Jersey

Leaves rustling, trees swaying, I ain't got no worries
Greatness takes time, baby, I ain't got no hurries
All the greats are in the game, I'm still working for my jersey
And when they put me in, I swear to God, I'm dropping 30

My heart's so sturdy, whip clean, room dirty
The hardest part of writing, discovering where the hurt be
Whoever said sticks and stones couldn't hurt me
You throw a stick at me and you'll be laying where the dirt be

Lately it's been kinda calm
Usually my thoughts sound like atomic bombs
My latest priority is retiring my moms
I'm trying to go and grab the world and put it in her palms

Give her everything
Just cause she deserve it
For the things she put up with when I was still maturing
When my main thing was chasing skirts and driving whips swervin'
When I did so little helping, but still did so much hurting

Had to do a lot of growing up
Things ain't changed until I changed, I learned a lot from glowing up
Poverty had made me sick, I learned a lot from throwing up
I didn't shine until I tried, I learned so much from showing up

A know it all, but now I know I never really know enough
You got dreams, then chase them, you ain't got plans then make them
You can't get what you deserve if your mind stay complacent
And the beauty of a dream is you won't know till you begin

So don't you count yourself out until you clock yourself in
Leaves rustling, trees swaying, I ain't got no worries
Greatness takes time, baby, I ain't got no hurries
All the greats are in the game, I'm still working for my jersey

And when they put me in, I swear to God I'm dropping 30
My heart's so sturdy, whip clean, room dirty
The hardest part of writing, discovering where the hurt be
Whoever said sticks and stones couldn't hurt me

You throw a stick at me and you'll be laying where the dirt he
I believe what I see, just don't believe what I heard
Everybody speak on their actions, only few do their verbs
Ain't no time to be wasting time, I leave that shit for the birds

Keep my eyes on the prize, I can't be hustling in reverse
I got a jersey on my wish list, uh, but I ain't wishin'
Ever since these student loan bills came, I've been relentless
Someone said rap's a game and you exactly what they missing

If they throw a pitch my way, I'm hitting Homers like the Simpsons
Real shit, got no choice but kill shit
I'm yelling at the kitchen, cause I wanna see my mills quick
I know patience a virtue, but sometimes a kid be ignorant

Besides waiting get hard when them hunger pains hitting
Been hungry for my opportunity to show these people I'm exactly who I always knew I'd be
The coldest nigga, illest flows that's giving rappers eulogies
They not it like me
The coldest nigga in my city if they temp check me
Leaves rustling, trees swaying, I ain't got no worries
Greatness takes time, baby, I ain't got no hurries
All the greats are in the game, I'm still working for my jersey

And when they put me in, I swear to God I'm dropping 30
My heart so sturdy, whip clean, room dirty
The hardest part of writing, discovering where the hurt be
Whoever said sticks and stones couldn't hurt me

You throw a stick at me and you'll be laying where the dirt be
