All jokes aside, I'm serious
Don't fuck with me when I'm in album mode
I used to be down bad and outta hope (Yeah)
And now I never settle for the status quo (Yeah)
Because around the time that I was 21

You know me and this money been locked at the hip
'Cause I been living well from the profits I get
And you what? (What?)

Stacking and counting up numerals (Numerals)
A real one since I was a juvenile (Yeah)
And will be till I'm at my funeral

Back when I used to be skating in middle school is the only time that I had a Plan B (Work, work)
I do everything I do for the family (Work)
Working till I see 'em all retire (Work)
Till we balling like Amar'e Stoudemire (Work)
After the storm, I'ma start a fire (Work)
The rest of 'em softer than cotton fibers
I been going hard in the paint
And I'll be on top with the greats
There's no doubt in my mind that I got what it takes
