[Intro]
Sixteen years in the making
I’m not faking
When the pressure’s on, I’m never shaking
I have to get it now but I gotta be patient
And I gotta stand out, nothing about me is basic
Aight bet
Yeah, yeah
It's sixteen in the making right here
Whew
Aye
(M-Mubz got beats) Aye
[Hook]
Sixteen years in the making
I’m not faking
When the pressure’s on, I’m never shaking
I have to get it now but I gotta be patient
And I gotta stand out, nothing about me is basic
Sixteen years in the making
I’m not faking
When the pressure’s on, I’m never shaking
I have to get it now but I gotta be patient
And I gotta stand out, nothing about me is basic
[Verse 1]
I’m 1OAK, One of A Kind
I’m minding mine
I’m always ahead, because I’m the front of the line
Trailblazing for the competition like a lane divide
Always knew I had that dog in me, I got the fight
I know you overlooked me, I even doubt sometimes
I mean dang who really this kid could rhyme?
I did it all out of my closet who needs studio time?
And just like Hannah Montana, I been through "The Climb"
I mean I really wasn’t made for this life
But I got a God given talent, so I gotta use it right
I got the glo just like a candles light
I’m always sharp and witty, man I know that I’m bright
I’m always applying pressure, until it ain’t no more time
So it’s no giving up by the buzzer to halftime
I’m ten toes like a Hamilton or a dime
And I always keep it a franklin but that was a given (Mubz got beats)
At one point in my life I was so timid
Now I’m able to paint pictures so vivid
People wanting me to fail, man I know that they livid
It’s hard being me, my life you can’t even live it
Expectations on expectations, man I’m winning
No matter the situation, I get the job finished
I’m a commodity like Garnett, the big ticket
People copying a pasting each other so it’s no trend I’m going to mimic
[Hook]
Sixteen years, in the making
I’m not faking
When the pressure’s on, I’m never shaking
I have to get it now but I gotta be patient
And I gotta stand out, nothing about me is basic
Sixteen years, in the making
I’m not faking
When the pressure’s on, I’m never shaking
I have to get it now but I gotta be patient
And I gotta stand out, nothing about me is basic
[Verse 2]
It ain’t no punk in any of one of my genes
And I’m Brent Clark White, that's version 3
And I been working hard like my name was Shaquem
Because with a disadvantage, I overcame for the team
I’m running the game, making everyone else look paraplegic
My team is like the Warriors because we stay sweeping
And I hate when outsiders rapping it easy
Because if that’s the case, then everybody would make it
Sixteen in the making
New levels, new devils, that I’m facing
People turning basic
Too much slander to my name but I gotta take it
They said I’ll never be good enough, I guess I’ll have to face it
Sike nah, imma make sure you know imma make it
Grinding for me is on a everyday basis
I just don’t want to feel like every effort I put forward was wasted
Want all of the bad things to be faded
I hope none of my gang ever goes psycho
Stepping on red bottoms, looking like typos
Pockets so fat, when I make a purchase that’s lipo
People come and go, I guess that's how life goes
I’m starting to feel like the 1, like Derrick Rose
I want to be the king of my city, but you never know
The way life going I could be the king of the flows
I mean it would be cool, but to everyone failure is predisposed
To knock you down like a box of dominoes
But I’m not the average joe
In this game called life, it’s easy to have more cons than pros
I can’t wait to put my wrist on froze
And I know
That every time I hop into a booth I gotta put on a show
I just want to master the flow, and the tempo
It's been a great sixteen in the making, and I pray to God that there really is more
[Outro]
Sixteen years in the making
I’m not faking
When the pressure’s on, I am never shaking
I have to get it now but I gotta be patient
And I gotta stand out, nothing about me is basic
Sixteen
Yeah
