[Verse 1]
Tell me what you know about this, the flow is so astounding
This for my peoples who done seen the kid and know he bout it
And of course some fools would doubt it, tryina tell me what my route is
I'm seeing early that they thirsty I know where the drought is
They ain't motivated tho, still they will complain they know it all but got no gall to give they all like they made it tho
That ain't in my mindframe, if it ain't convenient where you're sleeping tell me why stay
Living life's designed how you define things
Born to hustle, cut the cord, sent in the jungle
Some people read between the lines but I'm not as subtle
You rather brag on what you got, or what you lack, or what you bought
Here's a thought, what's your plot? How do you flip what's in that pot?
Oh you want some fame? Oh you want some dough?
But yet you still a lame? And everybody knows
You want a certain grade, ‘cause your supply is low
Oh you're running game, that's why you're moving slow
(Let's go)
[Hook]
Woke up and I'm oh so clean
Ain't no soap or cologne, I was born so mean, see
People like to show what they told
Just to make their lives whole, but it don't tempt me, see
I want the big rolls, gold ring
Cadillac door it's a small thing
I already know I got the glow
No one can take it from me ‘cause I shine on my own
[Verse 2]
They keep on talking, they keep on talking
Don't even really need a topic, they keep name dropping
Disgusting
They figured you don't know enough to call their bluff
Joking like you're broke as f** until you ask to show their stubs
No such luck
Don't be fooled, they got their own agenda
Soon as you are done with them, you're noticing their gender
See the red up in my veins, theirs is more magenta
Gotta keep the voice down, it aggravates placentas
And then some
So guess what, I'll devise a plan I need you to add some for good measure
Soon you'll understand you might not fathom, but no pressure
It's the laws of man, I will not backhand, you're not lesser
We all standing together
Don't answer to oppressors, no dances to your methods
Never ran from, I command ‘em, I don't plan em, so don't gesture
I brand ‘em with no effort, reprimanding all errors
Give you a chance, you'll shine too, in advance, my pleasure
[Hook]
Woke up and I'm oh so clean

Cadillac door it's a small thing
I already know I got the glow
No one can take it from me ‘cause I shine on my own
[Verse 3]
I used to tell folks how I'm progressing exactly
But actually it seems that I'm depressing them factually
But others seem ambivalent, they question it aptly
And others hating flatly, it's tacky and distracting
But of course, let me not digress
People in response ask me are you sure?
I reply why yes
Some others would ask me where's your source?
I supply the text, and supply the press
They use a pa**ively aggressive tone
Then a condescending “Oh”
Oh, all that pettiness I can't help
Instead of moping bout my problems, I put in work my damn self
Playing with the hands dealt
Moving all strategic within reason when it's planned well
Feelin good, you can't tell?
Music game is on a lean, I'm tryina give an epidural
Hot97 play and I don't even rep a borough
Sometimes when I move around, I think it's me against the world
God is always on my side and nobody can rep as thorough
