[Intro]
G#m D#m
Yeah
C#m G#m
Make money off of bein' myself
G#m D#m C#m
Get a glimpse of my potential when I believe in myself
D#m
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse]
G#m
It's gettin' harder to tell the difference between reality and dreams
D#m
The lines keep blurrin' like I'm drivin' half asleep
G#m
I'm invitin' you to see who's next up in this rap shit
D#m
Hooks, beats and verses, every song I score a hat trick
G#m
Always said I'd never sign but lately, I been tempted
D#m
'Cause my dad just asked for gas money, my mom just said she spent it
C#m
It's easy to pass judgement when you comfortable in life
G#m
But desperation breeds a beast, the truth won't always be polite
G#m
So I'm fresh up off the flight, headed towards a life boat
D#m
Hope their word has good credit like a FICO
G#m
Only time will tell but I been feelin' like it's my time
D#m A#m
How long you gonna keep a star player on the sidelines?
G#m
But, I'm the coach, guess God is the owner
D#m
Guess I'm just waitin' for that tap on my shoulder
C#m
Tellin' me to go in, I'ma stop the game
G#m
Blow the whistle like Snowden, young Terrell Owens
G#m
Makin' noise, still one of the greats though
D#m
I never RIP, I want MVP written on my gravestone
G#m
Your boy buzzin' in I swear this life is like a game show
D#m
One man army, when I sing, I get Tank hoes
G#m
Yeah, you know that R&B freak love
D#m
Weed so loud, Imma need you all to speak up
C#m
I hope every album that I drop has Carter III buzz
G#m
Wake up, I'm tryna live a life you couldn't dream of
G#m
I'm careful with who I include in all of this
D#m
'Cause most want a free ride but I ain't handin' out scholarships
G#m
Went to college for a semester
D#m
All it taught me was that college ain't for everyone
I'm not like everybody, so I left
G#m
My mom still supported but she was upset
D#m
'Till she saw the crowd scream my name out on Sunset
C#m
She got to watch her son light up the whole spot
G#m
Right there in that moment it's like she understood my whole plot
G#m
Different women, different offers every day now
D#m
I could see the reason why some people wanna hate now
G#m
'Cause my past 24 been more action packed than Jack Bauer
D#m
Made 100 thousand in the past hour
G#m
It's been a whirlwind, let me hit the blunt with you
D#m
Barely in the industry and I already got trust issues
C#m
Damn, or maybe past relationships, did that
G#m
I gave 'em all my trust and I ain't never get this shit back
G#m
But, fuck it, 'cause I'm on to new things
D#m
I looked up at the sky, long enough, I grew wings
G#m
Now I'm talkin' to myself like they gon' try and break you
D#m
God forbid it happens, breakdowns create break throughs
G#m
I'm sittin' on the debut, sounds like a greatest hits
D#m
Labels tryna eat, so of course they want a stake in it
C#m
And of course they talk of money, so of course I entertain this shit
G#m
Of course they lookin' at my table tryna find a place to sit
G#m
I'm patient with my process, weighin' all my options
D#m
Ya'll talkin' way too much, all these phone calls sound like auctions
G#m
Funny 'cause you used to laugh when I would say I'm ready
D#m
Now the ones who doubted me are gonna tell you how they met me
G#m
When I'm standin' where I knew I would, number 1 spot
D#m
Another year, another rapper, yeah, another one flop
C#m
Ya'll barely fuckin' the game, you on the scene for 5 minutes
G#m
Then you bust and it's over, I'm a movie, you're just a snippet
G#m
This that '89 Pistons, fuck the game up, get rings shit
D#m
Name your favorite rapper, bet I got him on my hit list
C#m
Name your dream girl, bet I end up on her wish list
D#m
Tell me how you want it, beast raps, or I could sing shit
G#m
It's time to wake up, industry full of hypnotists
D#m
I speak for myself, I don't need a ventriloquist
C#m
I need a vacation to where the real people live
G#m
You just stay on vacation, havin' real ego trips
G#m
You don't wanna admit, that without you I'd be fine
D#m
But the truth is hard to swallow when you chokin' on your pride
G#m
That goes for the girls I swooped in on
D#m
Made their brain drool, they gave top with a bib on
G#m
Always keep my switch on, watch me illuminate
D#m
Up at the studio, Drake is just a room away
C#m
Maybe I should barge in, maybe I should wait
G#m
This gon' be a funny story couple months from today
When I tell it, and it's like
