bout to stress
Got these button on my heart
That these youngins wanna press
Said it, mean I meant it
It's mine and imma defend it
Took a break to handle mine
And I promise it's been a sec
Came back like resurrect
2 times I never left
What you expect?
When the highest of highest is your connect?
See I Learned a while ago that I was
Here for something greater
And if you ain't liking what i dish
You can go and find the waiter
Cuz shorty serve her own
You can best believe I does it
And I get it from my abba
I won't put nothing above it
Best believe it's heaven sent
And the Benevolence is twofold
Enough to put this thang in a chokehold
