Makeshift Purpose
CG
Was working OT
Way before I ever thought to flex
Was a pawn taking steps
Unaware that this was chess
This ain't Codeine
Still I was leaning with a pen over papers
Couldn't say how I was feeling
Let the ink sink and do the rest
I been sifting through this mess
Looking for that needle in the hay but I've been stressed
Something between my ears just been telling me to rest
How am I supposed to rest when I'm not working like the rest
You ain't a king vs a pawn
You're a king against an ace
Had to learn from experience
I'm thankful for mistakes
Knew my life would take a turn
When everybody called me Chase
And I ain't have a lane to change
Because there was no one in my race
Swear I was three
I started dancing
I could still picture that stage
Ballet to bachata
Fell in love that's why I stayed
This ain't blood inside my veins
On a road that you can't pave
Fell in love with this shit
Before I recognized the back of my hand
Most of these rappers in the back of me
Back of my head
They only see the other half of me
Said I be working OT
Because this work gonna work
Forget my follows and my name
Just hear my voice and feel my pain
Could see my progress
I really put in work
Said I'm different
We don't always be the same
This work shit working
I don't care if they screaming my name
Had a makeshift purpose
I made it happen and I put that on me
Shifting and molding
My only motive
Had the blueprint open
Had the blueprint open
This work shit working
I don't care if they screaming my name
Had a makeshift purpose
I made it happen and I put that on me
Shifting and molding
My only motive
Had the blueprint open
Had the blueprint open
Yea yea yea yea
Was working OT
Way before I ever thought to flex
Was a pawn taking steps
Unaware that this was chess
This ain't Codeine
Still I was leaning with a pen over papers
Couldn't say how I was feeling
Let the ink sink and do the rest
I been sifting through this mess
Looking for that needle in the hay but I've been stressed
Something between my ears just been telling me to rest
How am I supposed to rest when I'm not working like the rest
You ain't a king vs a pawn
You're a king against an ace
Had to learn from experience
I'm thankful for mistakes
Knew my life would take a turn
When everybody called me Chase
And I ain't have a lane to change
Because there was no one in my race
Swear I was three

Fell in love that's why I stayed
This ain't blood inside my veins
On a road that you can't pave

Had the blueprint open
This work shit working
I don't care if they screaming my name

I made it happen and I put that on me
Shifting and molding
My only motive
Had the blueprint open
Had the blueprint open
Yea yea yea yea
