Letterman

[Hook] School of hard knocks Graduated w/ a letterman [Verse 1] On a mission to get it and bring it to fruition These Youngins tripping They don't know who gets the recognition They pretending like it's make believe Got em concealing both they faces With that Photoshop And maybeline Laid up feet up Eating from they silver spoon While we chillin eatin noodles in the living room Running on fumes on a grind Tryna reach a dream Tryna get ahead So the dream is out chasing me Go getter mentality Flow up out the galaxy Liu kang the beat Go and check the fatalities Crawled before I took steps It happened kinda gradually Chopped it up and cooled it off Before ingesting casually Daddy said be patient Ain't nothing worth it is easy That over nightings cool Til u peak before ya season This chest it isn't checkers U a queen not a pawn Go ahead and make ya move Do what u do uh! [Hook] [Verse 2] This ain't a game but a New Testament Wrote up my proposal and it's time To make an estimate Throw all your investments in This different kind if specimen Shaking up the scale Make you recount all ya measurements Moving in position Pay attention Watch me work it out I just hope u listening with 2 ears Not an opened mouth Been a long road Taking cues on where I'm going now Even if they black ball I ain't ever bowing down (alright now) Battle scared veteran Skin covered like melanin School of hard knocks Graduated with a letterman Who you think you better then Better go and get ya medicine Cuz yo I'm bout as sick Bout as sick as my intestines been But that don't stop no show I hope u know and listen loud and clear Even in the distance I'm way closer than what I appear Look up to the heavens Get a glimpse of where it's coming from It's only the beginning These the makings of a champion [Hook] [Verse 3] Can't say I lack the heart When it's beatin on these bars Mosaics of these scars I'm saying we beatin odds Destined like apocalypse winters And it's too cold Out to raise the threshold While you focused on your dress code That's too much on my mental I ain't even bout to stress With these buttons on my heart That these Youngins wanna press Said it mean I meant it It's mine and imma defend it Took a break to handle mine And I promise it's been a sec Came back like resssurect 2 times I never left What chu expect When the highest of highest is ya connnect See I learned a while ago That I was here for something greater You ain't liking what I dish You can go and find the waiter Cuz shorty serve her own Yocan best believe I does it I get it from my abba I don't put nothing above it Best believe it's heaven sent And the benevolence is two fold Enough to put this thang in a choke hold
