The Pace

No longer toe the line, I know I gotta go for mine
Can't wait any longer, that's the way you know it's time
Could never dance with the devil, this feeling so divine
Worked all my life for what these niggas sold they soul to find
I'm talkin overtime, spent my years under pressure
Rappers in question and I feel I'm the one to test em
They hear the flow so I know that they studied the lecture
I want it all, I could never settle for something lesser
With minimum effort, watch me put it together
Been in every endeavor, and I weathered the rain
Had ties that were severed, hurt from all the pain
In the midst of the fire, messed around and caught my flame
Started from nothing but these days they know the name
I've seen niggas switch sides all for the fame
See I ain't trippin cuz I know the game
Now they gotta sit back and just watch me take control of things
It's a cold world but I'm heatin up
Got the game, passed it to my people, we don't really need to rush
Stay in your lane, what you need from us
They speakin tough, raised the stakes, they ain't know that I can see the bluff
You got skill, ain't go be enough
Not when a nigga put his soul in it, just roll with it
It's no limit on this road, I am so driven
Rep the 4 so you know I'm bout to go get it

This one them late nights stayin at my mama crib
Ain't have the whip yet my niggas pushed the Honda Civ
See we was tryna live and prolly just a lil overconfident
Thinking back to the problems that it got us in
I'm talkin J, Q, Leem, D, Rod and them
Back when playing dollar games, was for scraping pocket change
Just for us to go and spend on the dollar min
This could go without acknowledgement
But if I ain't say it man I'm proud of them, I hope they proud of me
Thought about my lil bro and how it's places that he gotta see,
Swear it felt like hitting the lottery the day I found out that he was bout to be
See, I was talkin with my dad sister
I was young but the game she gave me I'll forever remember
We talked about the world in which you were about to enter
How in order for you to win I would have to defend ya
Last convo we ever had, you was born weeks later
My dad took it worst and I could see in his behavior
Know he lost the world, but in you he gained greater
Forever thanks to the maker for making you so major
Fast forward to the present day
Mistakes I made were only there just for me to show a better way
And to be honest I'm just glad I got my head on straight
Had plans to elevate and make so much cash you couldn't estimate
And those plans are still on the slate
But now the goal is to educate
And now my mind is feeling hella great, see I'm in better shape
Not worried bout the time it takes just thinking how to find my pace

How to find my pace
Tryna make sure that my mama straight
