Foundation
Aye when you building something
You gotta start at the bottom
You are listening to the sound of a machine
Trevis T
Built this
Brick by brick but y'all aint care so
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
Raised in that Red Clay
In the streets I use to play
Til I seen it wasn't no game
My dawg lucky lost his brain
For 2 pounds of Mary Jane
By some one he use to hang wit and get blazed wit
And that was my awakening
It shook up my foundation
And It made me think twice bout decisions I was making
When people I use to hang wit see me now it's like we strangers
Made some changes just like pac
I hope they ain't mad at me
Either way a nigga happy
If you ain't that mean you hating
Patience and procrastination ain't the same thang
First I had to build it, then they came
Every brick laid was purposely placed
The trail was blazed
The foundation laid then the roof was raised
It ain't no ceilings in this bitch
It ain't no limits to this shit
And all I know for sure Afeni Shakur said we will win
And I been on it ever since they refused me
The head corner stone better get use to it, aye
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
Kasino Fluorescein
Even when my dreams turn to nightmares
I'm right there
No fear
Standing in my nike airs
Quite clear
All I got is me
life don't fight fair
Ideas different and unique
Why am I rare
I share bars from the heart
Off the sleeve I wear
Top tier unheard legend
But I won't stop here
Been back stabbed by many
But took the stairs tho
Built this brick by brick
But y'all ain't care so
I went through the brunt of the pain
Destroying and building my name
We are not one in the same
I've danced with all of my fears in the rain
You sane Sorry to inform you I'm not
Gave all but my soul to get to the top
I am one of the best unheard
The nerve of someone saying I'm not
I'm saying I'm not the one to be sold
Own and control the stories I've told
Which caused me to travel the loneliness road
Still didn't break still didn't fold
My foundation built off blood sweat and tears
Still the same me sorry ain't no gimmicks here
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
I fell in love with the Melodies
Music notes were surrounding me
You can't make it with music
Plenty people was clowning me
You should stop you should quit
I'm like nawh this is it
You can't see what I'm building
But best believe it's legit
Started with Lil Buddy
Then learned a language or two
Had to be on top of my business
100 jobs how I do
Had to come right back with a vengeance
I'm certified and I'm true
I never gave up my hustle
Well how bout you
I put it all on the line
Took that Red eye flight
Had to lay my foundation
Now elevation is right
From making beats in the basement
To taking passport flights
It was all in my mind
Execution precise
When you fall you get up
Momma said trust yo gut
Me and Pops had a talk
I told him watch me get up
Super Genius my mind
So ahead of my time
I went back to the future
To remember the grind
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
Had to lay my foundation
Lay lay lay my foundation
Every inch of the grind
Kept it real with no faking
Motivated meditation
Music making my life
Hustle hustle with patience
First I lay my foundation
