[Verse 1]

I woke up with a pay cut, trying to get my bank up/
Bull headed flow - I ain't trying to be a Laker/
How you finna live, if you ain't banking any Paper?/
Put me on a crucifix, if it means I am the saviour/
Long way from Brooklyn, but that's literally where I'm looking/
Man on the Moon, I'm just trying to make a footprint/
They ain't got a clue, that's probably why they're over-looking/
But I ain't chasing you, see I'm really over, looking/
Snow blade flow, man I been Wayne Gretz-king/
Upped my fan base, still the same lames testing/
People try to know where my fam-lay's resting/
Want the high life, ain't content with picket fences/
Go ahead, pick a number - any number man/
Any fan, who really listens - hear my hunger fam/
Yeah I know I'm chasing something they don't understand/
But when I get it, then you'll know I found the promised land/

[Hook]

And that's the way it is, then we gotta get it/
See I ain't trying to make a life, that I'll be regretting/
Get It?

[Verse 2]

I married money, told my girl don't be offended/
Told my friends, my pursuits about to be relentless/
These record label suits, got me in the trenches/
Told me dumb it down a little bit for comprehension/
They hear my hungers pains, I'll never lose a race/
Wake up early just to beat these other rapper lames/
Never napping, even though that I been up for days/
Never happen, what they tell me straight up to my face/
But we're not even in the same zone/
Stitch these other critics up, I got the game sewn/
Never wanted help, I took the challenge on my own/
I'll make sure everybody's cool before I take the throne/
Now take this home, have a think about it/
Even when I do a hook I'm still Kareem about it/
How you 'bout to put me down my self esteems a mountain/
Breathe easy, I know it seems astounding/

[Hook x 2]
