Promise

Let's get right into this
Yeah, Imma just
Jump on the beat like it's a trampoline
With a hand tied behind my back
Watch me kill the game
Single-handedly
When I rap I lose all my sanity
I'm a threat so if you cross me
The costly price to pay's a
Handsome fee
So just make sure you keep saving up
The game got all these levels
I advance and I take it up
But haters see me growing
So they tryna plant doubt
But it don't work cuz I'm steps ahead
Yeah I keep it planned out
You can throw your hands up
I ain't takin hand outs
Bring the storm, but even in the rain
Imma stand out
Said when things got tough
I stayed, I never ran out
I kept cooking cuz I knew
It'd eventually pan out

And now I got, Shef
Serving me instrumentals
I guess we both saw someone
With talent and sick potential
So I spit on these tracks
I'm disrespectful
And I murder the rest
If you wondering why I'm nice
It's cuz I learned from the best
And now I'm
Oh so obsessive
The game is mine, I'm possessive
I'm raw with it
Cuz I fuck with the music
No contraceptives
You really don't need detectives
The best is me, case is closed
It really ain't a discussion
Not even debatable
It's undisputed
I state my point like Shannon, I'm sharp
I win in life, if there's a play
Then people ran for my part
A spoiled kid, presence
Is what I command from the start
It's clearly obvious
They gave me the track
So I had to body this

The problem is
I shouldn't be hittin' them
With the confidence
Don't follow the formula
I don't fit the hypothesis
A wealthy black kid with a scholarship
Who still got the skills with the pen
And the dominance
That's preposterous
Lemme stop
I'm too much in my bag
If I let it all out
You ain't gonna want nothing with that
That much is a fact
I'm someone
That you put all your hope in
Play this out and they'll love it more
Than those McDonalds slogans

Year ago ran to the bridge at the gate
And wrote something down
It said that I'll change the world
Once I finished, I screamed it loud
People doubt me
I don't mind
Because my mind
Is so uncommon
I wrote it down as a promise
Crossed my heart like I'm Wakandan
Now it's sealed until I die
Ain't nothing gon take it back
I noticed the writing faded
But memory's still in tact
And it'll always be
Said that's the truth, I swear
It means so much to me
Because I choose to care
I'm too aware of the power that's in my hands
I do the impossible because I believe that I can
So I stand for this
And nothing can make me fall down
Don't just wanna piece of the pie
I'm takin it all now
Yeah
