The Gifted (feat. Ponce De'leioun)

C-Sick

New year same me but my life is changing
Fans I am gaining while friendships are fading
Tongue is my brush observe what I'm painting
Was in a dark place before got overtaken
Almost sold my soul one and only satan
Now I'm in the fast lane going triple digits
This lavish lifestyle I'm about to live it
Chosen one since birth Wale I am the gifted

Dark times creating lyrics super bright just know
This year ima shine I'll be your light
Was a Danny Hand tiger now I'm earning my stripes
I've lived a white life yeah you heard me right
But lately been in touch with my heritage
Remember I'm North and Central American
Ponce and I told you bout changes, this ain't a game
But if it was bowling the fakes I ain't sparing them
Only bout strikes I keep it hundred times three
Marathon man so don't run shit by me
I'm a slave to music but you can never buy me (Wooh)
Scared of my success you went into hiding
Not gonna look for you only look beyond you
Talk is cheap and I got some coupons for you
Not sorry that I'm constantly dropping bombs on you
Used to lean on you thanks to the codeine
Now you're salty as fuck cuz I stopped the sugar coating
Bit off more than you can chew sucks to be choking
And soon for your Instagram captions my songs you'll be quoting
Mad now huh? Don't be just accept it
Exactly what I did with my depression
Been doing a lot of reflecting now my time gonna reinvest it
With people who care bout me who've been present
Best gift of life won't take them for granted
Crazy to think how I started out empty-handed
God gave me lemons I made limoncello
Know I'm a king don't need Sacramento
I'm the real deal you're just a demo
And I swear my rhymes are fresh as fuck you'd think I'm spitting mentos
And finally if you didn't know before now you really know that I Can't Pretend (Woah)

New year same me but my life is changing
Fans I am gaining while friendships are fading
Tongue is my brush observe what I'm painting
Was in a dark place before got overtaken
Almost sold my soul one and only satan
Now I'm in the fast lane going triple digits
This lavish lifestyle I'm about to live it
Chosen one since birth Wale I am the gifted

Check it I'm living lavish
Started in the basement with a little bit of cabbage
Made my way up to the attic
Memories are havoc I used to be a savage
You ain't need no social media to check on my status
Now I cause static
This music is a drug they be fiendin for a hit and
So I line em up like traffic
Too many niggas hide behind computers like catfish
But me I'm actually an established artist who goes the hardest
Most likely I go the farthest these other rappers are garbage
Careers are starting to tarnish and honestly niggas fond of me
I feel it via energy they swear they not into me until we turn into enemies
I'm fly as fuck like I got wings on the end of me
Presidential status like I'm John F Kennedy
Riding through the city with the top off
Waiting for something simple to pop off
I don't need a stopwatch this is my time my year
I grind no fears got drive no gears
Sitting front row when I started in the rear
I deserve everything that I own I swear

Yo Ponce couldn't agree more an amazing feeling
Getting what you earn when you started poor
Now we living lavish getting our bottles poured
Girls running they mouths but that ain't why they jaws sore
Now we soaring to new heights only on the rise
We two underrated rappers with heroin-laced coke rhymes
We like scotch only get better with time
Verbal abuse in the first degree but we won't get pinned for the crime
My life is mine taking it back from some of you
Had enough of you now I'm in front of you
I'll be above you so you can understand me
Gonna be the man you said I can't be
