Intro
Please watch what you say to me
Read between the lines
A lot of things ain't what they seem to be
I don't want no lies
Because the truth's not what is hurting me
Put 2 and 2 together
Look we call that common courtesy
Call it common sense
But guess you don't accept that currency
This not where I'm supposed to be
If you not willing to go the distance
Don't come close to me
They say you really can only see far as the eye can see
But I see way more than just the moon and the stars above me
Trying to take my momma shopping in a wraith
Have her in a mansion, that's secure and safe
And couple 100 grand a couple Ms in the safe
She taught me to economize
And prepare for rainy days
But I'm still on that grind
Can't come outside to play
If you in search of a sign
I'm on the grind right now today
And I don't want your apology
If you don't mean what you say
Trust goes a long way
I came from a place people got merked in broad day
Still had to go to school, let God lead the way
For sure you know I prey
On everything that's harmful I get wild for
They dealt with their consequences
But tell me it was uncalled for
Threaten me or anybody I care about
It's called for
No I'm not comfortable where I'm at
I want a lot more
Living life too fast, I gotta chill but want a lot more
I'm the son of a hustler
So it's kinda hard not to want more
Patience is a virtue, but sometimes it can hurt you
But that depends on the context
Just maintain a close circle
Lost me a couple contacts, all cause of my tolerance
Not really my fault, got sick and tired of their nonsense
I'm trying to be known as the greatest with my last name
Might make that slogan, I might put that on a campaign
This is self expression
And sometimes can make you feel pain
Like we're related
But it's cause we been through the same thing
I like the sunshine, but I've seen it rain too
So I know, what the good and bad can do
Stay true to myself and stuck to my roots
Not the same little boy that you knew
Cause I grew
A caterpillar to a butterfly, spread my wings
You can see me if you wanna try
I sting like a bee, shit I'm feeling like the greatest
Muhammad Ali
I can tell you what's the latest
I've been working on me
Working on attaining all the visions I see
Wanna feel free set sail at sea
Shit could get deep, I'm talking way below sea level
If you ain't had to grow up way too soon
You not on my level
I don't want a settlement, my nigga I cannot settle
I'm way too ambitious, things I think about
You can't handle
I poured out my heart and then told me
"It's too much to handle"
Look here I'm not average, I've been gifted
Feeling paranormal, I do the abnormal
Do the dash on these niggas going full throttle
Please be careful how you speak when you rebuttal
Very mindful of approaching cause I'm too subtle
Wanna be somewhere secluded with a lake house retirement
That's a goal I'm trying to reach
If I fail and then I try again
I could tell you bout stories
Bout places you ain't ever been
Whip wrapped army green
Cause I be moving militant
Tell me how I command authority when I don't say much
They look for our trouble we respond
And then they blame us
I can't let nobody ever dare to try and shame us
Like how that saying go? Yeah they hate us cause they anus
Sha sha sha shame
I'm coming in peace
So no weapon formed can prosper
Plus I move with caution
Don't matter if you a shocker
Protecting my energy, please don't fuck up my chakra
Holla at you later, can't holla at your boy
Cause I'm busy stacking this paper
I want checks to be the only cuts from paper
We notice lazy people point em out and em lazers
Then rearrange the space, self titled renovators
From the ground going up without using elevators
I'm trying to build a foundation first
Make good use of my time
Over here we call that clock work
I'm counting every step
It don't matter who cross that line first
Wanna see my other side?
You gotta cross that line first
Know a couple people who see me
But they act blind first
To be outta mind
Know you gotta be outta sight first
We can't ever meet if you not making my accounts work
I'm checking my to do list
And it's a lot to account for
Look I really took note
When momma said that she like jaguars
Heart of a lion the difference ain't really far apart
But you can never truly know if you don't ever start
Read between the lines
A lot of things ain't what they seem to be
I don't want no lies
Because the truth's not what is hurting me
Put 2 and 2 together
Look we call that common courtesy
