[Verse]
You ever felt the whole world inside your palms
Paranoid as shit cause you don't wanna steer wrong
You felt them hanging on to every lyric in your song
And even then they won't get the fucking greatness till you're gone
I thought not, saw time on the false clock
Don't wanna be perceived as something that you're not
But the game is on the line and you look like a sure shot
So the head of every table they claim that it's your spot, yeah
Can't fail if you meant to be on top
You gotta be the one who makes it off your block
The point you wanna quit you find that you can't stop
Cause forever might be never, these minutes do tick-tock
It's hella scary preparing for legendary
Only time it's love the middle of February
Fuck the mass appeal, I'm comfortable being real
Earn me a couple mill and slide of somewhere chill
I once said I was just a regular nigga
How did I become the world's biggest enigma
They say I ain't relatable, debatable
Check my catalog, that's the only thing I'll say to you
Know I always grow, never change, I thought that was common sense
I saw into the future, there's things I'm trying to prevent
Creating 16's as means and ways to vent
But I'm back to being me, I'm sorry for your suspense
Bear with me, you hear me, should I explain
Giving you a guided tour of the chambers locked in my brain
Came and gave flame when part of me was ashamed
Yet completely satisfied with everything I became
These ain't words, they're scriptures put into verse
Thought I was going hard but homie it's getting worse
I made my best music while lacking the inspiration
So what you think that mean when I'm in the creative spaces
I swear this ain't a song it's only a scattered flurry
What takes a lifetime I'm trying to do before 30
I'm barely looking back on the things that I passed up
I was stuck in my denial had run-ins with bad luck
Was blind to the facts, now I see it was an omen
Everything I've done has only lead me to this moment
The deeper that you get the more you fall in the game
I'm showing flashes of Michael but treated like I'm Jermaine
It's so surreal I wrote this first song last
Headed toward the future giving glimpses of my past
I'm listening to records that I keep inside the stash
I know I would walk away if my morals did ever clash
A dark road to fame, I'm hoping I never crash
There's a hundred on this dash and my foot is on the gas
The corner of my eye is viewing what's in the rear
Trust is limited, nothing's close as they appear
You know the time is near but I'm only in first gear
I turned a minor hobby into a major career
I proved it to the world why not show them what I'm made of
And keep the same company around till it pay off
I stay off, anything you consider the norm
Exercising these beats that keep me in rare form
For a minute, I'll admit it, my decisions had me torn
Cause I know the killer game will call the vultures to swarm
The higher that I climb, the harder to keep in touch
This elevator glows, the sign is signaling up
Working overtime it never will mean much
Unless I score more goals than the fucking world cup
I'm sorry but I'm ready, pardon this confetti
It's time to celebrate I got the engine moving steady
When you need to be the one, you never will get the title
I'm on schedule but I was late for my arrival
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
The funny thing is
I was never gonna release this music
But I felt like I owed it
To you
Third time around
