Take Off

[Verse 1] A lot of people thinkin’ I’m eatin' the best of pork Since I’m reppin’ what I’m reppin’ in a place we call New York But you fail to see that it ain’t about the part of the pig Or how you eat it, but who you sharin’ it with, ya dig? I’m workin’ down to the bone, getting my back to bend I got the prongs, but I don’t have any outlets I can plug ‘em in And in music, the hardest thing you could find is some bucks to spend And I need help, but I can’t get it when I’m a coast away from friends Starting new chapters seem exciting at first And it is, but you better be on point and get to work I got that Shadow Moses status, flashing back to ‘98 OSP on everything, get anyone to bite the bait All of these sick risks can turn into pick sixes But I killed it at Sniper Wolf and I’m ‘bout to switch discs Aiming for Big Boss ranking and I’m getting there quickly And when I hit that, I’ll take my whole crew with me, uhh [Hook] God knows what’ll happen next But there’s a reason why these haters vexed So I know one thing for sure You won’t see me fall and hit the floor I’mma give what I got all I got Bring my finger towards my palm and take the shot They may doubt, they may stare, they may laugh and scoff But I’m takin’ off, I’m takin’ off [Verse 2] I was considered runt of the litter in roster list of everything I did, and it left a taste of something really bitter I pursued what I wanted, but everybody was frontin’ So believe me when I say that I had come here from nothin’ I never fit the aesthetic of whatever you hear in GT So I turned it to a benefit, a reason just to be me The lesson that I learned there is why I have almost made it I’m proud to rep my city, so I’ll never truly hate it Word to Bulldogs, Houstonians, Cardinals, MSM-ers It’s time we show ‘em all just exactly who are the winners Let’s do this – only thing we gotta do is start Be the spices in the food bringin’ life back to art And this artisan hit hard with bars not of sin I’ve been all around the world, these rappers just some Backyardigans Their worlds are in their mind, but I use that as an ottoman A pedestal to conduct an electric circus – Lonnie Lynn [Hook] God knows what’ll happen next But there’s a reason why these haters vexed So I know one thing for sure You won’t see me fall and hit the floor I’mma give what I got all I got Bring my finger towards my palm and take the shot They may doubt, they may stare, they may laugh and scoff But I’m takin’ off, I’m takin’ off [Verse 3] All my competitors see debauchery as a bigger picture So they need to use the whole tree to paint all they caricatures I don’t mind the spoils from fans poppin’ your CD in But after you reap your crops, you gotta plant some seeds again So I’m back at it – lining it all up just like a crack addict Inhale, exhale, aim, then attack at it When a mic is out my sight will be the time I’m finished But until then, I’m here and I’m all in it – khrys! [Hook] God knows what’ll happen next But there’s a reason why these haters vexed So I know one thing for sure You won’t see me fall and hit the floor I’mma give what I got all I got Bring my finger towards my palm and take the shot They may doubt, they may stare, they may laugh and scoff But I’m takin’ off, I’m takin’ off [Bridge] (I'm takin' off like) Na-na-na na na-na-na na na na-na-na Na-na-na na na-na-na (I'm takin' off like) Na-na-na na na-na-na na na na-na-na Na-na-na na na-na-na na na na-na-na (Yeah!) I’mma give what I got all I got Bring my finger towards my palm and take the shot They may doubt, they may stare, they may laugh and scoff But I’m takin’ off, I’m takin’ off [Outro x2] But I'm takin' off, I'm takin' off
