It turns out the journeys longer than advertised
Especially to a competitor never satisfied
They cheer for you till they can't feel for you
Pissing em off when they used to break the seal for you
Just to keep the ball rolling
I've invested way more than I'm holding
Past, future and this particular moment
They still ask WHY I told em I didn't notice
I'm focused on the volume of ulterior motives
The world on ya shoulders since 2008
I learned every position from the board to the stage
Watched you list a couple artists right above my name
Then watched em fumble key positions that they couldn't sustain
I see diminishing returns
From a landscape painted out to be a better version
Of the same shit we did & it still didn't work
Reengineered the wheel wit my boots in the dirt
Emerged from it all without a stain on my shirt
While on enemy turf
I gathered Intel before the guards came to search
Came back to the village & contemplated it's worth
Then gave it out for free & watched the jealousy emerge
I've given every room my theoretical shirt
Then shivered in the cold after giving you a verse
The type that can't promote they own death at a church
Got the most commentary bout superior work
I exist in the view between
Those milliseconds that can change what a moment means
They minimize every accomplishment for self esteem
If we ain't careful their perception is what you believe
This is... Number 30 pointing to his 4th ring finger
Champ demeanor in a sold out arena
Why aren't you famous yet ain't a question for longevity
I never had an interest in the brevity of it
I'm more concerned with the blessings that's bestowed
And them tray tables stowed
On a Boeing cross the globe
Detaching from personas we mistakenly behold
And narratives the editor can't possibly control

Real Thing

They told me they was live, I'm like ok ok
They told a 1000 lies and you still plead the case
My music prophesied & then I seen a change
They want that real thing, I'm like ok ok
I'm Don Draped in the finest garments
I've watched ya whole career be a stunt with the tightest harness
Searching for the meaning & I'm stiller than Ben & Arnold
I'm just here to flex with the blessings bestowed upon us
I been holding mirrors up to speakers you know I'm honest
I just got some whiskey that's distilled by the Boston Harbor
I said fuck the city when that 50 hit Jayland Walker
Rest in peace to all the black men that they makin targets
I just learned that Steve was the father of Lori Harvey
I just read some texts wantin money for pity partys
You say I ain't famous but I'm better than every artist
I just gotta ad for they tour when you started talking
How can I not be a goat yea
Look at who started & tell me just where did they go yea
Look at the numbers and look at the people & tell me bout what you just noticed
Whew, not too much on the other side
I wanna be fair cause that ain't a artist I call em a socialite
They wanna be seen more than they wanna sell
Dressed like a anime character but can't run or fight, that don't mix well
They told me they was live, I'm like ok ok
They told a 1000 lies and you still plead the case

I had a Nissan stick shift
Tryna make rap songs kick flip
Tell me I'm broke till I get fixed
Charlotte to DC to Richmond
I-95 I got grandkids
Pushing the clutch in some Stan Smiths
Payment is due probation
Back on the 3rd its a quicktrip
Im getting booked like I did a bid
Venues is crooks they ain't paying shit
I told my girl I might need a minute
She started fuckin all the people that I was in competition with
Aint that a bitch
Aint that a BIH
Aint that a reason you can still see the smile on me
Pull up in town on ya
I only chase dreams
Look at the miles on me
Backup the hard drive
Cant have these files on me
Im droppin tapes every month
Im sellin merch outta the trunk fuck wit me
Im tired I barely got sleep
They runnin behind
These ppl might leave
The tank is on E
Im headed to Queens
The home of my father I gotta succeed
I play my position I fight through the screens
Jersey is dirty theres mud on my cleats
Im staying humble but what does it mean
They don't respect if you can be seen

Don't Let Me Down

Aight nigga I'm back along for the ride
Just dont self destruct this time you're focused now
I can see it in your eyes
You survived those DUI's
And when that so and so tried to slander you with lies
You're somewhere between righteous and right up to the line of Nas but not exactly I hate Illmatic
I cant stand rappers that be rappin bout rappin
I am sick of rappers that be rappin bout trappin
Please dont get on and then say that you forgot me
I dont wanna read you joined the illuminati
I know not to believe what I'm seeing on the blogs
Just buy me a Ferrari when you start living large
I say this all now before you change & get into weird shit
Dump a black girl & get a clear bitch
And start dressing like Jaden Smith
And one by one start replacing all the folks that you came up with
Dont forget about the days on your block
Dont forget the time we saw a nigga get shot
Dont forget the girls from school that tried to play you
When they call now my dude you better slay em
Make sure you call when you do
So we can laugh like we did back then with the crew
Its cool where youre at but dont forget about your hometown
I believe in you so
Well look who it is, its the face from the mural
Got famous off of samples he's a bootleg hero
We aint seen ya round in a year full of Sundays
You told us you would come back and get us all one day
One day, we realized this only goes one way
We was at the bottom and we gave a boost to help ya
Bought every album when nobody would sell ya
I came to the show backstage gave em my name
The security guard just said Idk what to tell ya
I dont see your name on here and never heard of ya
Still bought tickets to the show and you murdered it
Not one phone call ocurred
Thats fucked up dog cause you gave me your word
That money really showed us all who you really are
Out here boo loving with reality stars
Ya hooks getting lazy and so are your bars
Where's the young cat I used to see out at the bar
That liked Stella but he didnt mind PBR
A couple friends died we aint hear from you at all
You got the nerve to come back in a brand new car
Like its all good like we would forget about it
Forget about it, click clack now get up out it
No we gon treat you like we aint never know ya
Cause I told you

World, World World Famous
You're now tuned into the...
You're now tuned into the greatest youve ever seen
Or better yet its the best version of me
This the feeling that you gotta make em wait for
I'm still Jersey like a team I play for
Ah man it feels so right
Wishing I was you so I could feel this twice
Telling all your friends you remember him right?
Every night is the best of your life
We gon hit the town in some custom fits
And they gon take pics and baby, that comes with it
Everybody wanna know what you're draped in
No names unless them kats paying
Or ya built a relationship
Everybody talking about our relationship
And it might seem like they always want more
Thats the game when your
Thats the game when your
World, World World Famous
World, World World Famous
You're a superstar, everybody knows who you are
You're a superstar, everybody knows who you are
You're now tuned into an energy thats worth a fortune
High endorphins more endorsements
Hit the city and revive the culture
Gotta appreciate the silk cotoure
Desgined an empire never built the before
Hit the stage and we filled the floor
I'm just tryna get another gold plaque I gave G the last one
Show me love like Lebron does Akron
Flow sharp as the edge of a javelin
Thrown by Steve Backley
Started off wit a Kickstarter now they fund me to keep rappin
Raekwon said I'm dope so I'm basically a member of the WU now you can't tell me jack shit
All for the passion to celebrate like a low seed beat a #1 team in March Madness
You was unknown now your
World, World World Famous
World, World World Famous
You're a superstar, everybody knows who you are
You're a superstar, everybody knows who you are

All I Wanna Do
02:53
|

All I wants $100,000 & a passport
Blow 10, invest 20 so it can stack more
If you believe you'll get everything you asked for
So let me call you back I'm walking in the airport
I want a big ring like I won the Super Bowl
I want a Rollie like Meek Mill in every song he on
I wanna sit front row at the fashion show
With _________ & Lanisha Nicole
I wanna celebrate not having to punch a clock
Throw a party on the block
Call it confetti Wap
It starts at 17:38
That military time will weed out all the fakes
I never cared much about the fame
I want the barbershops to talk about me with the greats
I wanna do an introspective interview with Sway
So when he ask me what I wanna get outta the game I'mma tell him now
All I wanna do
Right now, make my momma proud have them bitches screaming in the crowd
All I wanna do
Right now, make my momma proud have them hands up in the crowd
All I wanna do is be straight
And make sure everybody got enough to eat on their plate
Everywhere we go they pointing cause they know who we are
So tonight I'll join the band so I'm playing along
Lets hit all of the spots we dont normally go to
And we gon buy the bottle cause this bartender slow too
Shout out to the rappers that act like they dont know you
Until you start popping and ya section is a photo booth
These random chicks at the bar saying so and so is hard
I kindly agree so I dont come off rude
But to me you sound like all of the shit that I've heard
So I'd rather play theirs if I really had to choose
All I wanna do is show love
Dont be surprised if we come in with some thugs
I dont consider myself none of the above
Blind or stupid
We will fuck up these rugs, but trust me daddy
Right now, make these honies yell owww, stand on a couch
All I wanna do
Right now, make these honies proud, make em pull they titties out

Shot Clock
03:09
|
|||
I been workin like its 3 seconds left on the shot clock
Legacy dont care if you forgot to grab the tripod
You tryna be seen and I'm tryna see how high I can levitate
30 grand comin Imma turn it to 100k
Time Change Generator lookin like its picture day
Picture me picturing you when I need anything
Whats your record when you had to lead the team?
And the answer to the question tells you why I had to leave
Theres a... chemistry flaw in most of the halls
That lead to offices of ppl who ain't focused at all
Im a Libra so I'm balanced and confused by your balance sheet
Seeing shares move like Twitter to IG
But if assets are moved when nobody's around
Then they land in your account
Tell me does it make sound?
I see... crooks in castles
hiding from the people waving... sticks and axes
They gon whoop yo head boy
And I'm just watching like a hawk on its prey
150 yards away
Check the wind let it spray boy
Disassemble put equipment in its case
All heroes dont wear capes and I been workin like its 3 seconds left on the shot clock
Pay attention how they move when its nothing to accrue
All the methods that they use/Came from writers in a room
David Byrne's on ya tube
Speak in tongues Tina Weymouth
It used to be believe half of what you see none of what you hear
Now its none of what you see none of what you hear
None of what you eat
You should live in fear
Once they level up make another tier
Its always question everything & never get Sway the answers
Hello semantics
Goodbye discernment
Goodbye to sneakers you can purchase
Without 4 phones a laptop & great service
Our limited experience with limited edition
Kinda limits my attention tryna give a fuck
So I... stepback like Tatum on the wing
Like his number on the team i cant worry bout a thing
Cause the pressure and survival instincts they gon show ya
Whos Christian Wood
And whos Kevin Porter when its 3 seconds left on the shot clock

Wish You Well Remix
02:46
|
|||
I wish you well even if it ain't the same for me
And I vowed to wound a couple when they came for me
Irish goodbyes when the situation ain't for me
Cause we wasn't really friends as they claimed
Fool me like a jester
Cruel intentions behind a Sarah Michelle Gellar
I can't be the villain & a bank teller
Been carrying grown men since 2011
I wondered if their wives would ever address it
Before you tie your tie she ruin your breakfast
To keep from getting screwed we're over protective
To see the good in people it turned to a fetish
Cause everything you showed was never a question
And loyalty becoming the deadliest weapon
You shot me doooowwwn
But another magazine appeared on my dresser
I never ran when my failures hit the front page
Last year I was grossly underpaid
Stuck inside the guilded age like I'm Marian Brook
The same roads that a Harriet took
Got me known as one of the hardest in the world but I still want more
We was out in Kolonaki on the top floor
If you ain't never had sex in Greece before
Leave ya shoes with Authur at the front door
The fans love it when I talk like this
The Director kinda chuckle when I talk like this
Cause I know your clientele & the money you get let's keep it nice
Everything you did this year I did it twice
And everybody eats wit me until I
Cease to be/We runnin up the numbers till they cease & desist
The Joe Freshgoods of the mic
The Sky Diggins Smith wit the right
A lunar eclipse when I write
I just saw a million dollars come in on the board packet
I'm so close there's a draft Imma need a jacket
And I come from some drunks & a couple addicts
From small towns where it's one chapel
Now I'm bout to take the State Bike to France & ride to a remote cabin
The Riviera looks better than imagined
You still worried bout a IG caption..... J'ai fini ça
